Trail of Dead B-Side Lyrics
 
Back in New York City
The Porpoise Song
Blood Rites


>> Return to Lyrics Archive

Back in New York City

I see faces and traces of home
Back in New York City, uh huh

So you think I'm a tough kid?
Is that what you heard?

trail of dead b-sides

Well I like to see some action
'Cause it gets into my blood
They call me the trail-blazer
Rael electric razor
The pitcher in the chain gang
We don't believe in pain
'Cause you're only as strong
Yes you're only as strong
As the weakest link in the chain
They got me out of Pontiac
When I was just seventeen
I had to get it out of me
If you know what I mean, what I mean

You say I must be crazy
'Cause I don't care who I hit, who I hit
Hello it's me that's hitting out
And I'm not full of shit
I don't care who I hurt
I don't care who I do wrong
This is your mess that I'm stuck in
And I really don't belong
When you filled my bottles
Up high with gasoline
You can tell by the night fires
Where Rael has been, has been

As I cuddled the porcupine
He said that I had none to blame, but me
Held my heart, deep in prayer
Time to shave, shave it off, it off
No time for romantic escape
When your fluffy head is ready for rape
Off we go

You're sitting in your comfort
You don't believe I'm real,
When you cannot buy protection
From the way that I feel
You progressive hypocrites
Hand out your trash
But it was mine in the first place
So I'll burn it to ash
And I've tasted all the strongest meats
And laid them down in colored sheets
Laid them down in colored sheets
Who needs illusion of love and affection
When you're walking the streets
With your mainline connection
Connection

As I cuddle the porcupine
He said that I had none to blame, but me
Held my heart, deep in prayer
Time to shave, shave it off, it off
No time for romantic escape,
When your fluffy head is ready for rape
No time

The Porpoise Song

My, my the clock in the sky is pounding away
There's so much to say
A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice
An image cannot rejoice

Wanting to be, to see and to hear
Crying to the sky

The porpoise is laughing good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

Click, clack
Riding on the back of a giraffe is a laugh for a while
The ego sings of castles and kings and things
That go with a life of style

Wanting to feel, to know what is real
Living is a lie

The porpoise is waving good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

Blood Rites

You wanna fight?
You wanna scream?
Knowing this is all a dream
Because all you see is blood

You're in fear
You're in denial
You better take care
Because all you see is blood rites

You look into the mirror
Then you step into the mirror
Then you falling through the mirror
All is blind
It's blinding your life

This fear is going after me
So bright I can barely see
Is this all just in my head
I look around and see that
Everything is turning red

You wanna fight?
You wanna scream?
Knowing this is all a dream
Because all you see is blood
