Ready Set Go

Ready, set, go
Ready, ready, set, go
Ready, set go!
Got a '59 Ford with suicide doors home-made
It's painted flat black, leather seats in the back that never fade
Baby when we hit the track
It's me and the devil and I ain't looking back
Because if I lose, my soul is his to trade
I look in the mirror and what do I see?
His two red eyes staring back at me
We hit that strip with the devil on our tail
I look in the mirror and what do I see?
His two red eyes staring back at me
We're going 99 but the demon's on our trail
Ready, set, go
Ready, ready, set, go
Ready, set go!
With my foot to the floor, my Ford really roars
I got a lead on the devil and he won't be racing no more
We get side by side at the finish line
I punch the gas and this race is mine
Now I'll be the drag strip devil you're looking for
So come on down and bet your soul
'Cause when I won the devil paid his toll
So if you wanna race, you'd better race to win
You look in your mirror and what do you see?
My two red eyes 'cause you're looking at me
Cause I'll be the drag strip devil you'll be racing
Ready, set, go
Ready, ready, set, go
Ready, set, go!

Knife Swap

Well I met my baby at the knife swap
When I met her, oh, my heart stopped
She got a switch blade
I got a straight razor
And then I knew that's the way love was made
She's a devil in a dress
Who's knife was best
She's my baby
She's my babe
And I met her at the swap
At the knife, at the swap
She showed me her knife and traded her life
At the swap
She's got my razor and my life
I got my baby's switchblade knife
With a flick of the switch I belonged to her
You can really hear that hellcat purr
With her hair up high
In the blink of an eye
She's my baby
She's my baby
And I met her at the swap
Chorus

Motor Mouth
04:47
|

|
Well my baby's got loose lips, running her mouth again
Screaming bloody murder and telling off her friends
When she opens her mouth it's like an alligator's smile
Bearing her fangs, this puppy's going wild
I don't mean to whine
But it happens all the time
Here she comes again
She got that motor mouth
It's always running wild
She gotta keep it in control
We're playing backseat bingo and I'm real gone
She's still talking going on and on
With my heels on fire, I'm a-cruisin' to get out
But she's a-talk, talk, talkin' and she'll talk some more so I'm leaving here right now
I don't mean to whine
But it happens every time
Here she comes again
Chorus
She's got bats in her belfry
But she's a stacked up dame
She's crazy, man
She's driving me insane
Chorus

Ouija Broad
03:15
|
|||
|
One dark and lonely night I was walking through the town
Searching for a soul to be with me
When from a store window, I did spy an eerie glow
So curious, I had to go an see
A creepy little board with an alphabet and more
I had to know how this thing worked
It will end all of your woes, and you'll never be alone
Said the spooky old voodoo shop clerk
It came as a surprise
This thing seemed quite alive
And it started to spell out a name
I went searching for a ouija broad
Until I found she'd been here all along
I went searching for a ouija broad
My voodoo doll from the great beyond
I placed my shaky hands on the board and it began
To move as if under a spell
Before I could turn back, it was done it's ghoulish task
And had summoned up a spirit from hell
The lights in my house all suddenly went out
And I could hear her calling my name
So I questioned her some more, there on my ouija board
I waited for it to move again
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
I felt a sudden chill and the ouija board was still
When she began to materialize
Her hair was long and grey and her skin rotting away
And a red glow shone from her eyes
I waited for some time then she placed her hand in mine
Straight back to hell I was led
I felt right at home because I'd never be alone
With my ouija broad raised from the dead
Pre-Chorus
Chorus

Blushing Bride

|
Well I had a blushing bride
She'd always been by my side
But this is the tale
When tragedy befell
For tonight my blushing bride died
It was the night we were out on the town
She asked me to show her around
We went to the park
That's when things got dark
And it's when she was shot to the ground
I leaned in for a kiss
The sound of his footsteps I missed
With a bullet to her back
He was on the attack
And that's when her last breath escaped her lips
It was the night my baby died
She was shot right in front of my eyes
With her blood on my face
It was all that I could taste
I couldn't save her if I tried
With the gun pointed to my head
The killer smiled and he said,
"Your baby's heart is mine
Now that I took her life
And I'll leave you wishing you were dead"
I leaned in for a kiss
The sound of his footsteps I missed
With a bullet to her back
He was one the attack
And that's when her last breath escaped her lips
It was the night my baby died
She was shot right in front of my eyes
With her blood on my face
It was all that I could taste
I couldn't save her if I tried

Shakin'

I've got a knocking in my knees, baby
And I just can't seem to stop
I've got a knocking in my knees, baby
They're shaking to the rhythm bop
Well they're swinging to the music, baby, 1, 2, 3
Now my whole body's shaking baby, yes-sir-ree
But I can't stop shaking when you're standing right next to me
I'm shaking all over (shaking all over)
I'm shaking all over (shaking all over)
I've got a shaking in my bones
From my head down to my toes
I just don't know what to do
'Cause I can't help but shake around you
