THE LEGION OF DOOM LYRICS

1. I Know What You Buried Last Summer

She said
"Don't, don't let it go to your head
Boys like you are a dime a dozen,
Boys like you are a dime a dozen"
She said
"You're a touch overrated,
You're a lush and I hate it
But these grass stains on my knees
They won't mean a thing"

Rest in peace girl, your death is such a shame (I'd never lie to you)
The paper said a bullet got in your way
But I smell foul play, possible poisoning (Unless I had to, I'll do what I got to)
I had to bring you in for questioning (I'll do what I got to, unless I had to)
I went to your grave, dug up your body (And with my one last gasping breath)
Brought it to my house, where you lay (I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt)

And all I
Need to know
Is that I'm something you'll be missing
Maybe I should hate you for this (So let's play doctor babe)
Never really did ever quite get that far
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that... (You could help solve this case)
For me

'Cause I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions
This will be the last chance you get to drop my name

'Cause I'm a wishful… Get to drop my name

If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (Maybe I should...)
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (...hate you for this)
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (Maybe I should...)
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (...hate you for this)
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (Maybe I should...)
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (...hate you for this)
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (Maybe I should...)
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (...hate you for this)

So let's play doctor babe
We'll operate today
Incisions must be made
You could help solve this case
For me...

2. Dottie In A Car Crash

One night doesn't mean the rest of my life

Come tomorrow I'll be on my way back home
In the morning call from a roadside telephone
One night doesn't mean the rest of my life
If I go it's not impossible but possible is probably wrong (Time to let this pass)
If I go it's not impossible (The time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
Time runs through our veins
(It starts and stops and starts and stops again)
We don't stand a chance in this threadbare time
(The time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
Time to let this pass
(The time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
Staring at the setting sun
No reason to come back again
The twilight world in blue and white
The needle and the damage done

I don't want to feel this way forever
A dead letter marked return to sender

If I go it's not impossible but possible is probably wrong (Time to let this pass)
If I go it's not impossible (The time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
Time runs through our veins
In a Crash

3. The Quiet Scream

I'm missing your bed, I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak
And this bottle of beast is taking me home

I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets
But you're not alone and you're not discreet
You make sure I know, who's taking you home

I'm reading your note over again
There is not a word that I comprehend,
Except when you signed it
"I will love you always and forever"

I'm missing your laugh, how did it break?
And when did your eyes begin to look fake?
I hope you're as happy as your pretending

I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets,
And I am alone, in my defeat
I wish I knew you were safely at home

I'm missing your bed, I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak,
And this bottle of beast is taking me home

We saw the western coast
I saw the hospital
Nursed the shoreline like a wound
Reports of lover's tryst
Were neither clear nor descript
We kept it safe and slow
The quiet things that no one ever knows

So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals

As for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs,
And sit alone and wonder,
How you're making out,
But as for me I wish that I was anywhere
With anyone making out

I'm missing your laugh, how did it break?
And when did your eyes begin to look fake?
I hope you're as happy as your pretending

I'm missing your bed, I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak
And this bottle of beast is taking me home

So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals

So keep the blood in your head (Your hair, it's everywhere)
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel (Screaming infidelities and taking its wear)
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals

So keep the blood in your head (Your hair, it's everywhere)
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel (Screaming infidelities and taking its wear)
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals

Your hair, it's everywhere,
Screaming infidelities and taking its wear

4. Dangerous Since 1979

My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
Kiss me one last time

My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
Kiss me one last time

Time is running, its running on empty and the gas is running out
I've decided that tonight is the night
That I let love aside
Full speed ahead this seems to be the place
I've seen this once before
Planned perfection sought in my dreams
Hoping this would take you home

If I could become the servant of all - no lower place to fall
If I could become the servant of all - no lower place to fall
(My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
Kiss me one last time)
If I could become the servant of all - no lower place to fall
If I could become the servant of all

You watched me like a 10 car highway wreck with detached, vulgar curiosity
This looking down at the tops of the hats of us passers-by from your 7th story balcony
(Drowning in my sleep, I’m drowning in my sleep)
From such a height you missed the creatures too small for sight carry on covert
Conversation and the misguided insects crowned me their grasshopper king with a Dance of celebration

