Cultosaurus Erectus

I have this feeling that my luck is none too good

This sword here at my side don't act the way it should

Keeps calling me its master, but I feel like its slave

Hauling me faster and faster to an early, early grave

And it howls!  It howls like hell!

 

I'm told it's my duty to fight against the law

That wizardry's my trade and I was born to wade through gore

I just want to be a lover, not a red-eyed screaming ghoul

I wish it'd picked another to be its killing tool

 

Black Blade, Black Blade

Forged a billion years ago

Black Blade, Black Blade

Killing so its power can grow

 

It's death from the beginning to the end of time

And I'm the cosmic champion and I hold a mystic sign

And the whole world's dying and the burden's mine

And the black sword keeps on killing 'til the end of time

 

Black Blade, Black Blade

Bringing chaos to the world we know

Black Blade, Black Blade

And it's using me to kill my friends

Black Blade, Black Blade

Getting stronger so the world will end

Black Blade, Black Blade

Forcing my mind to bend and bend

 

I am the Black Blade

Forged a million billion years ago

My cosmic soul it goes on for eternity

Carving out destiny

Bringing in the Lords of Chaos

Bringing up the Beasts of Hades

Sucking out the souls of heroes

Laying waste to knights and ladies

My master is my slave

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

You poor fucking humans

Keep goin' getting higher

New worlds waiting in the sky

Escape the feasting and the hunger

Not the monsters in our minds



Got our hands on a ship 

And stole away into the night

The four of us and Pasha dear

She to steer and we to fight



Fed up with rules and regulations

No more laughter left on Earth

Outer Space our one salvation

May God help us in our search



We fled so fast that we grew younger

Put the ship on cruise control

We all did our best with Pasha

But not as good as good ol' Joe



Monsters, monsters, monsters.....In the night

Monsters, monsters, monsters.....In black and white

Monsters, monsters, monsters.....Out of control

Monsters, monsters, monsters.....When you're alone

Monsters, monsters, monsters.....Feed on themselves

Monsters, monsters, monsters.....On the road to hell



Love never should have entered

It was never in the plan

We were finally going to have her

And let Joe be damned!



Joe awoke from a stupor

It was clear something was wrong

He rushed in and found us with her

And in his rage he aimed his gun



One shot and it was over

Pasha smiled and then was gone...

Blood of bat, tail of newt

Wing of metal, bone of steel

Vial of health, flask of pain

Staff of life or poison rain

 

If he really thinks we're the devil

Then let's send him to hell

 

Fast food, fast cars

Fast women, movie stars

Time of trouble, time of trial

Turn to Memphis, pray awhile

 

If he really thinks we're the devil

Then let's send him to hell

 

Anxious mothers, bums in the street

Jackals in waistcoats, men in sheets

Purple mountains, waves of grain

Grace of God, thy will be done

 

If he really thinks we're the devil

Then let's send him to hell

You said you'd be here at a quarter to five

I didn't know if you were dead or alive

How long you think that I can sharpen my knife

I've got better things to do with my life

 

It's almost the deadline

Don't miss the deadline, darling

When all your bad dreams will come true



Don't miss the deadline

It's almost the deadline, darling

I wouldn't want it to happen to you



Phil screamed at him, and he hung up the phone

I wonder if he ever felt more alone

He never finished his coffee that night

The photo they showed David was a terrible sight



He missed the deadline

He passed the deadline, darling

And I believe that somehow he knew



He crossed the deadline

He passed the deadline, darling

There wasn't a thing anybody could do

 

Listen my darling, now, don't play with fire

You find a way to balance faith and desire

 

It's almost the deadline

Don't miss the deadline darling

Consequences are easily misconstrued



Don't miss the deadline

It's almost the deadline, darling

I couldn't live if it happened to you

In a dark horse town, in the middle of the west

Where Friday takes so long to arrive

Johnny wakes up dreaming turns on the radio

The he jumps up plays his guitar in the mirror

Starts his day with a rock and roll pose

Tonight's the night that Susie and he 

Are going to a rock and roll show



Tonight!  I'm gonna see some rock and roll!

Yeah, my favorite group is playing!

Tonight!  I'm gonna see some rock and roll!



Well it's showtime and he's caught up in the crowd

He hates the crush but he loves the music loud 

He reaches out and Susie's disappeared,

Now Johnny's standing on a corner after the show

Looking for his Susie dear

But there goes his Susie - in the band's limousine!

