Sunrise On Slaughter Beach (2022)




















Red Alert (Boss Metal Zone) lyrics - Clutch

(You're sitting watching TV
When suddenly you discover
A wasp crawling on your wrist)

I used to work for Doc Tyrell
It didn't end so well
Been misbehaving since the Tannhäusser Gate
Quit now, you won't regret
But you got to take that first step
You strike me as the type who honestly appreciates

Electromagnetic pulses in my veins
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Red alert, Boss Metal Zone
Red alert

The greatest living science fiction writer in the world
You're looking at him, yeah you're looking at him
You'd make a great companion, on a fantastic voyage
So, what do ya say? Yeah, what do ya say?

Electromagnetic pulses in my veins
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Red alert, Boss Metal Zone
Red alert

You are given a calfskin wallet on your birthday

You've been grinding nine to five
Mining just to stay alive
How many heartbeats are there left for the record?
Can you pass the Voight-Kampff test
Under emotional stress?
Are you familiar with the Roy Batty method?

Electromagnetic pulses in my veins
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Red alert, Boss Metal Zone
Red alert

Electromagnetic pulses in my veins
So many tears in the rain
Red alert, Boss Metal Zone
Red alert

Slaughter Beach lyrics - Clutch

I'm not sweating any consequences
I do what I have to do just to get on by
There's no sex appeal in guilt nor anger
Ain't it enough, ain't it enough to provide?

Economic casualties
My blue-blooded creeps
Hand in hand we walk together
Along Slaughter Beach
Maritime tragedies
You blue-blooded freaks
Hand in hand we walk together
Along Slaughter Beach

I'm not betting on wild horses
Like they do in Assateague or Pimlico
I demand to shuck my clam the old fashioned way
Under a strawberry moon, bare-handed, wearing no clothes

Economic casualties
My blue-blooded creeps
Hand in hand we walk together
Along Slaughter Beach
Maritime tragedies
You blue-blooded freaks
Hand in hand we walk together
Sunrise on Slaughter Beach

Economic casualties
My blue-blooded creeps
Hand in hand we walk together
Sunrise on Slaughter Beach
Maritime tragedies
You blue-blooded freaks
Hand in hand we walk together
Sunrise on Slaughter Beach

Sunrise on Slaughter Beach
Sunrise on Slaughter Beach
Sunrise on Slaughter Beach
Sunrise on Slaughter Beach

Mountain Of Bone lyrics - Clutch

To climb the mountain is no easy task
But it's so much harder coming down
All the torches of the party have all gone dark
Hungry mouths surround

There's no gold beneath the beast
Just a mountain of bone
The wind and the rain are the lone courtiers
A dynasty of one ascends to the throne

The names of many ancient travelers
Carved in the caverns we grind
Grow older and older with every step
Until no more are left to find

There's no gold beneath the beast
Just a pile of bones
The wind and the rain are the lone courtiers
A dynasty of one ascends to the throne

Yet here I am still rolling
A twenty sided die
Am I chaotic evil
Or lawfully good aligned?

Yet here I am still rolling
A twenty sided die
Am I chaotic evil
Or lawfully good aligned?

Yet here I am still rolling
A twenty sided die
Am I chaotic evil
Or lawfully good aligned?

Nosferatu Madre lyrics - Clutch

I was accused of witchcraft
Aboard the Mayflower ship
They threw me overboard
Ten stone of ballast chained to my legs

No stars above to guide me
No sunrise shall I see again
Cast adrift on a sea of sangre
I will exact my pound of flesh
Mira nosferatu madre

I walked all the cold Atlantic
Held fast by hex and lock
But I did rise from the waters
And split them wide open upon Plymouth Rock

No stars above to guide me
No sunrise shall I see again
Cast adrift on a sea of sangre
I will exact my pound of flesh
Mira nosferatu madre

No stars above to guide me
No sunrise shall I see again
Cast adrift on a sea of sangre
I will exact my pound of flesh
Mira nosferatu madre

Mercy Brown lyrics - Clutch

Jaundiced yellow light is flashing
Hanging above Church and Main
On the wind her perfume lingers
Likewise her Christian name
Fields of night hang close above her
The family lie in a dreamless sleep
Frost grows on the windowpanes
And the wind spins circles in the empty street

Shining white steeples
Rise from the ground
Ring all the bells you may
And brace for the kiss of Mercy Brown

By the paper mill she wanders
Singing melodies to the clouds
A fox calls but none does answer
Cross the green of hallowed ground
Quietly beyond the threshold
A pale hand on the bannister
Looks upon the sleepers there
And weeps at the memory of the way things were

