POLKADOT CADAVER LYRICS

1. Haunted Holiday

Riding on a train that's a future runaway
Sleepin' in the desert on a haunted holiday
And now you're miles behind me
Just like the setting sun

Is that the best that you can do?
Who needs a death wish, when all I want is you?

If this is all a dream then don't bother waking me
Just let me sleep in this comfortable coma
And as you're standing in the sun
I'll be the ghost just hiding in the shadow

Is that the best that you can do?
Who needs a death wish, when all I want is you?
There's nothing more that we can do
Than listen to the rain, while staring a the moon

Where do we go from here on this desolate highway so far away from home?
Here we go again, chasing a ghost on a haunted holiday
Blistered from the sun, you are venomous and I know to stay away
Grains of sand are slipping through my hand as the moments pass away

2. A Wolf In Jesus Skin

Do you remember on the day
We took you down off of the cross
And shot your ashes into space?
Oh what a waste of time to believe,
You would ever come back to life

The resurrections were all faked,
As the earth trembled and quaked
And all the stars fell from the sky
As all the Pagans began to smile
And sigh...

You remind me of a wolf in Jesus skin
I think it's safe to say the drugs are kicking in
As you begin to howl under the Baltimore moon
As you begin to shape shift into a Christ-like cartoon

Come sink your teeth deep inside
This wet and elegant bride
Give her the time of her life
Then turn and leave her to die
The devil is so en vogue [x4]

Well I remember
When all the idiots and whores,
They stood tall like matadors
On the eve of the conviction
In a gruesome crucifixion
And through the hourglass of time
Hollow futures will unwind
Into the ghosts that haunt the past
But it never seems to last

I see you standing there,
Your hands running through your hair
Bleeding on the countryside
Underneath the bright red sky

It's warm inside your broken heart
I know that I never want to leave
The sweetest sting of pains unlike anything I've ever felt before
Seconds before the gunshot blasts ignites straight into your head
Save the last dance for your dying bride
Until the horsemen drag you away

Come sink your teeth deep inside
This wet and elegant bride
Give her the time of her life
Then turn and leave her to die
The devil is so en vogue [x4]

You remind me of a wolf in Jesus skin
I think it's safe to say the drugs are kicking in
As you begin to howl under a Baltimore moon
As you begin to shape shift into a Christ-like cartoon

3. Purgatory Dance Party

The strobe lights your eyes
As the DJ is hung up and crucified
And there you are in all your innocence
With your back against the wall
Breaking hearts like commandments

I don't mind waiting for you
There's blood on the dance floor
Aww now what are you gonna do?
I don't mind lying for you
About the bodies in the backyard

Satan,
Go put on your blue dress, honey, and let's do the tango
Jesus,
Go put on some Elvis, baby, and let's do the cha cha
Satan,
Let's toast to the Armageddon, you know that it's all you
Ghandi,
Go pour us a couple whiskeys, you know you my nigga

I think I've seen you on TV
Where you're selling the end of the world
You seem harmless enough to me
As my eyes glaze over into medicated sleep

I don't mind waiting for you
There's blood on the dance floor
Aww now what are you gonna do?
I don't mind lying for you
About the bodies in the backyard

Satan,
Go put on your blue dress, honey, and let's do the tango
Jesus,
Go put on some Elvis, baby, and let's do the cha cha
Satan,
Let's toast to the Armageddon, you know that it's all you
Ghandi,
Go pour us a couple whiskeys, you know you my nigga!

Thank you doctor for these wonderful pills,
I'm feeling so much different now
All suicidal thoughts are gone
And my new middle name is now 'Optimistic'

Just as the night fades into day mourning becomes you
As your worst nightmares come true
What will you do now that no one wants you
And your wildest dreams are all dying on your birthday?
I want a front row seat to your technicolor funeral
I can't stop smiling as they're lowering your body into the ground

(I don't mind waiting for you, there's blood on the dance floor
Aww now what are you gonna do?
I don't mind lying for you about the bodies in the backyard
Aww now what are you gonna do?)