My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
So kiss me one last time (Shut your eyes)

My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
So kiss me one last time (Shut your…)

I will now bring new meaning to the word alone
Endless nights of dreaming of life
And the days we should have spent here

Drowning in my sleep I'm drowning in my sleep
Drowning in my sleep I'm drowning in my sleep

It was a matter of time - I always said I could see now I'm going blind
It was a matter of time - I always said I could see now I'm going blind
It was a matter of time - I always said I could see now I'm going blind
It was a matter of miserable time -- but I heard somewhere there was a cure for useless eyes?
My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
So kiss me one last time (Shut your eyes)

My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight (So hold on tight)
So kiss me one last time (Shut your…)

5. Stupid Kill

There are things that used to make me smile
One of them was you for just a little while
You left me for dead so far away
I replaced you with fear and shame
You'll be happy on the day I die

There are things that used to make me laugh
But now they're deeply buried in the past
I left them there so far away
Replaced my humor with my pain
I'll be happy on the day it dies

'Cause I'm sick of the stabbing,
I'm sick of the breaking,
I'm sick of the bleeding until we fall down
Let's fall asleep together,
hold me darling 'cause I'm scared,
and I can't do this alone.

Remember when I said I love you
Well, forget it I take it back
I was just a stupid kid back then
I take back every word that I said

Remember when I said I love you
Well, forget it I take it back
I was just a stupid kid back then
I take back every word that I said

There are things that used to make you cry
One of them was me for just a little while
Why is it that you had to say
Goodbye in your special way
You slashed the tires on my car

'Cause I'm sick of the stabbing,
I'm sick of the breaking,
I'm sick of the bleeding until we fall down
Let's fall asleep together,
hold me darling 'cause I'm scared,
and I can't do this alone.

Remember when I said I love you
Well, forget it I take it back
I was just a stupid kid back then
I take back every word that I said

Remember when I said I love you
Well, forget it I take it back
I was just a stupid kid back then
I take back every word that I said

Remember when I said I love you
Well, forget it I take it back
I was just a stupid kid back then…

6. Destroy All Vampires

A star up in the sky
A Poem to the dead
Let this mistake
Bring a vivid crystal to her eyes

A star up in the sky
A Poem to the dead
Let this mistake
Bring a vivid crystal to her eyes

And if they get me and the sun goes down into the ground (A star up in the sky)
And if they get me take this spike to my heart and (A Poem to the dead)
(Let this mistake bring a vivid crystal to her eyes)
Someone get me to the doctor, someone get me to a church
Where they can pump this venom gaping hole
And you must keep your soul like a secret in your throat
And if they come and get me

[Triune Rap]

Someone get me to the doctor, and someone call the nurse
And someone buy me roses, and someone burned the church
We're hanging out with corpses, and driving in this hearse
And someone save my soul tonight, please save my soul

A star up in the sky
A Poem to the dead
Let this mistake
Bring a vivid crystal to her eyes

Let me walk on high wire of rusty nails

A star up in the sky
A poem to the dead
Let this mistake
Bring a vivid crystal to her eyes
So drain out my lungs
Before the fluid brings a choke
I can not inhale the sparkle of your voice

A star up in the sky
A poem to the dead
Let this mistake
Bring a vivid crystal to her eyes
So drain out my lungs
Before the fluid brings a choke
I can not inhale the sparkle of your voice

7. At Your Funeral For A Friend

This song will become the anthem of your underground.
You're two floors down getting high in the back room.
If I flooded out your house, do you think you'd make it out,
Or would you burn up before the water filled your lungs?

And at your funeral I will sing the requiem.

(Throw that punch, swing to hit the target
It's a pointless game, one better, less played)
This song will become the anthem of your underground.
You're two floors down getting high in the back room.
(Suicide to kiss your kids goodnight)
If I flooded out your house, do you think you'd make it out,
Or would you burn up before the water filled your lungs?
(Will you take from them, what they've taken from you)

And at your funeral I will sing the requiem.
I'd offer you my hand, it would hurt too much to watch you die.