Shining white steeples
Alarm the town
Ring all the bells you can
And brace for the kiss of Mercy Brown

Two lovers in the moonlight
Playing at hare and hounds
Leaves fall upon the hillside
Ruddy as the lips of young Miss Brown

Shining white steeples
Alarm the town
Ring all the bells you can
Then brace for the kiss of Mercy Brown

Shining white steeples
Dawn in the dark
Be still your beating
Your beating heart

Be still your beating heart

We Strive For Excellence lyrics - Clutch

I have a hammer, a box of nails
Two M80s' and punk sticks
My uncle's favorite Farrah Fawcett lighter
A Schwinn hurricane with BMX grips
We deliver where Knievel failed
What's a little bit of tetanus?
Pledge allegiance to the denim flag
And strive for excellence

Yes we do
We strive for excellence
Yes we do
The dinner bell ain't calling me home

I found at least a dozen two by fours
Marine grade plywood
No six million dollar men
No retakes, no Hollywood
One and done, feet off the pedals
Naive elegance
Salute the denim, light the pyro
And strive for excellence

Yes we do
We strive for excellence
Yes we do
The dinner bell ain't calling me home

You're in the cub scouts, right?
I believe I need a tourniquet
I can hear my mama calling
Hand over that snake bite kit
We deliver where Knievel failed
What's a little bit of tetanus?
Pledge allegiance to the denim flag
And strive for excellence

Yes we do
We strive for excellence
Yes we do
We strive for excellence
Yes we do
We strive for excellence
Yes we do
Yes we do
We strive for excellence

Skeletons On Mars lyrics - Clutch

Descending the ladder
Boots on the surface, triangulating command and control
No visible life signs
Lower the vehicle and the medical drones

Cold iron, blood red
Persephone, do thee wed?
Mortal nations, Olympus Mons
Add another skeleton on Mars

Anamolous signal
Strangely familiar yet not familiar at all
My god, that's impossible!
Open the airlock it's a... (inaudible)

Cold iron, blood red
Persephone, do thee wed?
Mortal nations, Olympus Mons
Add another skeleton on Mars

Or Ares by another name
Don't make a difference
Gonna end the same way

Don't make a difference
Gonna end the same way

Three Golden Horns lyrics - Clutch

Met my girl on a dinner date
Uptown movie, not back too late
But saxophones and cocktails had other plans

By Roland Kirk's three golden horns
Sol Invictus thrice reborn
Now I see the truth
Jazz music corrupts our youth

Weaving to the men's restroom
Hallucinations red and blue
These pagan rites were too much for the kid to bear

By Roland Kirk's three golden horns
Sol Invictus thrice reborn
Now I see the truth
Jazz music corrupts our youth
Turtlenecks and switchblade knives
Pointy shoes, back alley dice
Oh what's the use?
Jazz music corrupts our youth

On Slaughter Beach, it's daybreak now
My girl is nowhere to be found
Vibraphones and highballs made other plans

By Roland Kirk's three golden horns
Sol Invictus thrice reborn
They speak the truth
Jazz music corrupts our youth
Turtlenecks and switchblade knives
Business suits, back alley dice
Oh what's the use?
Jazz music destroys our youth

Jackhammer Our Names lyrics - Clutch

We march into the city wounded but sound
Showered by the praises from the unclean crowds
Inside the throne room we feel so at ease
It's as God intended and I'm sure he'd agree

We are victorious, we are young
With all the time in the world to regret what we've done
Like Adam and Eve in springtime before the fall

They'll celebrate our victory with pomp and circumstance
Our faces grace the currency, the school rooms and stamps
Holidays and avenues, boulevards and parks
Our names ring on forever, shining beacons in the dark

We are victorious, we are young
With all the time in the world to regret what we've done
Like Adam and Eve in springtime before the fall

Generations later will come to tear us down
Rip us from our pedestals then wheel us out of town
Melt us down for daggers, zeal and rage
Destroy our plazas, jackhammer our names

We are victorious, we are young
With all the time in the world to regret what we've done
Like Adam and Eve in springtime before the fall
Like Adam and Eve in springtime before the fall

Boogeyman Blues lyrics - Clutch

The wolf bay cornered
Bay cornered and bearing his teeth
The wolf was surrounded
Was surrounded by angry sheep
This time no quarter
This time we drink your tears
And I thought to myself
This is my favorite time of year

Every krampus
Is a lonesome dude
Sooner or later
All the boogeymen start singing the blues