Thank you doctor for these wonderful pills,
I'm feeling so much different now
All suicidal thoughts are gone
And my new middle name is now 'Optimistic'

Satan,
Go put on your blue dress, honey, and let's do the tango
Jesus,
Go put on some Elvis, baby, and let's do the cha cha
Satan,
Let's toast to the Armageddon, you know that it's all you
Ghandi,
Go pour us a couple whiskeys, you know you my nigga!

4. Deathwish

She likes to cut herself
Until she doesn't recognize
Her face in the mirror
She's walking evidence
At the scene of the crime
She's the hollow and belligerent witness

You belong right here, baby,
Sitting in the electric chair
We'll flip the switches that take you to your burning home:
A haunted castle of Brimstone

Heartbreak in the whites of your eyes,
You pupils bleeding as you cry
Sirens scream at the moonlight
Because the wolf is on the loose tonight

You belong right here, baby,
Sitting in the electric chair
We'll flip the switches that take you to your burning home:
A haunted castle of Brimstone
I know you've got a death wish, honey,
Protruding like a broken bone
Shot from a cannon, gliding on the dance floor,
Smelling of menthols and Coppertone

Everyone's trying to live forever
But you've got your own agenda,
That's what I like about you
You might not be here tomorrow

Through the champagne glass your face looks just like a violent mime
Behind the prison bars your last meal is a bitter pill
One foot in the grave and your head inside the lion's mouth
Time keeps on tickin', they keep on laughing at you, laughing at you
But you know exactly what you want
And now you're gonna get it!
A pistol whip off a loaded gun
You arrived like a bullet in a drive-by

Everyone's trying to live forever
But you've got your own agenda,
That's what I like about you
You might not be here tomorrow

You belong right here, baby,
Sitting in the electric chair
We'll flip the switches that take you to your burning home:
A haunted castle of Brimstone
I know you've got a death wish, honey,
Protruding like a broken bone
Shot from a cannon, gliding on the dance floor,
Smelling of menthols and Coppertone

5. Phantom Limb

I don't know how,
I don't know how, but they've found me
It's only a matter of time,
Before I'm hanging by a light post in the center of town
Along with my family

We'll drink to the dead now, just ghosts in the war fields
Eat bread as the body of a god make believe
These sticks and these stones will break hearts and split bones
Peace of mind only comes when you realize...

You can't chase away all your demons now
With withered and broken legs...
As your crippled sanity
Swings like a pendulum,
Hanging like a phantom limb

I don't know why,
I don't know why you ever loved me,
Such a low, down right, pitiful fool
Look at you now,
Hanging by a thread
Under a full moon

We'll drink to the dead as we gulp down the blood
We'll chase it with whiskey and swallow the floods
That wash away souls of which I can't forgive
That hover like a phantom limb

You can't chase away all your demons now
With withered and broken legs...
As your crippled sanity
Swings like a pendulum,
Hanging like a phantom limb

Phantom hovering silently,
hanging like the guilty
[x2]
Phantom hovering silently

Dizzy vultures in my head,
Slowly circling the dead
Nauseating nursery rhymes

You can't chase away all your demons now
With withered and broken legs...
As your crippled sanity
Swings like a pendulum,
Hanging like a phantom limb

6. Long Strange Trip To Paradise

Born in a coffin with lipstick on your cheek
I can't look away, I can't look away
Where have you been all night?
Your eyes are swollen shut
You can't see a thing now can you?

Valley girls in love with the decadence
Blindfolded, purging up the vanity
A kiss like a near death experience
(Sitting in the backseat of my daddy's car)
Oh yeah!

Buy the ticket,
Buy the ticket, take the ride
On a long strange trip to paradise
Buy the ticket,
Buy the ticket, take the ride
The pleasure's yours and the the pain's all mine

Rosemary's baby is rockin' in the cradle
Eyes wide and staring like she's hypnotized
Jacob's ladder is leaning up against the wall
(Every time I try climbing it, I fall)

Valley girls in love with the decadence
Blindfolded, purging up the vanity
A kiss like a near death experience
(Sitting in the backseat of my daddy's car)
Oh yeah!