Just like your unbroken records (unbroken)
(And at your funeral I will sing the requiem)
A comfort for you tonight

Just like your unbroken records (unbroken)
(And at your funeral I will sing the requiem)
A comfort for you tonight

Just like your unbroken records (unbroken)
(I'd offer you my hand, it would hurt too much to watch you die)
A comfort for you tonight

Same old songs
Same old songs
Same old songs *Fades*

8. Lolita’s Medicine

These are the words that tear you apart (So I'm sorry)
And these are the words that take you away (As two hands open doors)
And these are just words they'll tear you apart (So I'm sorry)
When no one here will say what needs to say (To steal my life away)

Climbing on the way up,
Sizing up the competition,
Waiting for the right time,
Strike a chord and change your life

It's this air and time that's bringing me home again
A lame attempt at playing the part again now
In a place you don't know
And this stance as sturdy as leaves in a storm (Don't you ever think for one-second)
The premise and motive fueling blank faces (That I will forget)
The fool in a place you don't know (The reasons that I cried)
In this place, you don't

New medicines should ease this pain.
They're the only ailment for it. All over again

New medicines should ease this pain.
They're the only ailment for it. All over again

Regret's how I spell your name
In light of what you have done
How can you not feel the same?
My love will fade with the sun
As days go by, shed a tear (This is not a product)
I hate your face more than life
I'll fake a smile for you my dear (We're not in a competition)
So turn away

These are the words that tear you apart (Waiting for the right time)
And these are the words that take you away (Strike a chord and change your life)
I'm not in the business of faking to please vain opposers
A dead legion of new, cloned followers
You're cornered in a place you don't know
In this world, you don't

New medicines should ease this pain
They're the only ailment for it. All over again

New medicines should ease this pain
They're the only ailment for it. All over again
All over again
All over again
All over again (Climbing on the way up)
All over again (Sizing up the competition)
All over…
All over…
(Waiting for the right time)
(Strike a chord and change your life)

9. Icarus Underwater

Believe the news, I'm gone for good
Call off the search, no one will know that I'm down here
Believe the note I left for you
You can't turn back the clocks, in a car underwater with time to kill

Make time slower, give me longer
It's too late for me, no one will know that I'm down here
And believe your dreams of me sinking
So far, below, you can't pull me up from here so don't try

Standing at attention
Dreams cascading around you like rushing water
Every pore is filled with hope

In a car underwater with time to kill

(Let me go)

Oh, Icarus tempting fate again
Altitude sickness setting in
Tradewinds bury fire from broken wings into arms below the ocean

(Leave it up to me)
(To burden you again)
(This ones not your…)

Leave it up to me
To burden you again
This ones not your fault
So forget
So forget
So forget
So forget

[Planet Asia Rap]

(Leave it up to me)
(To burden you again)

Leave it up to me
To burden you again
This ones not your fault
So forget
So forget
So forget
So forget

Don't think back, don't think back of me at all
Just let me go
Don't think back, don't think back of me at all
Just let me go
Don't think back, don't think back of me at all (Let me go)
Don't think back, don't think back of me at all (Let me go)
Don't think back, don't think back of me at all (Let me go)

I'm in a car underwater with time to kill,
Thinking back I forgot to tell you this
I didn't care that you left and abandoned me,
What hurts more is I would still die for you

I'm in a car underwater with time to kill,
Thinking back I forgot to tell you this
I didn't care that you left and abandoned me,
What hurts more is I would still die for you
And I would still die for you

10. Ebola In Memphis

Boys shoot to thrill from the hip. This time we put the "act" in action
We've tricked the pigs into thinking that this auction is a pageant
In no time there will be makeup on our new set of cutlery
The livestock is star struck, they're all salivating like ravenous cartoons

Waltz around the room, with a glaze in your stare
In your tuxedo suit. I'll give it a name
(Last call, kill it)
Lower defenses, I'll lower the casket
(Last call, kill it)
Open the door, open the grave

Last call, kill it
Last call, kill it
Last call, kill it
Kill it, kill it

In no time there will be makeup on our new set of cutlery
In no time there will be makeup on our new set of cutlery

Murder. Now you're doing the waltz with your murderer
Murder. Now you're doing the waltz with your murderer
Murder. Now you're doing the waltz with your murderer
Murder. Now you're doing the waltz with your murderer

Last call, kill it
Last call, kill it
Last call, kill it
Kill it, kill it

[KRS ONE Rap]

