I Got Crazy

The papers say I killed my baby
For once the news it tells the truth
But let me tell you how it happened
Fuck the nice words they used
Cus when it came to killing you
Baby, I got crazy
Picked her up from Betty’s Diner
“Why don’t we go somewhere quieter”
Headed straight to Lover’s Lane
Took a detour at the gate
She said “Where are you taking me”
Baby, I got crazy
Mercy, please
She screamed and weeped
But now you see
She needed it
Woe

I Am an Island
03:20
|
|

I got the means to breathe
And I know it
But you’re choking me
Don’t you know it
Can I be myself without you
You don’t have to leave ‘less you want to
We’ve forgotten how
To just be ourselves
We lost it
In a supersonic mess of bullshit
Where does the pain end
I know it
Happiness again
I wrote it
I am he, I am he
I am he
I am life, I am death
I am king
I am an island
Not a stepping-stone
I am island
I can do it alone

Kisses

Kisses
Caked with our sin
You are
My love demon
Kisses
Dipped in vomit
You are
The snake I lick
If I die alone
I won't mind at all
My love never lived
He's been waiting down below
Kisses
Bathed in fire
My
Delicious liar
Kisses
Mixed with
Our pain
Blood of
The snake I crave
You will be tortured
You'll go insane
But if you love me
You'll take the pain

I’m gonna have to
I’ma gonna have to
I’ma gonna slit you’re throat

I’ma gonna have to
I’ma gonna grind your bones
I’m gonna have to
I’ma gonna have to
I’ma gonna take it slow
If you wanna play along
You gon’ have to drink some blood
I’ma gonna
I’ma gonna
I’ma go wild
Fuck
You
You’re
Dead

The Soul in the Hole
03:30
|
|
||
You’re the soul
In the hole
Where you rest
And corrode
Though alone
You offer
Your bones
You’re the soul
In the hole
Where I buried you
You’re the smut
On my mind
Makes me sick
Makes me cry
But I got you
When you gave
What was mine
You’re the smut
On my mind
Why won’t you die
You’re the shit
On my lip
And the crack
In my hip
I can’t dance
With you
On my mind
You’re the shit
On my lip
Though I buried you
Snakes
Slither round
In your vomit
On the ground
Though I hate you
It’s so
Beautiful
Snakes
Slither ‘round
Why won’t you die
You’re the waste
I excrete
Truly gone
I am free
You are nothing
But shit
To me
Evil soul
Of the hole
Farewell to thee

Handsome Devil
03:47

|

Come get fucked and fried
You gotta give a little
He’s a handsome guy
You grew up in the middle
If you want to
He don’t mean a fling
He wants to love a little
You’re a nasty thing
He’s got a silver whistle
Wet with sin
And bathtub gin
He’s your guy
Handsome Devil
Stuck in muck and mire
You gotta shake a little
Shit melts quick with fire
Although your bones are brittle
Greasy, nasty, mean
His style is a riddle
Please him quickly now
Or else you get the fiddle
Sing your song
Amongst the dogs
He’s your guy
H-A-N-D-S-O-M-E
Devil, alive

My Cinnamon Roll
You’re getting old
They come and go
My Cinnamon Roll
No one wants to love you
No one wants to try
They just wanna fuck ya
Open your eyes
No one wants to love you
Not unless you try
Someone had to tell ya
Open your eyes
My Cinnamon Roll
It’s time to go
Scrape off the mold
Reveal your soul
I cannot let go
My Cinnamon Roll

Doom and Gloom
04:33
|
|
||
Like meadow nettles
In bloom
I’m sticking to you
Come along
To my room
Doom and Gloom
Like two rose petals
In glue
I’m better with you
If you wanna cry
Come and stay a while
I just wanna see you smile
I can wait all night
And for the rest of my life
Like two stray cats
You will swoon
And you’re mine for good
And if I catch you
A lyin’
I’m gonna skin that hide
Sisters, there ain’t
No reason to cry
I’ll never give up
On you and I
I’m always gonna be there

Love and Gold
04:35
|
|

I’ve been known to
Tell a lie or two
To get what
I want from you
I have been
A nasty dog
And I’ll admit
I’ve licked it up
I am ready
To say sorry
Close my eyes
And take her hand
The only problem
Is my baby’s
Got another
Lover man
You tell Maurice
That Melissa is mine
I will take you
On a cruise
A pleasure cruise
Within your mind
I’ll touch your body
With my body
Only you
For all of time
Spread your body
Like an eagle
Say you love me
If you’re able
I am obsessed
But not hopeless
I can wait
‘Cus I am next
Holes
Getting filled
For the sake of goals
It’s not love
And it’s getting old
Fill you up with my drops
Of love and gold
I am sorry
For broken hearts
I am ready
To stop and start
Fill you up with my drops
Of love and gold
Can’t you see
That I’m trying
And I’m done
With my lying
Fill you up with my drops
Of love and gold
Everything
Is gonna be great
Take a chance
Take a stab at fate
Fill you up with my drops
Of love and gold
La la la…
Love and gold

There’s a snake in my boot
And it’s trying to get loose
Dance around
Dance around

Follow Me
10:32

When I was a child
I was a dreamer
Running wild
I couldn’t do it
I couldn’t do it
Boo hoo
Now I am a man
And I’ve focused my hands
And I can do it
I can do it too
When you come awake
And you dread the certain day
There’s no need
To get down on your knees
Just you stand tall
And realize you got it all
And you can do it
You can do it too
But if you do it
You gotta do it for you
Follow me
I can tell
Just what you wanna be
Let’s be free
I’ll unleash the beast in thee
You’ll see
Anything you wanna do is fine
Let’s be free
We are divine
We are just the same
Believe me
I’ve felt the pain
I crossed my heart
And hoped to die
But then something changed
I said fuck this fucking angst
I can do it
I can see it through
All you have to do
Is love your self in truth
Getting there is strange
But it feels so good
Come heed my call
All for one, one for all
If I can do it
You can do it too
But if you do it
You gotta do it for you
Open your mind

POP GOES THE EVIL Cincinnati, Ohio
Pop Goes the Evil isn’t afraid of the taboo. Murder, isolation, sex, jealousy, profanity, self-examination — you name it, they touch on it. Pop Goes the Evil is a straightforward rock group, but its multifaceted musicality is evident, wrapping them in such a jaunty, quirky, tongue-in-cheek package, you can’t help but dance along. -Leyla Shokoohe, Cincinnati CityBeat ... more