Buy the ticket,
Buy the ticket, take the ride
On a long strange trip to paradise
Buy the ticket,
Buy the ticket, take the ride
The pleasure's yours and the the pain's all mine

Looking at you now I see
You're barely breathin', yeah you're barely breathin' now
You're barely breathin', yeah you're barely breathin' now
Peggy Sue, what the hell's gotten into you?
Call 911 for the 666, yeah
Call 911 for the 666, yeah

Dancing with the Devil's wife,
Begging her to take your life
Vapid little vampire
Is all staring at my jugular
We've made the nightly news,
And there's no way that we can lose
Smiling slave all dressed in leather,
What's your poison, what's your pleasure?

Buy the ticket,
Buy the ticket, take the ride
On a long strange trip to paradise
Buy the ticket,
Buy the ticket, take the ride
The pleasure's yours and the the pain's all mine

Looking at you now I see
You're barely breathin', yeah you're barely breathin' now
You're barely breathin', yeah you're barely breathin' now
Peggy Sue, what the hell's gotten into you?
Call 911 for the 666, yeah
Call 911 for the 666, yeah

Mascara's running in a marathon,
Palm reading hands across America
Sleep tight, loose lips are sinking ships
I'd kill just to be in your arms again

7. Bring Me The Head Of Andy Warhol

This is beginning to feel just like a competition
I see you smilin' at me and your front teeth are missin'
Snapshots and flash bulbs ignite along the runway
And you freeze like a pale mannequin,
I think you like what you see

The plastic surgeons all whispered to each other and blushed
Malevolence breeds contempt into a deviant crush
Mortals threaten suicide until they forget your name
Fifteen minutes of fame is now the name of the game

Post mortem penetration,
Rigamortis sets the scene
Now get under the microscope,
All writhe and squirm in Vaseline
In a city full of rats,
all feeding on the narcissism
I lit the match,
I lit the fire that burned your Hollywood to the ground
(Burn it all down)

IV drippin' like cocaine down the back of your throat
Drama queen all dressed up with nowhere to go
Street walkin', night stalkin', cold-blooded killer
There's a murder in the room of your polkadot cadaver

Bring me the head of Andy Warhol
Bring me the head of Andy Warhol
Nightmares shapeshift into oblivion
You have not even seen the last of me
What do you want me to say?
I wouldn't have it any other way
One day they'll find you with a candle burning inside of you skull

Are you happy now?
You're finally the talk of the town
Search lights in the sky
Your fame will turn this blood into wine

Fashionistas deliver the death blow,
Penetrate you like it's your birthday
Playtime for children in the graveyard
You have not even seen the last of me
What do you want me to say?
I wouldn't have it any other way
One day they'll find you with a candle burning inside of you skull

Cold, pale Jesus,
Sodom and Gomorrah
Headless Horseman,
Death is at your doorstep
The best rehabs are
All in California
Junkies pushing up
Daisies in the garden
Can you dig it?

I've come here to eat your heart out,
Slit your throat,
And fuck your brains out
Keep your voice down or you'll wake them

(So we're starting to get somewhere)

If LSD was was popular as cocaine,
I wouldn't drive a Delorean

Cold, pale Jesus,
Sodom and Gomorrah
Headless Horseman,
Death is at your doorstep
The best rehabs are
All in California
Junkies pushing up
Daisies in the garden

Fashionistas deliver the final death blow,
Penetrate you like it's your birthday
Playtime for children in the graveyard
You have not even seen the last of me
What do you want me to say?
I wouldn't have it any other way
One day they'll find you with a candle burning inside of you skull

8. Chloroform Girl

Your eyes look just like bullet holes,
It must be all that cryin'
You haven't learned a thing at all

Another Helter Skelter,
Moonlight has come and gone
The bloody writing's on the wall