Last call, kill it
Last call, kill it
Last call, kill it
Kill it, kill it

Last call, kill it
Last call, kill it (Yeah)
Last call, kill it
Kill it, kill it

This is a rock and roll takeover
Living each day one night at a time
There were mercy fucks, there was blood
You should have been there by my side
(This is red handed)
Last call, kill it

11. Devil In A Blue Dress

New Jersey bound
When sound asleep they'll find you
At your most vulnerable poll position
Speak up, let out
When down the street
The corner boys fuck shit up

Scream loud, scream Sayonara, oh, oh, oh
Sweet Josephine, will you follow me home?
Scream loud, scream Sayonara, oh, oh, oh
Sweet Josephine, will you fuck me back home?

(Just like the lady in a blue dress)
Speak up, let out
Caught in the crossfire
Compared to the step to the bone that might break
It's too late to find a better way out of this
With the finest regards that I lost
In the cracks of this street
(Just like the lady in a blue dress)

Scream loud, scream Sayonara, oh, oh, oh
(Wide open. Now you're dead and gone)
Sweet Josephine, will you follow me home?
Scream loud, scream Sayonara, oh, oh, oh
Sweet Josephine, will you fuck me back home?

When you're down on the floor bleeding, bastard
You'll be getting home real soon
(Just like the lady in a blue dress, you've got cigarettes on your breath)
And I'll pray for you high health
Don't let them scare you
When you're down on the floor bleeding, bastard
You'll be getting home real soon
(Hair spray and some cheap perfume)
(Hair spray and some cheap perfume)

You say that you want respect
Well then you better get some for yourself
(Scream loud, scream Sayonara, oh, oh, oh)
'Cause all that I see right now,
(Sweet Josephine, will you follow me home?)
Is someone who's lost and insecure
'Cause all that I see right now,
(Sweet Josephine, will you follow me home?)
Is someone who's lost and insecure

12. A Threnody For A Grand

It's so hard to see when your eyes are rolling in the back of your head
It's even harder to speak when everything you say just comes out wrong

All you want is the world to bleed,
Someone somewhere stole your desire
The pain akin to, being punched in the throat, and stabbed in the chest

It's so hard to see when your eyes are rolling in the back of your head
It's even harder to speak when everything you say just comes out wrong

Your bed swallows you whole as the days bleed together, torment on the lips
Of a loved one, and if you try hard enough,
You can almost taste her, feel her pass and scream,
"Oh god why me?"

This is a call to arms
For all those who recognize romance as,
As a dying scene, who'll take it to their graves;
This is a call to arms
For all who hold this sacrament close,
May our hearts burn on

This is a call to arms
For all those who recognize romance as,
As a dying scene, who'll take it to their graves;
This is a call to arms
For all who hold this sacrament close,
May our hearts burn on

(It's so hard to see when your eyes are rolling in the back of your head)
This is a call to arms
(It's even harder to speak when everything you say just comes out wrong)
This is a call to arms
For all who hold this sacrament close,
May our hearts burn on

13. My Holiday Burns

My eyes burn from these tears
You'd think I'd learn over these years
Good things won't last forever

So what the hell am I suppose to do
You only wanted the things I couldn't give to you

What became of everyone i used to know?
Where did our respectable convictions go?
Your words don't match the story that your actions show, but what do I know?
I'm sure you can't help but remembering
I thought that you'd be one not to forget,
But remembering's not helping you yet
Say goodnight means goodbye.
I know you think my life would stop with you away
Maybe I can see you on the holidays,
But you're worlds away
I've never forgotten all our yesterdays but I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays

I can't expect you to spend forever with me
I live for that single moment

The evidence presents itself accusingly,
Your absence speaking everything you think of me
Now that I am faced with opportunity
You're not remembering
I'm not asking you anyway
Even if you ever could cave in
I wouldn't know where to begin

Say goodnight
(I take back everything)
Means goodbye
(And leave me scrambling)
I know you think my life would stop with you away
(Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place)
Maybe I can see you on the holidays, (I take back everything)
(And leave me scrambling)
But you're worlds away (Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place)
Maybe I can see you on the holidays, (I take back everything)
(And leave me scrambling)
But you're worlds away (Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place)
I've never forgotten all our yesterdays but I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays
(Holidays)

