Mr. California Man laid waste with his Hollywood smile
We welcomed him with open arms and he played us like an old guitar

He played the tune of salvation and we offered him our wives,
Sons and daughters, lands and riches but the human pit never satisfied

Land and man enslaved in the name of Glory, Gold and God
Had I known he’d cause us harm I’d of killed him in the very start

I Love My Baby

I love my baby like a good boy should
But she only loves me back when she’s in the mood
She keeps me in the basement, it’s made of dirt
The foods alright but the chains, they kinda hurt

I love my baby like a good boy should
I love my baby like a good boy should
I love my baby
I love my baby

She feeds me drugs to keep me on my knees
Reaching for the floor when I should be reaching for a key
I should leave but I think I like it
She’s the only one who loves me and I know she’s right yeah
Excuse me baby; are you the anti-christ?

I love my baby like a good boy should
I love my baby like a good boy should

Grounds turnin’ red
Baby’s face in the dust
Guess I’m twice the man
I thought I was

I love my baby like a good boy should
I love my baby like a good boy should
I love my baby like a good boy
I love my baby

Thrill Seeker

Her dad don’t want her out an’ raisin’ the dead
So she kills the ones she needs to satisfy her guilty pleasures
She don’t stop
She’ll push and push and push and push don’t care if she gets caught

Aw she’s the thrill seeker
She’ll suck your blood and make a meal of ya
She’s stepping out, over the line
And goin’ head first over the side

By divine right she was born
To test the human threshold of pain
Sometimes there’s nothing much to do
When barriers will crumble from the force of boredom’s weight

Aw she’s the thrill seeker
She’ll suck your blood and make a meal of ya
She’s stepping out, over the line
And goin’ head first over the side

Over the side
Over the side
Over the side, side, side, side alright yeah
She’s a thrill seeker
A mother fuckin’ man eater

Filthy Addiction

I got a filthy infection
It’s got its hooks in my side
Contracted in my weakness I, I, I
I should’ve known that she was lying

These things that take over my body
They make me crawl along the floor

I feel the drip runnin’ down my leg
How will I pull through again?
Several times I’ve been here before
But this time’s the worst by far

These things that take over my body
They make me crawl along the floor
These things that take over my body

I got a filthy addiction
Squirming on a hook at the end of a line
Like all addictions, it betrayed me
And now my loins, they sting with fire

These things that take over my body
They make me crawl along the floor
These things that take over my body
They make me crawl along the floor

Master Of The House

I’ve got something to tell you about
Just lean a little closer so that I don’t have to shout
‘Bout a deed so vile but so close to home
Behaviour to shameful to call your own
My words so harsh you’d say I’m wrong

Here’s another sob story ‘bout love and betrayal
Another relationship doomed to fail
You had it all before you threw it away
Cause you just had to go and turn it into a game
That started with love and ended in rape

Now the rat race is at the end of its maze
Like a fallen empire, it’s seen better days
There’s something in the gears and it’s makin’ them stop
The same thing in your head tying your reasoning in knots

To meet the master of the house just step inside
She’s upstairs in bed she got her legs spread wide
She’ll give you a home if you give her a kiss
All she wants is your love but you use your fist

Watch Your Job

Hey! Watch your job
Watch your job they’re saying
Not my fucking job
To entertain these allegations

It’s a game
Game of imagination
And whose foolish mind
Do they think that they’re playing?

They say they’ve got a case I’m the one they’re gonna pin it
But I’ll be damned if they think I’m gonna wear it

So I killed a man
Under the cloak of war
Who are they to call myself
A rotten bloody murderer?

It’s a game
Game of imagination
And whose foolish mind
Do they think that they’re playing?

They say they’ve got a case I’m the one they’re gonna pin it
But I’ll be damned if they think I’m gonna wear it

Hey! Watch your job
Watch your job they’re saying
Not my fucking job
To entertain these allegations

It’s a game
Game of imagination
And whose fool am I
To include my participation?

Ain’t Worth Tryin’

I’m through
I’ve had enough of crawling out of one drain into another sewer
I’d rather choke
This shit’s thick and I don’t got the spade to shovel it

Feels like I’ve run outta options
Try to run for my life yeah
Oh I could stay here and fight it
Though I’d probably die
Yeah I’d probably die
And it aint worth tryin’

Caught up
I’m torn between. I’m sitting on the fence reading People mag
And where these people get their luck man I don’t know
Mine’s lost out there buried deep in a hole

Feels like I’ve run outta options
Try to run for my life yeah
Oh I could stay here and fight it
Though I’d probably die
Yeah I’d probably die
And it aint worth tryin’
And It aint worth tryin’

Halifax Is Burning

Fire there’s a fire, there’s a fire on Brunswick
Smells like something burnin’ in the Hyrdostone
Fire there’s a fire and they’re saying its arson
Somewhere out on the Hammonds Plains road

Halifax is burning down
Halifax is burning down

Fire there’s a fire, there’s a fire on Brunswick
Fire there’s a fire out on Gottingen too
Fire there’s a fire and they’re saying its doomsday
Wrath of God coming down the avenue

Halifax is burning down
Halifax is burning down

We supplied the fuel and we piled it high
It’s burning hot bright. Burning hot and bright
We stood and watched the flames get higher and higher
Till they’re licking the sky, yeah they’re licking the sky
We knew what’s gonna happen when it’s outta control
Now it’s outta control. Yeah we’re all gonna burn
We’re all gonna fry. We’re all gonna fry
We’re all gonna fry

Halifax is burning down
Halifax is burning down

It’s A Long Walk

The knife’s in the nail box
The knife’s in my pocket
The knife’s in my hand and it’s off like a rocket

It’s a long walk off of the top so don’t drop it
Long walk off of the top so don’t drop it
Long walk off of the top so don’t drop it
Downstairs

Downstairs, so far away
Downstairs, so far away
Downstairs, so far away
Downstairs, so far away

It’s a long walk off of the top so don’t drop it
Long walk off of the top so don’t drop it
Long walk off of the top so don’t drop it

Tripwire

Your love is real
Mine’s false
But the treasure you keep is worth the fuss
Out in the distance
You hear my call
My love is a trap babe you gonna fall

You took the bait
I laid the trap
Safe behind a wall waiting for the snap of the
Tripwire

Tripwire

Animal wild
In the grass I lie
Intensions undercover of the lover disguise
There ain’t no love in this
Game of spoils
Just another pretty face like the thousands before

You took the bait
I laid the trap
Safe behind a wall
Waiting for the snap of the
Tripwire

Tripwire

You took the bait
I laid the trap
Safe behind a wall
Waiting for the snap of the

Banshee Woman

Banshee woman
What kind of man could stand to listen
To you talking?
At conversation’s end my ears are bleeding
Your wretched laughing
‘Bout the curse you laid upon me
Banshee woman
Eyes of fire and ice in her voice will haunt me

Yeah will haunt me

Silver comb
Lying on the ground
I picked it up
The trouble I found

This cursed omen
If I had the power to have it lifted
From the clutches
Of the messenger of death I’d be delivered
My kind of woman
Not the kind to try and break you
Banshee woman
Silver hair and a wailing tongue will haunt you

Yeah will haunt you

Silver comb
Lying on the ground
I picked it up
The trouble I found