The ram stood quiet
Stood quiet among the ewes
The lambs were astounded
Confounded and well amused
This time no tomorrow
This time we dance and cheer
Oh what a wonderful reminder
Of my favorite time of year

Every krampus
Is a lonesome dude
Sooner or later
All the boogeymen start singing the blues

The shepherd brought his flock in
To feed them and tend to their wool
The shepherd ran in horror
We are not hungry our bellies are full
This time we don't need you
This time lose the shears
Oh the magic abounds
During my favorite time of year

Every krampus
Is a lonesome dude
Sooner or later
All the boogeymen start singing the blues

Every krampus
Is a lonesome dude
Sooner or later
All the boogeymen start singing the blues

Arts & Crafts lyrics - Clutch

It's a national chain with a memorable name
Selling arts and crafts
With a cute little hustle flexing their muscle
And a knack for black market artifacts

Alizarin crimson
Magic white and
Midnight black
Once you see the happy valley
There's no going back

The cradle of civilization
Looks better in a proper frame
All smiles and matching sweaters
Hanging on the wall with collectible plates

Pazuzu's wings stretch far and wide
Above the bedazzlers
Idle hands make for devil's work
So bring on the dancing satyrs

Alizarin crimson
Magic white and
Midnight black
Once you leave the happy valley
There's no going back

The cradle of civilization
Looks better in a proper frame
All smiles and matching sweaters
Hanging on the wall with collectible plates
The cradle of civilization
Looks better in a proper frame
All smiles and matching sweaters
Hanging on the wall with collectible plates

The haboob busts the doors wide open and then
Miss Inanna comes strutting through
All decked out in seasonal wares
And a cart full of royal blue

The cradle of civilization
Looks better in a proper frame
All smiles and matching sweaters
Hanging on the wall with collectible plates
The cradle of civilization
Looks better in a proper frame
All smiles and matching sweaters
Hanging on the wall with collectible plates

Railroad Daisies lyrics - Clutch

Off to haunt the world with rage and beauty
Skipping down the tracks again
Along the promenade of blazing iron
With a crown of railroad daisies in your hair

Never should have left Ohio
Fallen in love with him
Chasing after shadows
And promises again
Barefoot through the tunnel
The light and horn
Screaming louder than the day you were born

Howling in July's holy fire
Spitting shells over the edge
While the mean Monongahela
Takes them just below the bridge

Never should have left Ohio
Fallen in love with him
Chasing after shadows
And promises again
Barefoot through the tunnel
The light and horn
Screaming louder than the day you were born

Never should have left Ohio
Gone away with him
Chasing all your shadows
His promises again
Barefoot through the tunnel
The light and horn
Screaming louder than the day you were born

Book Of Bad Decisions (2018)




















Gimme The Keys lyrics - Clutch

Squinting from blinding rays of the Sun
Deep in the heart of July
There to perform for children of corn
Whose crop stood well twelve foot high
Three knaves remained to the end of the day
We refused their vile entreats
Standing our ground we played for the ears
Between the harvester's teeth

Great Plains hardcore scenes
May not be the biggest but Lord they're mean
And though my mind has been shot to hell
The details of that night I remember well

Gravel and locust they swore to rope us
We did our best to steer straight
Trailer and hitch straight into the ditch
Praying to Jesus and the holy saints
Despite the violence, sometimes I look back
A nostalgia begins to take hold
Wisdom of sorts is found in due course
In the rows of silver and gold

Great Plains hardcore scenes
May not be the biggest but Lord they're mean
And though my mind has been shot to hell
The details of that night I remember well

Gimme the keys, they can keep the guarantee
Gimme the keys and get the hell out of Dodge

Hey man we don't got your
We don't got your SM-57
Look dude why don't you
Try some old fashioned P.M.A.?

Through bloody butchers we ran for hours
Then hours grew into years
Stalked by the fury of John Brown's eyes
And still the storm hasn't cleared
Despite the mileage sometimes I look back
A nostalgia begins to take hold
Wisdom of sorts is found of course
In rows of silver and gold

Great Plains hardcore scenes
May not be the biggest but Lord they're mean
And though my mind has been shot to hell
The details of that night I remember well

Gimme the keys, they can keep the guarantee
Gimme the keys and get the hell out of Dodge

Spirit Of '76 lyrics - Clutch

The Flyers beat the Reds fair and square
While up the coast some fled the Devil's lair
An heiress was into her irons thrown
While the family feuds exploded in our homes

Moon collapsed in the garden
Vikings looted the plains
Spirit of '76
We were such a tender age

The Mohican swore he would get organized
To clean the war forever from his mind
A farmer came with peanuts in his hand
Then wept a bit while waltzing to the band

