mad machine spinnin worm in a wheel

rotating madhouse strobe on the wall
melting mirrors distorting the fall
chorus:
rotoriculous spinner of death
shaken my head and stolen my breath
rotoriculous spinner of life

rolling backwards on a serpent mile
millions of strangers caught in its guile
plead the fifth of insanity
sinister railway of mockery yeah

screams cut like razors to the quick
I told you before, you'll never escape

I’m a cold-blooded killer
my soul is ripped and torn
got the black heart of texas
I’ve got the devil’s horns
cuz I’ve spent my life to bring you harm
drank your blood to keep me warm
moon was full when I was born
I’m comin home, it won’t be long
chorus:
there’s a killer in texas
a killer in texas
there’s killer on the rails
I’m a hell raisin outlaw
out here stealin lives
killed a man for starin
by cuttin out his eyes
cuz I started life in evil’s hands
no way in hell I had a chance
you glorify the deeds I did
forgot about the soul I had to give
train keeps on rollin
my life is ever blowin
like dust across the lone star state
drink one more drink yeah
to wash down our sins
cuz nightfall has come and gone again
I’m a cold-blooded killer
I’m always on the run
just look at me mother
ain’t you proud of your son?
cuz I’ve spent my life to bring you harm
drank your blood to keep me warm
moon was full when I was born

The Burning
05:05
|

|
never did hear what you say
I don’t need it anyway
never could see what you saw
they wouldn’t suspect love at all
now I’m on fire and you’re on your way
like human candles lit to burn away
midnight rises and here we are
you scratch at my soul
but I’m so far gone
chorus:
I don’t want no one
I don’t need no one
I take no lovers in my bad
I don’t want no one
I don’t need no one
the flames of fire burn down to the end
you may cry and you may beg
spit on the flame that's in my head
you may curse me I don’t care
I’ll show you paradise I swear
now I’m burning the cold you embrace
we always take more than we gave
like seas that eat their pieces of eight
open, swallow, lock you away
I am exploding
I am consumed
by the fire that I feel for you
like a ghost without fame or fortune
to love and to hold
to cherish to torture

The Worm
04:05
|
|||
|
belly up to the bar and give me shot of your best stuff
cuz this dust in my throat is turning to brick
make it some of that mexican mojo
that you’ve got hidden there down below
I can hear him callin
I can hear him beg
drink me like the water from this desert land
I don’t need no chaser
I don’t need no lime
just tip the glass and let that motherf***er fly
glass in one hand flesh in the other
queen of the night on the day of the dead
let’s raise the bottle and wager a boast
who gets to have this heavenly host
chorus:
worm
I look out across the bar’s hollow gut
rafters climb the walls like rib bones
sultry dancers move like cobras to the sounds of a skeleton band
I can hear him whisper
I can hear him call
every poker player in this dirty hall
he’s the garden viper
he’s the mongrel’s teeth
hair of the dog baby is all you need
cards in one hand glass in the other
drink up tomorrow we might be dead
god’s little children howlin like ghosts
come to wet their grave-thirsty throats
remember the worm the promise he keeps
bullfighters die and women weep
break out the bottle and I’ll show you what I mean
sell your soul for smoke and a drink
place your little lips around the neck
swallow the worm baby I’m your man

Midnight Train

on a midnight train
gonna leave tonight
gonna roll right outta town
like a thunder blast
like a new year’s bash
gonna make a demon sound
on a violent urge
just watch me purge
all the track I’m wolfin down
I’m outta control
like the hot wind blow
hear me fire another round
chorus:
well there ain’t shit you can do
when I steam-roll right over you
I’m huffin I’m puffin
I’m stoppin for nothin
you won’t stand in my way
I’m on a midnight train
I’m on a midnight train
I’m on a midnight train
my coal is black
my heart is tempered steel
gotta an iron lung
and some time to burn
with the motion of my wheels
movin down the rail
like a bat from hell
my wings are open wide
I’m a man possessed
locomotive breath
no stops tonight

Gunslinger
03:16
|
|||
|
it was a lonely day in hell that I met you
soul searching for the light of day
I heard a voice in the devil's darkness
I saw a grinnin bird of prey
you cleared your leather and the rain came down
they had it comin some would say
chorus:
gunslinger - the red sky is fallin
gunslinger - the chains of your soul
gunslinger - we all meet our maker
you gunned those zombies down
her eyes were two twin silver dollar moons
they burned from heaven in your song
she blew away just like a dirge in the desert
you closed your eyes then she’s gone
you begged the shadows please release her
they just laughed and crawled away
you’ll drift eternal til you find her
the world has long since moved away
you filled the grave with two dark angels
for what they did they had to pay

Death of Jonah Hex
03:38
|
|||
|
a dusty hollow drifter was lyin in the bed
there was dirty water at your feet an angel at your head
there was devils on each side of you with bottles in their hands
the master of the double irons would no doubt soon be dead
it started with a dealer and a deck of fifty-one
lone star beer, cuervo gold, two killers and their guns
darkness was the witness it crept upon the town
you crossed some f**kin stranger with horns beneath his crown
no mortal could have beat you no fight you ever lost
but now they'll take you from this place and stick you in a box
at the death bed of jonah hex we'll kneel and say a prayer
as the ghosts are rattling at the door and the devil’s in the chair
you remember that foul evenin when you heard the banshees moan
the lousy drunken bastards singin billy in the bowl
they took you up to midnight mass and left you with a lurch
you dropped a quarter on the plate and your blood it filled the church
it must have been a bullet whose whose silver tip was honed
shoot right down into the heart and shatter every bone
at the death bed of jonah hex we'll kneel and say a prayer
as the ghosts are rattling at the door and the devil’s in the chair
up at the gates of heaven your voice it became a shout
they wouldn't give you service so you kicked the f**kin windows out
they shoved you back into the street they kicked you in the brains
sent you away to hell where they said you should remain
at the death bed of jonah hex we'll kneel and say a prayer

Running From the Sun
04:39
|
|||
|
she came without a kiss
blood stains upon her wrists
so cold
she said take me home
her dress fell to the floor
come close my virgin whore
take it slow
the darkness grows
I am the nameless
eternal pain prince
I am the day’s forgotten one
chorus:
running from the sun
morning flame it burns in her
a price for love at every turn
she said
I think I’m dead
now I take this dying bride
on eternal nightwing ride
she flies
away from life
I am the darkest
lover’s secret
I am the snake’s scarlet tongue
I am your prince of pain
soon I will be your everything
thrust you inside out
steal the words from in your mouth
in darkness we are one
hidden from the sun
where we listen to them wail
as I take you away from your yellow hell
running from the sun

Since 1999, Ghoultown has delivered their unique brand of spaghetti-western infused rock across the musical badlands.
