Hocus Focus 04:26
lyrics
buy track
When she puts her hocus focus on me You be sure I'm in jeopardy Or at least in store for some misery When shes hocus focused on me When shes hocus focused on you Good luck enjoying chicken cordon blue Your pulse will bubble while you struggle to chew When she puts that hocus focus on you That hocus focus it can smell When you been swimming the royal canal Shell jingle jangle a triangle and blow into a conch shell makin' sure you keep away from the swell Her hocus focus can hear Your breath as it trebles with fear When she grabs your horns and tries to steer Thats hocus focus for you dear Her hocus focus can feel When you try to squirm from her like an eel don't try because you'll cry when she pulls you by her Achilles heel She got you hooked by her reel Her hocus focus intercepts your every thought Every electric kilowatt Shell come in and she'll swat you while your lying on your cot If you have a plot she'll tie you into a knot Her hocus focus will forever roast Your name, your family, and your ghost Forget ever being in any kind of toast Even in your casket shell be close With her hocus focus, her hocus focus, her hocus focus

When i make my millions, ro-da-do-do The devil will still be steppn' on the heel Of my shoe with his toe When i make my millions, ro-da-do-ray There'll still be a mod with pitch forks At the foot of my driveway When i make my millions, ro-da-do-me Ill still be a prisoner In this world ill never be free When i make my millions, ro-da-do-fa Ill still be a drifter On the run from the law When i make my millions, ro-da-do-so Ill still be so lonesome That don't change with some doe When i make my millions, ro-da-do-la Ill still be self conscious And want to withdraw When i make my millions, ro-da-do-ti Ill still be so lost Lookin' for the silver key When i make my millions, ro-da-do-do The devil will still be steppin' on the heel Of my shoe with his toe

lyrics

Well theres ghosts in the wire, ma listening when I speak Oh, theres ghosts in the wire, ma listening when I do speak It feels like a snitch A coward or a freak Theres a sound neath my bed, ma I feel like I cant get down Oh theres a sound neath my bed, ma I don't want to try to get down Get this monster out of my room I don't want him around Well theres eyes in my window, ma Watching while I sleep Oh, theres eyes in the window, ma Watching while I sleep Well it might be Osiris Judging all my sheep Theres a ghoul in the closet, ma Looking to find some bones Oh, theres a ghoul in the closet, ma Trying to score some bones Well, there aint no bones round here But, if there was they should leave em' alone Theres movement in my curtain, ma And, tonight there aint no wind My curtain is a movin', ma And, tonight theres not single gust of wind I pray it aint a vampire Tryin' to get me pinned Theres a witch in the tree, ma Laughing when I cry Oh theres a witch in the tree, ma She laughs each time I cry When I ask her whats so funny, She looks back real sly and says stop bein' shy

When your clock it stops a-tickin'' And its time for you to go When your clock it stops a-tickin' Brother I want you to know If a crow is at your window Ill be sittin' by your bed Forget that crow upon your window Focus on my singing instead Don't you worry about nobody Ill keep everything in control While there tending to your body Ill tend to your soul When your days are getting numbered When your weary to your toe When your days are getting numbered Brother I want you to know Depart with a tranquil feeling Live this moment as you wish Depart with a tranquil feeling Before you flip off that switch Ill make sure the angels get it To induct you to their shoal Brother don't you fret it Ill tend to your soul Ill bring it every where with me making sure its never lost Ill bring it every where with me Until its time to hand it off I'll keep it right next to mine I'm sure theres space in there for both They'll both be there intertwined yeah, ill tend to your soul

Hard aint nothin'' mama When you done what i done See i sold my heart, just to keep my gun Hard aint nothin' sister When you've seen what I've seen I've seen myself corrupt poor people in this world that Used to call themselves clean Don't go thinkin' there aint nothin' There aint nothin' left to save Cause I've still got at least one Wigglin' toe out of the grave Hard aint nothin' brother When you heard what I heard Midnight banshee cryin' terror Cause of some trouble that i stirred This place could blow at any second And there aint no second chance No matter what you do or try, its sorta out of all our hands Don't go thinkin' there aint nothin' There aint nothin' left to save Cause I've still got at least one Wigglin' toe out of the grave Hard aint nothin' mama Hard aint nothin' sister Hard aint nothin' brother Hard aint nothin' no more Dont' go thinkin' there aint nothin' There aint nothin' left to save Cause I've still got at least one Wigglin' toe out of the grave

Since The Last Blood Moon 03:05
lyrics

Get your mojo bag With a rabbits foot Rattle snack rattle Bat wing soot Got yourself black book Brewed tea, read the leaves Flipping tarot cards Placing candles at your feet If your lookin' for salvation Don't expect it too soon Ive been toiling and waiting Since the last blood moon Prayin' up to Jesus Tiltin' your head tarred the sun When fold up all of your fingers Tightly twisting your thumbs If your lookin' for salvation Don't expect it too soon Ive been toiling and waiting Since the last blood moon You can furrow a shelter Crawl inside like a mouse Survive getting shucked by a twister Then suffocate under the house You can kill all the evil But know that more always grows Burn the forest down to a desert But still miss killing the crows If your lookin' for salvation Don't expect it too soon Ive been toiling and waiting Since the last blood moon

Ain't A Place You Can Hide 02:25
lyrics

nuclear bombs blowin' venomous air feel that fallout dust getting stuck in my hair looking for safety, lookin for a place to survive but in this whole damn world, there aint a place you can hide history books dont tell it so well see, this whole damn world is a living hell mountains of people everywhere, knock one and itl start to slide in this whole damn world, there aint a place you can hide cant go to dinner, cant see a motion film even your commute to work could be the time that you are killed you can get shot down while listening to rock music amplified in this whole damn world, there aint a place you can hide theres armies forming everywhere, they aint tied to sovereignty they just people who hate others living free it could be your neighbor, it could be a woman dressed like a bride in this whole damn world, there aint a place you can hide ideas polluting everyone, we all subscribe to some some call to not hurt anyone, others to bang a battle drum each gathering followers, getting stronger than the tide in this whole damn world, there aint a place you can hide

Book 19 Blues 03:54
lyrics

bible tells us of a man, who rides from heaven unto the land his eyes of flames, his eyes of fire, eyes that can judge your deepest desire bible tells us of a chief, who comes with a sword clenched between his teeth his name not a single mortal man knew, his name it is faithful and true bible tells us of force, sat upon an ashen horse leading a ghastly calvary, clothed in fine linen white and clean bible tells us of a man, who wages battle with an open hand against the worldly captains and kings, against the free and those tied to a string