Moon collapsed in the garden
Vikings looted the plains
Spirit of '76
We were such a tender age

Moon collapsed in the garden
Vikings looted the plains
Spirit of '76
We were such a tender age

Moon collapsed in the garden
Vikings looted the plains
Spirit of '76
We were such a tender age

Book Of Bad Decisions lyrics - Clutch

One road lead to the east
Another to the west
In a fit of desperation
In the dark I sought redress

As the clouds began to gather
Oh I wailed like a newborn babe
Newborn babe
And opened the book
Of bad decisions I have made
I have made

I walked into the station
All covered in blood
The watchman came out
"You can't be here son"

So I threw down my suitcase
Oh I wailed like a newborn babe
Newborn babe
And wrote another chapter
Of bad decisions I have made
I have made

I saw ma belle
Looking lonesome in her time
I picked up her receiver
And dropped a dime

When I heard you answer
Oh I wailed like a newborn babe
Newborn babe
And read the dedication
From the book of bad decisions
I have made
I have made

How To Shake Hands lyrics - Clutch

Are you cool?
Well I'm cool
Is everybody cool?
Well let's get hot

Grass roots
All across this great nation
And I am truly humbled
And gratefully accept the nomination

I'm gonna be President
Of the United States
First Tuesday in November
Mark it down and save the date

Live music in the White House
Strictly B.Y.O.B.
The public want to get down
It is our collective destiny

I'm gonna kiss all the babies
Maybe kiss their Mamas too
I don't need the secret service
I know how to work a room

I'm gonna be President
Of the United States
I was born to be the President
Of these United States

On the day I was born
All the nurses and doctors
"Take that boy out his crib
And put him in the Executive Office!"

First thing that I'm gonna do
Is disclose all those U.F.O.s
Put Jimi Hendrix on the 20 dollar bill
And Bill Hicks on a 5 note

Hot damn the democratic process
What a time to be alive
Oh I'm ready to give the people what they want
And what they want is straight talk and no jive

"We have exit polls coming in
Rhode Island and American Samoa
We have more results coming in
From Puerto Rico and both Dakotas
Breaking news happening right now
I believe we're ready to call it
Do you want us to call it? Yeah!
I believe we have a winner!"

Thank you very much
I couldn't have done it
I couldn't have done it without you!
Drinks on me!

Thank you very much
I couldn't have done it
I couldn't have done it without you!
Drinks on me!

First thing that I'm gonna do
Is go for a ride on a U.F.O.
Put Jimi Hendrix on the 20 dollar bill
And Bill Hicks on a 5 note

Hot damn the democratic process
What a time to be alive
Oh I'm ready to give the people what they want
And what they want is straight talk and no jive

In Walks Barbarella lyrics - Clutch

Heard you got detention three times this week
Playing with the bad kids down by the creek
When I was your age, oh I, did the same
I'll save you some trouble, boy, and try to explain

Defcon! Tractor beams! Weaponized Funk
In walks Barbarella, set to stun
Defcon! Tractor beams! Gamma ray gun
Straight out the mothership! Weaponized Funk

Let me back up 20 years or so
Before I met your mama, I was living on the road
I met a belle from the astral planes
Hopped in my seven ten, I was never quite the same

Defcon! Tractor beams! Weaponized Funk
In walks Barbarella, set to stun
Defcon! Tractor beams! Gamma ray gun
Straight out the mothership! Weaponized Funk

One last word to the wise
While we got time to kill
If the X-rays don't get ya
Then the heartbreak surely will

When it was over, all I had to show
Big bill from Motel 6 and a broken nose
From east of Needles to eternity
Space trucking, son, ain't what it used to be

Defcon! Tractor beams! Weaponized Funk
In walks Barbarella, set to stun
Defcon! Tractor beams! Gamma ray gun
Straight out the mothership! Weaponized Funk

Defcon! Tractor beams! Weaponized Funk
In walks Barbarella, set to stun
Defcon! Tractor beams! Gamma ray gun
Straight out the mothership!

Vision Quest lyrics - Clutch

I went out drinking with the reaper
And man did it get live
You could count it by the liter
It's kinda hard to quantify
Come morning he was shakin'
And he began to sob
I said, man you got to keep it together
Or you gonna be out a job

Oh pale rider, you're in need of a hella talking to
Why don't you leave me be? I got things to do
Oh pale rider, the missus has it out for you
And if she sees you here, she gonna cut you through

Three days later he came knockin'
And I was so surprised
He wasn't offerin' a coffin
He was there to socialize
I'm on a vision quest
And everybody's invited
Ain't life just the best?
It's so damn exciting!