Say goodnight
(I take back everything)
Means goodbye
(And leave me scrambling)
I know you think my life would stop with you away
(Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place)
Maybe if we're speaking on the holidays, (I take back everything and leave me scrambling)
(Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place)

14. Hands Down Gandhi

I'm a soap box yelling into megaphones
Killing hard rocks using carcasses as stepping stones
Had to promise that I'd stop holding my marches
The day that Chris Columbus got crucified in golden arches

My pedestal was too tall to climb off
In fact that's the reason for the high horse
And from up here I see marines and hummers on a conquest
Underdogs with wonder bras in a push up contest
All for the sake of military recruitment
It felt like Kent State the way they targeted the students
I galloped off whistling "Ohio."

The rest of them, stuck doing stand up at a cricket convention
But what they'd die for

Breathe in for luck,
Breathe in so deep,
This air is blessed,
You share with me
That clever ad campaign ain't worth
The time taken from minimum wage labor
I don't care how half naked or fake she looks
She smells like dirty cash and aged paper books
So what'd she die for
Slow down Gandhi your killin'em
Slow down Gandhi your killin'em

Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember,
(Now it's whistle blower vs. the pistol holder)
Case dismissed, they'll lock you up and throw away the key witness
Justice is the whim of a judge, check his chest density
(Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember)
It leaves much room for error, and the rest left to destiny

The West Memphis 3 lost paradise
It's death penalty vs. suicidal tendencies
All I wanted was a fucking Pepsi
Institution

Making you think you're crazy is a billion dollar industry
If they could sell sanity in a bottle they'd be charging for compressed air
And marketing healthcare
They demonize welfare
Middle class eliminated, rich get richer
Till the poor get educated

But some of y'all still haven’t grown into your face
And your face doesn't quite match your head
And I'm waiting for a brain to fill the dead space that's left
You're all, "give me ethnicity or give me dreads."

Trustafundian rebel without a 'cause for alarm
Cause when push turns to shove
You jump into your forefathers arms
He's a banker, you're part of the system
Off go the dreadlocks in comes the income

The briefcase
The sickness
When the cameras start rollin'
Stay the fuck outta the picture pilgrim!

The briefcase
The sickness (Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear)
When the cameras start rollin' (So we can get some)
Slow down Gandhi, you're killin'em

Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember
Mr. Save The World, spare us the details
Save the females from losing interest
And Miss Save The Universe
(Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember)
You're a damsel in distress
Tied down to a track of isolated incidents
Generalize my disease
I need a taste of what it's like
Living off the fat of kings
I play the scab at your hunger strike
Slow down Gandhi, you're killin'em

One love, one life, one too many victims
Republicrat, Democran, one party system
Media goes in a frenzy
They're stripped of their credentials
Presidential candidates can't debate over this instrumental
Let 'em freestyle, winner takes all
When the music’s dead I'll have Ted Nugent’s head hangin' on my wall
Kill one of ours, we'll kill one of yours
With some friendly fire, that’s a funny term, like civil war

Six in the morning, police at my crib
Now my nights consists of two toothpicks and eyelids
The crucifix and vitamins, music that is pirated
New flavor food made of mutated hybrids
Uh

They tell me that it's not that bad
And it fucks you up good, but its not that bad
They hold on to these tails till it's the dog that wags
God save us all if he lets the cat out the bag

Who's the one to blame for this strain in my vocal chords?
Who can pen a hateful threat but can't hold a sword?
It's the same who complain about the global war
But can't overthrow the local joker that they voted for

They call the shots
(But they're not in the line of fire) (Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember)
I call the cops
(But they break in the line of duty)
Lets call a stop to the abuse of authority
The truth keeps callin' me, and I'ma live to tell the story

So what's the truth, quit seeking forgiveness (Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember)
You need to cut the noose, but you don't believe in scissors
You support the troops by wearing yellow ribbons?
Just bring home our motherfuckin' brothers and sisters

'Cause they don't call the shots
(Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember) (But they're in the line of fire)
I'd like to call the cops
(But they break in the line of duty)

It's time to call a stop
To the abuse of authority
The truth keeps calling me
And I'ma live to tell the story
