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
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