Oh pale rider, you're in need of a hella talking to
Why don't you leave me be? I got things to do
Oh pale rider, the missus has it out for you
And if she sees you here, she gonna cut you through

Man did it get live
Man did it get live
Man did it get
Man did it get live
Man did it get
Man did it get live

Oh pale rider, you're in need of a hella talking to
Why don't you leave me be? I got things to do
Oh pale rider, the missus has it out for you
And if she sees you here, she gonna cut you through

Weird Times lyrics - Clutch

Weird times

She radiated haute couture
Fancy machinery and free literature
Yet I knew something was not quite right
Disregarding that what was there not to like?

Weird times
Maximum full blown
Weird times
Destination unknown
Weird times
Maximum full blown
Weird times
Futurism is the loneliest job

The meter got to melting, the auditor screamed
Your thetan levels are far too extreme!
She ran the numbers, there was no mistake
You don't belong here, you must be from out of state!

Weird times
Maximum full blown
Weird times
Destination unknown
Weird times
Maximum full blown
Weird times
Futurism is the loneliest job

I'm in the mood for technological innovation
The likes of which humanity has never seen
I'm in the mood for big time cosmic revelation
The likes of which would make you think more highly of me

Weird times
Maximum full blown
Weird times
Destination unknown
Weird times
Maximum full blown
Weird times
Futurism is the loneliest job

Weird times
Maximum full blown
Weird times
Destination unknown
Weird times
Maximum full blown
Weird times
Futurism is the loneliest job

Emily Dickinson lyrics - Clutch

The farmhouse was overtaken
By vine and the snake
Hooked on phantom power
The acres seemed to ache
Pursued by floating rebels
They'd take us if they could
I thought a spell of country living
Would do my spirits good

Emily Dickinson
Won't you lay your hair down low?
Staring out the windowpane
There's so much more to know
Emily Dickinson
All buttoned down in Victoria black
Let's watch the white clouds run
With the cool grass on our backs

The door mouse was mistaken
There was no quarter there
The attic and the cellar
Were but jaws of a bear
The hunter was the quarry
All tangled in the wood
I thought a spell of country living
Would do my spirits good

Emily Dickinson
Won't you lay your hair down low?
Staring out the windowpane
There's so much more to know
Emily Dickinson
All buttoned down in Victoria black
Let's watch the white clouds run
With the cool grass on our backs

Disembodied gentry
Gathered by my door
Your electrical habits
Aren't welcome here anymore

That day I left
With a locket and glove
Keepsakes lest I forget
A woman by the name of

Emily Dickinson
Won't you lay your hair down low?
Staring out the windowpane
There's so much more to know
Emily Dickinson
All buttoned down in Victoria black
Let's watch the white clouds run
With the cool grass on our backs

Emily Dickinson
Trade your lily for a rose
Run to the valley
Where the wild daisy grows
Emily Dickinson
Won't you lay your hair down low?
Staring out the windowpane
There's so much more to know

A Good Fire lyrics - Clutch

I remember hearing Sabbath for the first time
When I was thirteen years old
A large field party outside Damascus
In the grips of October's cold

Alder birch cedar boxwood pine
Who among us can deny?
We love a good fire
We love a good fire

I made eyes with a girl whose name
I can not clearly remember
Then again that was some thirty years ago
And our words have been lost to the timber

Alder birch cedar boxwood pine
Who among us can deny?
We love a good fire
We love a good fire

Like a babe in the woods
I knew right there that I'd been had
Like a lamb among the wolves
I knew right there that I'd been had

This rusted hatchet weighs
Much too heavy in the hand
And all across my countryside
No longer trees do stand
Sycamore oak and ash
Nothing in this world can ever last
Can ever last

Now a geezer's nightmare
Slowly unfolds
The sound of English rain
Pisses on the coals

Alder birch cedar boxwood pine
Who among us can deny?
We love a good fire
We love a good fire
We love a good fire
Who doesn't love a good fire?

Ghoul Wrangler lyrics - Clutch

I hear a ruckus in the back tall shadows on the wall
Mabel, won't you wake up we got lawyers in the barn
Yes we do
All the rumors they're all true
Don't worry baby I know what to do

Many years ago there was a case of legalese
Thankfully my grandad handed down those ancient ways
Yes he did
Folk magic the real deal
Folk magic hot off the grill!