Chloroform Girl, how have you been?
Don't let me catch you sleepin' again,
You're only alive because I like you
It's been three years since you've seen the sunlight,
But I know you're having fun,
Bound, gagged, and chained up in my basement

You look just like a zombie,
Inches from dead and pretty,
With purple flowers in your hair

I hear the angels crying,
Just as the Devil smiles
All little pigs will die tonight

Chloroform Girl, how have you been?
Don't let me catch you sleepin' again,
You're only alive because I like you
It's been three years since you've seen the sunlight,
But I know you're having fun,
Bound, gagged, and chained up in my basement

I hear the Devil singin' the most haunting melodies
I've got this overwhelming feeling of morbid ecstasy,
Coming over me...

Chloroform Girl, how have you been?
Don't let me catch you sleepin' again,
You're only alive because I like you
It's been three years since you've seen the sunlight,
But I know you're having fun,
Bound, gagged, and chained up in my basement

Chloroform Girl...

9. What's The Worst Thing That Could Happen?

When you get home I will be there waiting for you
With a poisoned drink in my hand,
Because two can play at this game
This world's not big enough for the two of us
Although, you're still the most beautiful hooker alive

Look who's smiling now
Remember when you said,
"What's the worst thing that could happen?"
Well it's happening to you,
Yeah, right fucking now
To a soundtrack inside my head
And the record keeps on skippin',
Playin' the same part
Over and over and over again!

Satellites spin in empty galaxies
As the comets penetrate the space
Good nights fade into bad days
As the sun set into blue nightmares

Bleeding out the apathy,
Sleeping with the enemy
You are now my only desire
I don't know whether to kiss you, or cut you, and kill you

I couldn't cry if I wanted to,
I wasn't good enough for you
You are unhealthy for anyone
The skin and the muscle, the worms

Look who's smiling now
Remember when you said,
"What's the worst thing that could happen?"
Well it's happening to you,
Yeah, right fucking now
To a soundtrack inside my head
And the record keeps on skippin',
Playin' the same part
Over and over and over again!

What's the worst thing that could happen?
It's happening to you, right fucking now
Look who's smiling now
I remember you and I parked on Lover's Lane,
Drinking each others' blood,
So young and insane
When you bit your lip, and you winked at me,
With a promise we would be
Together forever
Let's stop pretending,
This love is neverending
But all good things,
Must someday come to die

One more disco!
One, one more disco!

Look who's smiling now
Remember when you said,
"What's the worst thing that could happen?"
Well it's happening to you,
Yeah, right fucking now
To a soundtrack inside my head
And the record keeps on skippin',
Playin' the same part
Over and over and over again!

10. Brainwash

Oooh ahh, oooh ahh, oooh ahh, oooh oooh
Oooh ahh, oooh ahh, oooh ahh, oooh oooh

Your fragile eyes brainwash the weak,
Remaining silent so to speak
Your dizzy head and weakened bones
Play funeral dirges in skeletons

Brainwash my head
To clear away all the lies that I've been forced and fed
What could have been?
What could it be,
That you saw inside of me
That you would ever give me your love?

I believe the fact God worships you,
Is going straight to your head
I'm dying to feed on your disease
(And I swore I heard you sing)
"Drive through to the next window, please"
(Drive through, now)

Brainwash my head
To clear away
All the lies
That I've been forced and fed
What could have been?
What could it be,
That you saw inside of me
That you would ever give me your love?

(Brainwash)

All these days fade into gray,
As this dying love decays
Inside this cold lobotomy
(No brain activity)
I'll turn to stone if I look away
(I can't look away)
The sun won't shine a single ray
(As we eclipse the apocalypse)

I've got news for you now, sugar,
You're a real fucking heartbreaker
But before I lay down and die,
Oh, I've got a big surprise
So come and hold out your hand and close your eyes real tight,
There will be no forgetting tonight
This is a memento of my demise,
Take my heart here wrapped in velvet,
I don't need it anymore!
Talk is cheap but I know you're listening,
I don't want to feel anymore!
Sinking like a pirate on a seagrave ship of fools
You know I'm a fool for you, a fool for you, a fool for you

Oooh ahh, oooh ahh, oooh ahh, oooh oooh

Brainwash my head
To clear away
All the lies
That I've been forced and fed
What could have been?
What could it be,
That you saw inside of me
That you would ever give me your love?

