Devil Child 02:51
Since she hobbled up outta the womb She’s been sippin' a bottle of doom But you didn’t care, you were happy just to hold her And now you’ve got yourself the child of doom Terror and pain, they know your name Work, or you’re gonna have a devil child Horror and shame, they’ll take the blame Work or you’re gonna have a devil child When she hobbled up outta the womb She gobbled up all of the room You saw her there, she was cryin' in the corner And you knew right then you had the child of doom

Waited by my phone, you never rang / Waited by mailbox in the rain Waited so long I went insane / But you’re about to know my name…. YOU TRIED TO KEEP ME OUT / But I’m a slow learner SO I’M COMING IN / I’m coming in from this weather I’M DRESSED TO KILL / Dressed to kill in red leather NOW YOU CAN ALL / Now you can all die together I’ll just slip in through this here door / Maybe join you rich swells on the dance floor Soon as I walked in y’all went insane / You must already know my name… OH LOOK AT YOU / All playing dress up together ALL IN A ROW / Two hundred pigs of a feather I’M DRESSED TO KILL/ And I’m dressed to kill in red leather SO LET’S HAVE A DRINK / Now you can all die together You know who I am and who I ain’t, I’m the patron saint of party crashers Not that it matters, You should’ve locked your windows and put away your ladders Hey lets all sit down and have a drink. You raise your glass, I’ll raise my flask Here’s to your health...now go to hell

I woke up too late I woke up too late And I missed my baby Now I’ll never be saved I’m in it now I’ll never be saved She woke up too soon She woke up too soon Her head was spinnin' with the room And now she’ll never be saved
4.
You shoulda killed me long time ago But you decided just to let me go Now I’m back at your door You shoulda killed me when you had the chance You know nobody woulda blamed you back then I put the knife in your hand You shoulda killed me long time ago, you let me go Now I’m back at your door with a plan, gonna ask for your hand I even called your old man, I left a voice mail He didn’t call me back but I tried Now I’m gonna ask for your hand You shoulda killed me a long time ago

What a terrible sound It rings in my ears like a knife to the skull What an awful fall The floor never stood a chance at all But if you ask me I blame the bottle What an awful place There’s no chance in hell I’m staying here now

Damn & Blast 03:01
I’m the runt of the litter son And you’re the doom, you’re the glitter, the Tom I know my place, it’s in the back I’m R.L. Stein, you’re Kerouac Damn and blast I pay the bills, you short the change I’m cheaper thrills for those who came God rest you, please, merry King of Spain You’re the Tallest Man, I’m Lieutenant Dan Damn you all

I wrote you that note on the table It said don’t bother waiting up tonight Meant every word of it baby Cause I ain’t never comin' home So cry but it ain’t no use baby Weep but it ain’t no use baby Holler it ain’t no use baby Cause I ain’t never comin' home I told you, girl, I ain’t your savior I told you I’d leave when the train came through Meant every word of it baby Cause I ain’t never comin' home

It seemed like everything was just OK Now what's that look upon your face? Oh baby, why the sudden change? Oh, don't tell me you've been at it again, baby. SHE'S BEEN TALKING TO HER MOTHER AGAIN; You know I just can’t win And I don’t stand a chance This happens now and then Did you just say you need some space? Well babe, I haven't seen you for seven days Is it always going to be this way? Lord, am I ever going to catch a break?
9.
Oh, you asked me what I thought of you all dressed in white I said, "I'm sorry, dear, I just don't think it's right" Baby I think that I was lying - I just needed some time 'Cause you know how to starve of what I need And you asked me what I thought of your timeline I said, "I'm sorry, dear, it just don't look like mine, no" But I think that I was lying - I just needed some time 'Cause you know how to starve of what I need Baby, you're what I need You know you are...

about

Dead Guys Duluth, Minnesota

Three guys died. Heaven and Hell didn’t want them, and Purgatory was just too Catholic, so they formed a blues rock trio stylistically akin to the White Stripes, the Black Keys, and the Black Eyed Snakes. There is no drummer, of course, because drummers go to Hell. ... more