Woo!
Ghoul wrangler
Shut 'em down
Ghoul wrangler
Shut 'em down
Licensed and bonded
I should get a business card
Certified
Ghoul wrangler

I sneak up to the coop and see them chewing on the bones
Spitting backwards Latin at mobile phones
Yes they were
Frothing at the mouth like rabid beasts
Diabolical to say the least

At the sight of me they bare their flashing yellow claws
Bits of old poor Chester white falling from their maws
Yes they were
Hackles rose air grew chill
Folk magic hot off the grill!

Woo!
Ghoul wrangler
Shut 'em down
Ghoul wrangler
Shut 'em down
Licensed and bonded
I should get a business card
Certified
Ghoul wrangler

Thirteen bloody litigators feasting on the hog
My god, Mabel, we got lawyers in the barn

Twelve of them dispatched and now there's one more left to go
I track his penny loafers through the freshly fallen snow
Yes I did
I found him in the old stockyard
We got different laws down on the farm

Woo!
Ghoul wrangler
Shut 'em down
Ghoul wrangler
Shut 'em down
Licensed and bonded
I should get a business card
Big time
Ghoul wrangler

Thirteen bloody litigators feasting on the hog
My god, Mabel, we got lawyers in the barn
Thirteen bloody litigators feasting on the hog
My god, Mabel, we got lawyers in the barn

H.B. Is In Control lyrics - Clutch

South side Denny's I was amazed
As I quietly surveyed the damaged
I did my best not to attract attention
Just a glass of water and a ham sandwich

Krystal came 'round one more time
And her demeanor was most concerning
She dropped the pitcher, screamed bloody murder
Then something in the kitchen started burning

Don't call the cops, don't call the fire department
Hieronymus Bosch in control
Supernatural, yeah
Hieronymus Bosch is in control

The joint erupted in a medieval melee
You know that style darkness and misery
I started thinking this is getting bubonic
And I better split before they get to splitting me

The smoke was thick and it was all confusion
The manager managed to vomit money
I got up on the counter, said you all must be tripping
If this is some kind of joke well it ain't funny

Don't call the cops, don't call the fire department
Hieronymus Bosch in control
Supernatural, yeah
Hieronymus Bosch is in control

Those of you who might suspect
I am given to exaggeration
Like them or not, the facts are facts
They're not open to interpretation

Feet first into the pandemonium
I didn't sign up for this
Feet first into the pandemonium
I didn't, I didn't sign up for this

Don't call the cops, don't call the fire department
Hieronymus Bosch in control
Supernatural, yeah
Hieronymus Bosch is in control

Don't call the fire department
Hieronymus Bosch is in control
Supernatural, yeah
Hieronymus Bosch is in control

Hot Bottom Feeder lyrics - Clutch

Never mind that stuff, they sell from Vietnam
Get it from the Chesapeake, but never from the can
Follow my directions, it's an easy recipe
Strictly by the pound, adjust accordingly

One hundred million years old
Transcendent creature
No bones about it
Hot bottom feeder

Don't bother with the lump, it won't stick together
I prefer backfin... And there's nothing wrong with special
Powdered mustard, parsley, a dab of mayonnaise
Just enough bread crumbs and one raw egg

One hundred million years old
Transcendent creature
I just can't get enough
Hot bottom feeder

Yes, indeed. Serve it up hot!
Yes, indeed. Like this

Grab a biscuit cutter and pack it till it's filled
Stick it in the reefer for a little time to chill
Butter up a skillet, fry till golden brown
Find yourself a beverage and wash it all down

One hundred million years old
Transcendent creature
No bones about it
Hot bottom feeder
One hundred million years old
Transcendent creature
I just can't get enough
Hot bottom feeder

Paper & Strife lyrics - Clutch

Reptilian oil pompadour set to kill
150 pesos ain't enough to pay these bills

Liberate the Spanish prisoner
The clock's ticking and the time grows near
If you won't maybe your neighbor will
Regional salesman of the year

Iraqi dinars by the metric ton
Robert Johnson's contract oh you know you need one

Liberate the Spanish prisoner
The clock's ticking and the time grows near
If you won't maybe your neighbor will
Regional salesman of the year
If you won't maybe your neighbor will
Regional salesman of the year

The twisted words of a grifter
Tall tales of a marginal life
Heart as dark as the inkwell
The world turns on paper and strife
Uh huh paper and strife
Uh huh paper and strife
Uh huh paper and strife
Uh huh paper and strife

You're a shining example
Of America at her best
Unlike the Joneses next door
Who are clearly raging communists

Liberate the Spanish prisoner
The clock's ticking and the time grows near
If you won't maybe your neighbor will
Regional salesman of the year
If you won't maybe your neighbor will
Regional salesman of the year