(Everybody sing it now)

All these days fade into gray,
As this dying love decays
Inside this cold lobotomy
(No brain activity)
I'll turn to stone if I look away
(I can't look away)
The sun won't shine a single ray
(As we eclipse the apocalypse)

11. Pure Bedlam For Half Breeds

You've got a face that only your mother could love
Beneath the make up and skin is only skeleton
Looking through your window when you're home and all alone
I'll swallow you whole with milk and spit out the bones

This song is not for you,
This song is just for me
La dolce vida in the city by the sea
Inside our honeymoon suite
Inside the belly of a whale
I want you lyin' face down
Upon a bed of nails

Say hello to my little friend,
My God, it's so good to see you again
Pure bedlam
For half breeds
Under the hot rain,
In this tropic purgatory
Pure mayhem
For OGs
I'm down with
Tippin' 40s to your memory

We are now the Bonnie and Clyde of the prison yard
Our love is firing bullets at the prison guards
We are now the angels of death breathing cyanide
Circling the sun, burning holes in the blue sky

This life is not for you,
This life is not for me
Now we've got our necks all stuck in a guillotine
Don't let them see your fear,
Don't let them hear you scream,
Just close your eyes and pretend it's a bad dream

Say hello to my little friend,
My God, it's so good to see you again
Pure bedlam
For half breeds
Under the hot rain,
In this tropic purgatory
Pure mayhem
For OGs
I'm down with
Tippin' 40s to your memory

(Harder, faster
You want it
Harder, faster)

Lullabies in a voice so sweet
To you and me and the Devil, makes three
There is no place like home,
But we are not in Kansas anymore
Rape becomes the new 'I love you'
Out with the old assault on the senses

Ashes of the mushroom clouds
Sulfur tears rain down
Whispers in the wind grow loud
My God, it's so hot down here
Hush little baby, dry your eyes
Don't cry my sweet Clementine

(Hello pharaoh, where's your halo?)

Say hello to my little friend,
My God, it's so good to see you again
Pure bedlam
For half breeds
Under the hot rain,
In this tropic purgatory
Pure mayhem
For OGs
I'm down with
Tippin' 40s to your memory

12. Sole Survivor

Sole survivor, the guilt is setting in
The plane came crashing down,
I'm the only one who lived
A turbulent flight led you to this place and time,
A one-way ticket to the end of your life

Black and blue angels who float through the aisleways
Smile at children who don't hear a word they say
Fasten your seat belts, you're in for a bumpy ride
Please remain come in the event of emergency

You didn't deserve this cruel invitation,
You didn't deserve this fucked up situation
I hope you had someone who loved you,
I hope you had someone to love

We can blame it all on the moonlight,
Is that good enough for you?
We can blame it all on the rising tides,
Revenge of the oceans blue

They'll blame it on you

I remember a little boy sitting next to me,
Sitting alone without a care of this world
I hope he had someone who loved him,
I hope he had someone to love

We can blame it all on the moonlight,
Is that good enough for you?
We can blame it all on the rising tides,
Revenge of the oceans blue

They'll blame it on you

Come and fly the friendly skies,
Oh what a frightening way that would be to die
Come and fly the friendly skies,
Oh what a frightening way that would be to die

Flashback to photos of you on your last birthday
Blow out the candles they told you to wish away
Daydreams of dying, the airplanes came crashing down
This is the day that you've always remembered now

You didn't believe in karma, did you?
I think that it believes in you

We can blame it all on the moonlight,
Is that good enough for you?
We can blame it all on the rising tides,
Revenge of the oceans blue

They'll blame it on you

I awoke among the burning, twisted wreckage
Choking on black smoke inside a field of fire
A turbulent fight brought me to this place and time,
A one-way ticket to the rest of my life
