First we get some surgery Lose the kids, then our identities But one thing I know for a fact Moustache stays right where it's at REO Speedwagon, Kansas to Boston My ankle bracelet, already gone and lost it Them yellow jackets keep the tired man from slacking Stole my Camaro, primer gray Took my suitcase, all my pay Ain't got no taillights, grill full of fur How could you do this to me, man, so close to being cured? We should get together and talk it over At the Detroiter Delaware Destroyers, rocking with Dokken You front the money and I'll do all the talking Them Yellowjackets keep the tired man from slacking Stole my Camaro, primer gray Took my suitcase, all my pay Ain't got no taillights, grill full of fur How could you do this to me, man, so close to being cured? Come a little closer honey, I won't bite ya One more lager and I might learn to like ya Stole my Camaro, primer gray Took my suitcase, all my pay Ain't got no taillights, grill full of fur How could you do this to me, man, so close to being cured?

Every day, I wake up We drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN Every day, I wake up To a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in Lobsterbacks attack the town again Wrap all my things in aluminum Beams of darkness streak across the sky Pink rays from the ancient satellite Every time I look out my window Same three dogs looking back at me Every time I open my windows Cranes fly in to terrorize me The power of the Holy Ghost (woof, woof, woof) The power of the Holy Ghost Shadow of the New Praetorian Tipping cows in fields Elysian Saturnalia for all you have The seven habits of the highly infected calf Swan diving off the tongues of crippled giants International Business Machine Choking on bits of barley bread crumbs Oh, this burning beard, I have come undone Oh, this burning beard, I have come undone It's just as I've feared I have, I have come undone Bugger, bugger, bugger dumb the last of academe Occam's razor makes the cutting clean Shaven like a banker, Lilac Vegetal. Break the glass ceiling and golden parachute on down The power of the Holy Ghost comes to town Remove the shadow of the New Praetorian Tipping cows in fields Elysian Saturnalia for all you have The seven habits of the highly infected calf The seven habits of the highly infected calf

Will you be entertained by beast and knives? Vital mentalisms will blow your minds! Cthulhu's red-headed stepchild, quite the precocious babe We like to keep it on the DL because our clientele prefers it that way The seven-legged sow will see you to the after-show Don't you think the candelabra gives a pleasant glow? Now, may I present to you the basilisk? Please don your goggles if you wish to resist From the fiery depths of the planet's core The never-sleeping for-want-of-eating unholy stench of the manticore Produce your access pass, no photographs, please Some of our guests are, how shall I say? Hyperbolic V.I.P There is a velvet room for the discriminating pack Celebrities and tentacles regard the beast with two backs The seven-legged sow will see you to the after-show Don't you think the candelabra gives a pleasant glow? Paparazzi! Worldwide video debut! Paparazzi! Worldwide video debut! Paparazzi! Worldwide video debut! Paparazzi! Worldwide video debut! And just when you thought it could get no stranger May I present the semblance of a Scandinavian doppelgänger From the frozen depths of a forgotten fjord The never-sleeping for-want-of-eating unholy stench of the manticore

After defying the grip of the hangman's noose And recovering my cognizance Spun the compass North by Northwest And took liberty out for a long slow dance Took a good look around, what did I see? A big red tent and people coming in like the tide of the sea I ducked in to catch the shade, preacher jump up, all ablaze They say this year rock is coming back, Jack White gnashing teeth like wolves in the pack Carnivorous, no mercy, hon There's plenty here for everyone, so come get you some! 10,000 witnesses, show 'em how it's done, son Fistful of cottonmouth, rock that podium Walk on the ashes, no half-stepping, kid Their fans are flashing in expectation Alright now, alright now Alright now, alright, alright, alright, alright They say this year rock is coming back, Jack White gnashing teeth like wolves in the pack Carnivorous, no mercy, son There’s plenty here for everyone, so come get you some! While living on the lam and all cut loose Number of the Saints march on in Gonna find my executioners And show 'em exactly what it means to live 10,000 witnesses, show 'em how it's done, son Fistful of cottonmouth, rock that podium Walk on the ashes, no half-stepping, kid Their fans are flashing in expectation Alright now, alright now Alright now, alright, alright, alright, alright They say this year rock is coming back, Jack White gnashing teeth like wolves in the pack Carnivorous, no mercy, son There’s plenty here for everyone, so come get you some! They say this year rock is coming back, Jack White gnashing teeth like wolves in the pack Carnivorous, no mercy, son There’s plenty here for everyone, so come get you some!

Above, there is no ending For the vodka spinning Mir All that is is passing And now is never here So keep on raging You frenzied pioneers No time for the wringing of hands Strange faced ambassadors, strike up the band Bust out that Dom Perignon Johnnie Walker Red on the fairway lawn Remember tripping on the Fourth of July? Exploding octopuses in disguise? They picked you up and then they never let you down Everyone's forgiven in the Land of Pleasant Living now Yuri Garagin sends His kindest regards How those Yankees doing? Still rock and roll and fancy cars? But onto pressing matters Such as the gluttony of the starving stars No time for the wringing of hands Strange faced ambassadors, strike up the band Bust out that Dom Perignon Johnnie Walker Red on the fairway lawn Remember tripping on the Fourth of July? Exploding octopuses in disguise? They picked you up and then they never let you down Everyone’s forgiven in the Land of Pleasant Living now They picked you up and then they never let you down Everyone’s forgiven in the Land of Pleasant Living now