Yeah, well that's the way it goes at these rock and roll shows



That's the way it goes - it's rock and roll

That's the way it goes - it's rock and roll



Now Susie's gone, and Johnny hears the thunder

As he rolls another number and he counts

He counts the times he's felt himself to be the hero

'Cause ever since he was a boy

He's heard about adventure

As he looks into the mirror now he knows

He must be the star and play guitar like thunder

Find Susie at his rock and roll show



Boy, if I only had a good guitar and a big amp

Boy, it wouldn't be somebody else taking my girl away...tell ya

I know what I should do...I'll put an ad in the paper

Get a few other guys who want to play as much as I do

Tell ya, I ain't playin' no surf music

I'm gonna play some heavy music

I'm gonna play bad

I'm gonna play loud

I know just what I want it to sound like

It's gonna sound like...

It's gonna sound like...



This is Don Kirshner

And tonight on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert

A new phenomenon in the music world

With six million albums to his credit in just two short years

My good friend, here's Johnny!



Now Johnny became a legend in his time

Found it easier to live in pain

Half a hero in a hard-hearted game

Now it's showtime and he's caught up in the flow

He hates the rush but he needs the music so

Still he reaches out but Susie's disappeared

Well that's the way it goes at these rock and roll shows



It's rock and roll

That's the way it goes - It's rock and roll

Sometimes it feels like you can't get enough

My buddies and me keep looking for the stuff

To make us feel the blood rushing through our veins

Just to keep on living is bound to be a strain



We're hungry boys!

We're hungry boys!

We're hungry boys!

We're hungry boys!

Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry boys!



Friday night we take off heading for the city

To dance with the lady from the white snow country

And if she takes us home and we get a little love

That's something can't get enough of



We're hungry boys!

We're hungry boys!

We're hungry boys!

We're hungry boys!

Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry boys!



Now look at Louie he's really got the need

Valerie's got the needle but she always makes him plead

Louie was the one who really brought the stuff to town

But the cops moved in and shot the operation down



That's why we're hungry boys!

That's why we're hungry boys!

That's why we're hungry boys!

That's why we're hungry boys!

Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry boys!

From the dust I rose on high

Thunder cloud in a two-lane sky

From the world I did rebel

A fallen angel



Highway lust was in my blood 

No girl could ever take my love

Cold and cruel and then I fell

A fallen angel



A girl so strange I lost my head

Lost it all got left for dead

I curse the day now I'm just a shell

A fallen angel



Gonna rise up from hell

I'm the fallen angel



When the brink of ruin lies

Upon the world angels shall rise

To lead the fallen now remember world

A fallen angel



Gonna rise up from hell

Gonna rise up from hell

Gonna rise up from hell

I'm the fallen angel

I am gripped by what I cannot tell

Have I slipped or have I merely fell

I feel gypped my senses telling lies

I've been stiffed by serpent's soundless cries

 

Up in the hills

An apparition

Filling me 

With superstition

A fiery night the night that I saw,

The night that I saw

The night that I saw

Lips         Lips

Lips in the hills    in the hills

Lips         Lips

Lips in the hills

In the hills

 

I'm so flipped snared by hidden claws

I've been t-tripped I'm crawling on all fours

I've been stripped the insulation's gone

Wish I'd slept to waking in the morn

 

Up in the sky

Beyond the chasm

My eyes behold

A rare phantasm

The Godless night, the night that I saw

The night that I saw

The night that I saw

Lips         Lips

Lips in the hills    in the hills

Lips         Lips

Lips in the hills

In the hills

 

I am gripped by what I cannot tell

Have I slipped or have I merely fell

I feel gypped my senses telling lies

I've been stiffed by serpent's soundless cries

 

Up in the hills

An appariton

Filling me

With superstition

The Godless night

The night that I saw

The night that I saw

The night that I saw

Lips         Lips

Lips in the hills    in the hills

Lips         Lips

Lips in the hills

In the hills

There was no light shining through the window

As Margaret lie in bed

She was wearing cotton pajamas

A crucifix above her head

She awoke from a dream

Her eyes were open

Her lips were moving

In the dark



Speak to me in many voices

Make them all sound like one

Let me see your sacred mysteries

Reveal to me the unknown tongue

Reveal to me the unknown tongue



She put her hands upon her breasts

And they were small and hard and young

And everywhere she touched she felt a fire

Waiting for the answer that must surely come

Is this the way to love?

Or is this just the way to die?



Speak to me in many voices

Make them all sound like one

Let me see your sacred mysteries

Reveal to me the unknown tongue

Reveal to me the unknown tongue



Then she took her father's razor

And watched it cut into her palm

She put her hand up to her mouth 

To taste the blood so holy and warm

She got up in the morning

Put on her dress, and patent leather shoes

Ate her cereal and kissed her mother

Caught the bus and went to school



Speak to me in many voices

Make them all sound like one

Let me see your sacred mysteries

Reveal to me the unknown tongue

Reveal to me the unknown tongue
