Drag me to Hell Got souls to sell Gonna break my knees As I beg you please I taste a drop of God on your tongue I feel forgiven, I feel young And so the horror mounts all in the upstairs hall I see the sex and food and blood and guts on the wall This place seems fit for you but I don’t even know your name Concrete floors buckle in fear at the site of your angel face The beast between your legs sanguine, in all its rage My God, I’ve been here before it’s you… Windowpane star All I can say is I’ve been here before but I don’t know who you are Over and over and over my shoulder but I can’t see very far

She eyes me like a sad situation located at the back of the bus I eye her like a warm set of sushi but I know that she costs too much Do you really want to fuck with me? Is it something that I can’t even see? Now I think about her love all the time I think I think about it all of the time I think I’m bankrupt and fraud I think I really need to talk to God Am I more than a man? Am I something that I don’t understand? Does it eat your soul? Do you need that rock and roll? Do you need me, Honey? A dynamite girl that I barely know Thirty years deep with nothing to show Two more tabs, I’m out of control Keep your mouth shut so nobody knows Do you need me, Honey?

Jesus Christ, never ever let me go Tom and Frances, they be banging on my door Same old city, same old town that I love I tell Frances, I take my orders from above Come on Tom, is that blood on your shirt? Frances smiles and now I’m rest assured Ok guys, come and stay for a while Just remember, I got a wife and child Little lamb, little lamb, little lamb Little lamb, little lamb, little lamb It’s 10am and Frances don’t even care She’s got a bullet in her arm and I’m starting to stare Tom looks nervous as he asks me for smokes Is that your blood? Well, here’s a Newport, of course. He sparks a lighter, Frances looks at the ground I grab a kitchen knife as I turn around Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake Little lamb, little lamb, little lamb Little lamb, little lamb, little lamb I take the knife, I jab it into his neck Frances screams, I drive it into her neck I suck their blood then I spit on the floor Jesus Christ, never ever let me go

I’m the hateful edge of a broken tooth inside a homeless schizophrenic I’m the fires burning in one thousand starving orphans’ stomachs I’m the Morning Star’s sun, I’m the devil Lucifer worships I was sad… But now I’m back on my bullshit I thought I saw you in a dream I thought you were someone else to me I thought I knew everything I’m the lake where your body is floundering I’m the horror in the tabernacle I’m the treacherous act inside the confessional I thought I saw you in a dream I thought I saw you in my dreams I’m the hateful edge of a broken tooth inside a homeless schizophrenic I’m the fires burning in one thousand starving orphans’ stomachs I’m the Morning Star’s sun, I’m the devil Lucifer worships I was sad… But now I’m back on my bullshit

Wayside, the world it moves to the left Partying with some dude named Jeff My God, everything feels blonde Hiding teeth behind the face forgot I thought you told me where you parked? Everyone wants to see their faces in the dark Don’t stare, but I think I know that guy Everyone wants to know what it feels like when they die Too late, no one believes in God Too late, no one believes in the world Too late, you found the words but you, but you forgot Too late, too late, too late Doesn’t anybody know where we parked the fucking car? Isn’t hope about something else that we consider art? Holy shit, for real, I know that fucking guy Everyone wants to know what it feels like when they die

Dicky Ruby 08:34
My friends think I’m dangerous, I think they love it though Their talk makes me anxious, I think they know it all My body feels so faded, can’t feel my legs at all My name is Dick Ruby, I want to tell the world Steve, my man, six bags into his hands Well, he’s my brother, part time lover That mother fucker, he loves to dance We all get lost We all get off Sixteen, pure and clean What it is to dream a dream Mouthful luxury More than what would seem obscene We all get lost We all get off Don’t really want to see you, don’t really want to see you Don’t really want to know you, don’t... Don’t want to see you ruining on my bathroom floor Don’t really want to see you dancing all alone I don’t really want to know you, I don’t know you anymore Don’t really need to know you, I’ve heard it all before

about

Super Snake New Jersey

Super Snake is a mouthful of psychedelics washed down with ten beers while listening to Black Sabbath and the dirtier parts of Sonic Youth. "Leap of Love", their 2017 LP, was recorded with Kevin Antreassian from the Dillinger Escape Plan in a haunted cabin in the middle-of-nowhere Virginia. Terrifying antics ensue. Sit back, close your eyes, and enjoy the leap. ... more
