Wrecking Ball

from Strange Vibrations by Tin Tin Can

lyrics

I was standing in the hall when that wrecking ball crashed through the wall and took Coraline out / she was dead upon arrival so we toasted our survival and gargled champagne in our mouths / and Anthony was grooming his moustache in the dining room when schrapnel caught the notches of his spine / and the blood down his back it wasn’t red, no, it was black / and I sure got a kick out of that / wait’ll I get my hands around your neck / The minister was sitting in the kitchen sucking lemons / we all lined up to watch him perform an exorcism / then a hipster apparition, a girl from West Virginia, stood up, undressed, and then kissed him / Oh, his retinas went white / yeah the minister went blind / we danced around like assholes kicking shrapnel in his eyes / until our temples turned to horns and our feet they were transformed into fetlocks and hooves / it was awful / it was good / wait’ll I get my hands around your neck / well, if hell is a condition we were certainly born with it so we might as well start digging up dirt / and if we happen to strike oil we’ll be millionaires by morning / how ‘bout that? / well, how ‘bout that? / and then Ryan he showed up in his beat up pick-up truck / and he drew an 8.6 upon the door as he came in / then he asked for our attention / religiously we listened to all of his opinions on the state of Rock n Roll bands / and then right there on the scene the tastemaker became our king / we’d always come to him before we ever started singing / if you follow in his likeness / bow down to his highness /he will bring you life / just ask Coraline - she’s fine / wait’ll I get my hands around your neck / well, if hell is a condition we were certainly born with it so we might as well start digging up dirt / and if we happen to strike oil, we’ll be millionaires by morning / how ‘bout that? / well, how ‘bout that? / and if the devil wants commission we could cut him 10 percent / as long as everything we touch keeps turning gold / and if it don’t I guess it don’t but we still got you by the throat / and we’re gonna hold you there until you choke.
