SABERTOOTH ZOMBIE LYRICS

1. Dance

Time in bondage, space in chains
Cripple the dance of ageless in ballrooms of fame
Time in bondage, Dark face sustain
Lie rest to elders in coffins of change
And, oh my friend, I watch you age like wine
And I see you age through rust colored eyes
I’m going down, but not in any book
I’m going down, I’ll see you in hell.

2. Crooked Divinity

You promote fear, perpetuating guns and power
Does for(four?) years at the academy, make you a god?
You’re just a pig, a pig to me
But a scary pig with crooked divinity
You’re a fink, you stick your nose in the public shit
Do you really think
You are control because you work for the state?

3. Mr. Suit

[originally by Wire]

I'm tired of being told what to think
I'm tired of being told what to do
I'm sick of fucking phonies
I’m sick of you
No, no, no, no, no, no, Mr. Suit
Take all of your money, and shove it up your ass
'Cause you think you understand, well it's a fucking farce
I'm sick of fucking phonies
That's right, I'm sick of you
No, no, no, no, no, no, Mr. Suit
And if you turn and walk out that door
And take your fucking money, let me tell you what it's for
I'm sick of fucking phonies
That's right, I'm sick of you

4. The Bride (Lady Death III)

100,000 sad songs stuck in my head
Two clenching fist punching holes in my bed
Never seen a black cloud move indoors
It brought down a cold rain that flooded my floors
100,000 sad songs flooding my mind
Two calloused hands grasping gaps in time
I’m losing satisfaction of being your whore
When it’s time to turn to dust I wanna know who to trust
I’m getting beat up by minute hands withered and sore
When it’s time to turn to dust I wanna know who to trust
The candles are lit, the table is set
The lights are dimmed, impatient I sit
To share a mean with lady death and get a few things off my chest
One night alone with lady death to finally get some rest
I ask a question to the bride
Her black cat at her side: What’s going to happen to me when I die?
What am I going to find?
She replies, “The only peace lies in the grave
Without a chance to reflect
We were never meant to be saved
We were meant to infect”

5. Of Fear And Peace

On the street corner of my mind
There’s an apostle playing a harp
He says, “On this soapbox, I’ve begun to find, there’s so much peace in my heart.”
In the smoke-filled rooms of my mind
There’s a magician eager to start
He said, “I’m here to put the mystery back into death, there has never been fear in my heart”
And I’ll piss on the walls of organization
Cold stare in the eyes of convention
I still yearn to be the gleam of self-destructive eyes
Singing deathwish blues but still afraid to die
The moon reflecting the sun greets me when I’m out
Urges me to destroy, his friends all know my name
I follow them to the dam holding back a river of ire
He is the key inside of me that sets this world on fire.

6. The Traveling Carnival

The flight of the phoenix has been grounded
Tried to rise up but got pounded
Shake up dust, move to the next town
Nights spent channeling this desperate sound
Alas, the phoenix reaches the sky
Threatened by the jets jetting by
Not an inch of earth left to solitude
Not a piece of luck to see us through
How long do we’ve left to go?

7. Rock And Roll Friends

Property, property, property, the things I won are owning me
Energy, energy, en-ergy, my greatest ideas are haunting me
I know the leash is getting shorter
And I’m on the wrong end
But I’ve never heard music
As loud as in my head
I’ve got visits from the king of pop
The kings of punk and the king of pain
The price of crowns is going down
We’ll all be king someday
I’ll be the self proclaimed king of keeping bad company
Good thing my rock and roll friends got nowhere to be