The twisted words of a grifter
Tall tales of a marginal life
Heart as dark as the inkwell
The world turns on paper and strife

Lorelei lyrics - Clutch

There's no wisdom I may give
Only my apologies
If an answer you must have
There is a cave by the sea

You'll find there a Methuselah
As windswept as the trees
Should you approach him there
I advise you do so gingerly

Lorelei trouble my water
Oh I throw myself over
Rapture of song
Lorelei sweet mooncusser
Oh my compass is spinning
And I'm so far from home

There was a time of innocence
He knew nothing of the sea
Landlocked in all directions
Riding elephants to victory
But when the war at last was over
To the circus the beast went
So he walked until the land's end
And he's been there ever since

Lorelei trouble my water
Oh I throw myself over
Rapture of song
Lorelei sweet mooncusser
Oh my compass is spinning
And I'm so far from home

Lorelei trouble my water
Oh I throw myself over
Rapture of song
Lorelei sweet mooncusser
Oh my compass is spinning
And I'm so far from home

Lord Of This World lyrics - Clutch

You're searching for your mind don't know where to start
Can't find the key to fit the lock on your heart
You think you know but you are never quite sure
Your soul is ill but you will not find a cure

Your world was made for you by someone above
But you choose evil ways instead of love
You made me master of the world where you exist
The soul I took from you was not even missed, yeah

Lord of this world
Evil possessor
Lord of this world
He's your confessor now!

You think you're innocent you've nothing to fear
You don't know me, you say, but isn't it clear?
You turn to me in all your worldly greed and pride
But will you turn to me when it's your turn to die, yeah?

Precious And Grace lyrics - Clutch

(originally by ZZ Top)

Riding top the floodway on a Friday night
The landscape's a fine and natural sight
Just cruising slow through the dark of night
With Precious and Grace everything's all right

Good God almighty we was going down slow
Yeah if we knew just where we had to go
Crying just a flying down some put out road
With Precious and Grace in my flathead Ford

So if you're out rolling late some night
Yeah and you need that supernatural delight (I'm talking to you, brother)
I know somebody's, they's just outta sight
Get with Precious and Grace, they gonna treat you right

Run, John Barleycorn, Run lyrics - Clutch

How many more times
You gonna cut me in two?
How many more times
You gonna grind me like you do?
I got a real bad feeling
They're singing in the barn
I got a real, real bad feeling
And I fear the break of dawn

How many more times are you going to do me for?

Run, John Barleycorn, run!
Now run on home
The miller's cup is empty
And his fire's going cold
Run, John Barleycorn, run!
Now run on home
He intends to cut you down
And put you to the stone

How many more years
You gonna lay me out to dry?
How many more years
You gonna sentence me to die?

And neither one's telling me the reason why

Run, John Barleycorn, run!
Now run on home
The miller's cup is empty
And his fire's going cold
Run, John Barleycorn, run!
Now run on home
He intends to cut you down
And put you to the stone

Come the dark of Winter
When you're hungry and alone
Come the long, dark of Winter
You're gonna treat me like a lord
Just like you did the year before

Run, John Barleycorn, run!
Now run on home
The miller's cup is empty
And his fire's going cold
Run, John Barleycorn, run!
Now run on home
He intends to cut you down
And put you to the stone

Run, John Barleycorn, run!
Now run on home
The miller's cup is empty
And his fire's going cold
Run, John Barleycorn, run!
Now run on home
He intends to cut you down
And put you to the stone

Steve Doocy lyrics - Clutch

Fox News channel: one part mammal
One part demon seed
Look no further, goat herder
The Sheppard's on the scene

Don't you know the tabs
Will only get you so far?
The devil may tip
But my Jesus got an open bar

Cut

Hezbollah, the love
We got you leaders on the set
Before we speak of suicide
We have a dog to pet

Don't you know the tabs
Will only get you so far?
The devil may tip
But my Jesus got an open bar

Cut

Don't you know the tabs
Will only get you so far?
The devil may tip
But my Jesus got an open bar
Don't you know the tabs
Will only get you so far?
The devil may tip
But my Jesus got an open bar

What Would A Wookie Do? lyrics - Clutch

Two oaken doors
Open to floors
Imported marble
Victorian drawers
They go betweens
Bucolic scenes
Machiavellian
And all the lesser name schemes

Greyhounds and rabbits
Go round and round
But everybody scatters
When the Hindenburg goes down
Robber-Baroness-es
Carpet-baggers-ese
But honestly speaking
Now we all got the same disease

I'm afraid the party's canceled
The servants never showed
And on the wall was penciled
A most foreboding note
Force getting ready
Man, begat too much
All the world will suffer
The Wookie's wicked clutch

The theocrats
With cricket bats
Hezbo-lot of love to give ya
Never take it back
A graver danger
You bouncing ravers
Madula-oblingata go
I'll see you all later

Hephaestus dragging
One leg behind
And when the trap is sprung
The warrior loses his mind
Assassins tripping
High on hashish
But honestly speaking
Now we all need the same relief

One day or another, kid
Our world will be gone
One day or another, kid
Our death will be done
One day or another, kid
Our world will be gone
One day

General quarters
You have your orders
Invisible free-masonry
Incoming mortars
The flyers landing
And are demanding
Keep on firing
Until the last man standing

Stock cars and habits
Go round and round
But everybody scatters
When the stock market goes down
Robber-Baronesses
Carpet-baggers-ese
But honestly speaking
Now we all got the same disease

I'm afraid the hunt's been canceled
The game never showed
And on the tree was penciled
A most foreboding note
Force getting ready
Man, begat too much
All the world will suffer
The Wookie's wicked clutch

Bottoms Up, Socrates lyrics - Clutch

They came marching down the street in robes
In the spirit of the Spanish inquisition
Guitars and trombones
Mechanical monkeys make good musicians
Street urchins, the smugglers and dingos
Dead languages and living man's lingos
Put the relics of a saint in a glass box
And march him around the block

Hangin' on the words of a mad man
Islands in the abyss
No use for the poet
When the hopeless seek no bliss

Mason jars of petroleum
You know those kids don't play
And should you ever get a hold of them
I'll tell you exactly what they'll say:
"Time we told you son about the family curse"
And when they open up the diary to gain an explanation
They find only terminal verse

Hangin' on the words of a mad man
Islands in the abyss
No use for the poet
When the hopeless seek no bliss

X-ray visions, eye in the sky
And the naked being led by the blind
So bottoms up now, socrates
Hemloc straight up goes down easy

Hangin' on the words of a mad man
Islands in the abyss
No use for the poet
When the hopeless seek no bliss

X-ray visions, eye in the sky
The naked being led by the blind
So bottoms up now, socrates
Hemlock tastes like ripple wine

X-ray visions, eye in the sky
The naked being led by the blind
So bottoms up now, socrates
Hemloc straight up goes down easy

Evil lyrics - Clutch

(originally by Howlin' Wolf)

You're a long way from home
Can't sleep at night
Grab your telephone
Something ain't right

Well that's evil
Evil is going on
And I'm just warning you brother
You better watch your happy home

Long way from home
Can't sleep at all
Feels like a mule's kicking
In your skull

Well that's evil
Evil is going on
And I'm just warning you sister
You better watch your happy home
Watch it! Watch it!

Long way from home
Can't sleep at all
Feels like another mule's kicking
In your skull

Well that's evil
Evil is going on
And I'm just warning you people
You better watch your happy home
Watch your happy, watch your happy happy home

Evil you better watch your happy home
I'm just warning you people
You better watch your happy home

Firebirds-Seattle lyrics - Clutch

Outside of Needles I nearly lost my mind
I pulled over on the shoulder
Yeah, and I was there some time
A young thing came walking
From out behind the trees
She gave me consolations
And this is what she said to me

"Firebirds! Energy weapons!
Both of these things are interesting to me
I don't care how you get them
I need them both and I need them urgently"

Yeah, I said I can get with that
Oh, I like those things too
But I don't own a Firebird
Perhaps this Datsun will do
Outside of the valley
Yeah, we got to overheating
She took off her sunglasses
And said I believe this bears repeating

"Firebirds! Energy weapons!
Both of these things are interesting to me
I don't care how you get them
I need them both and I need them urgently"

"Firebirds! Energy weapons!
Both of these things are interesting to me
I don't care how you get them
I need them both and I need them urgently"
Firebirds!

Outside of Barstow
We got to living on the lam
Sometimes doing odd jobs
And sometimes living off the land
Yeah, things went sour
And the girl, she got to packing
When I asked her why
She said "There are two things you are lacking"

"Firebirds! Energy weapons!
Both of these things are interesting to me
I don't care how you get them
I need them both and I need them urgently"

"Firebirds! Energy weapons!
Both of these things are interesting to me
I don't care how you get them
I need them both and I need them urgently"

Firebirds!

Fortunate Son lyrics - Clutch

(originally by Creedence Clearwater Revival)

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white, and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"
Oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yeah
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no

Yeah, some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
They only answer "More! More! More!"
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no lobbyist's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, one
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son
