Gasoline Vertigo

Crash landing
I was never very stealthy
Miles and miles of sand
Divided by a black line of asphalt
Corpses run through my blood
I live the life others left behind
I begun to walk
at a side of the highway
I asked for water
They brought me gasoline!
I've been dragged around long enough
I've been spat on my face
I've been robbed of things i love
I've been killed
time and time again
but somehow i come back to life
in a pile of shit
I'm a phoenix in a low budget sci-fi world
That Mad Max bullshit
i live it on the flesh
and now i'm here
looking for myself in the desert sand
Drinking gasoline from a portable tank
watching the UFO's go by
The remains of slaughter
and the flags waving alone in the wasteland
These are all the logos of the world i live in
So now i...
Ramble, ramble
Down the dusty road
Goin' down to Mexico
with GASOLINE VERTIGO
Ramble, ramble
with weight on my shoulders
and black glasses
with GASOLINE VERTIGO
Ramble, ramble
leaving a trail of fire
I'm on that Kill Bill shit
and i'm not done
Come at me!
Now!
while i
Ramble, ramble
down the walks of life
You ain't got shit on me
and my GASOLINE VERTIGO
Ramble, ramble
with my hat against the storm
it's me against the world
you give me GASOLINE VERTIGO
Ramble, ramble
in this rotten world
Rotten to the core myself
i swim in hot shit
I'm on my way to the end of the world
with a smile on my face!
(Chorus x2)

Something's not quite right
and it's never been
The air smells like silver
and the earth spins faster
I can feel the other gamblers' gaze upon us
God's taking us for a ride at the casino
But i'm not mad
I like the motion
I like the way every emotion
lurks under the table all the time
I love the way big palm trees swing with the wind
and you don't know if they're gonna fall or not
This is just day-to-day life
I go with the motion
but it can't change my way
Fate's a planet-sized bullet
aimed at my compass
But my magnetic pole is so strong
i can now sense it
with my eyes closed
The chaos that surrounds me
only propels me forward
These melodies are a road
of bitter sugarcoat
that take me to my ultimate goal
Slowly but surely
From lie to lie
i jump my way to the truth

Johnny's Dead
03:08
|

Downtown, baby
There's this big ass saloon
And down there, baby
I'm gonna kill Johnny Bravo
Don't try to stop me
I'm boiling to the top
I got myself a gun
and i intend to use it
Still smoking in my hand
His corpse is laying down
and his blood's sipping thru the floorboards
The jukebox was playing some weakass song
about regret and some italian painter
so i shot it too
Black leather pussies run all around the place
like they ain't seen a dead body before
I stepped out into the open for some fresh air
but it was the same shit as on the inside
I thought violence was more frequent down here
I'm sorry if i disturbed all of you
but i really had to kill that motherfucker
'cuz Downtown, baby,
is where i get down
HEY
Out of that shithole
Las Vegas is calling me powerfully
and that town doesn't want me again
I'm speedin down the freeway
like a bullet to the ocean
I got the gasoline vertigo
breathing down my neck
reminding me that i'm becoming a part of it
If life's a bitch,
i'm gonna be the greatest dick she'll ever meet
Chytilová won't be proud
but she's fucking dead
and even if she saw me
i couldn't give less of a fuck about it
Spent too much time trying to be kind
and now i gotta get my payback
in blood and sexual stimulation
So here i go
A bientot, motherfucker!

Kachi Mukau Sekai
02:34
|
|||
I'm gonna bite my own hair off
and paint my head with human blood
When i saw the corpses of my previous life
I understood
Time is the simplest thing
I can't stop forward motion
and i can't buy back the past
I've only got the road ahead of me
and now i'd proudly
ride off the cliff with Thelma and Louise
I gotta face my own rotting skeleton
Kachi mukau sekai
I'm the desert punk
i bring the words both you and i don't wanna hear
I hope Las Vegas erases them from my mind
after the disappointment Heaven was
That's the way
that's the light
in that bright city i'll find my reason to live
I'm on the red shark
pedal to the metal
till my feet touch the highway
This motherfucker's flying

Neon Elvis Hates Me Now
06:49
|
|||
Things look bigger from a distance
but smaller when you come closer
I learned it the hard way
I apologize to everyone i pushed aside on the way to my goal
Neon Elvis hates me now
and i don't care as much as i thought i would
and it doesn't matter because i burned him down

Buy Me Reincarnation!
05:57
|
|||
I found out i'm alone
when my screams were muffled
by the crowd of my dreams
Arson to the so called paradise
i look back on my little genocide
and i don't feel shit
My whole life was a countdown
i was waiting for that place that would grant me hope
but it was a lie
IT WAS A FUCKING LIE
A very fucking cheap lie
and the price i payed is my whole fucking lifetime
But hey
Leave those bastards behind
You're old enough to understand
and young enough to carry on
Hey
Las Vegas is gone
and in front of you
you finally have
the truth
Hey
The sandstorm's catching up
Run away
Far away
You fucking bastards
better buy me reincarnation
You fuckin bastards
better buy me an electric guitar
Give me the means
give me the means to transcend this shithole!
I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone
but i'm not fine yet
The cure is a long way ahead
and i feel weak
(x2)

The moon's an eye
and it's watching me
God's eye in the night
It's looking over my actions
like it did over
Caravaggio's sins
A chosen path
between the saints that shine in darkness
My whole life
i've felt guilty
for sins i haven't done
Now's the time
i broke these chains
the chains of shame
The night has many fingers
and they're all poking my brain
but it's too late
You can't make me repent
I shook hands with shadows
i played cards with the crows
that'll eat my corpse
The shame of existing is long gone
you won't shape my desires
Love won't push me into the depths again
i don't look for consolation anymore
My whole life
i tried to break this shell
but nobody cared
so i didn't try harder
My whole life
my true self
has lived alone among darkness
and now he's kicking and screaming on the way out

A grenade tangled in my hair the other day
Weird echoes of a thought left behind
hatching like an egg in my brain
tried to rip it off and it didn't work
but i'm not done
I walked a thousand miles to get rid of you
but you keep coming back
You're the end of a future
that nobody wants
but nobody can avoid
I saw my face in a coffin in the midst of a space parade
Reminded me of a thought i left behind
Hamlet's corpse in the rings of Saturn
eyes fixed on the mothership
To be or not to be or be something
Something that'll break the walls
of a wiiiiide wasteland
Don't you dare take any photos
or i'll breeeeeak you all down
break down all the bones for my ritual
A mutual understanding between me
and my grandfather's ghost
Wish i would've known him alive
but he got ran over by a bus while drunk
I wish i would've born before
wish i would've had horns when furious
to ram over everyone i hate
wish i would've thrown all my wishes out the window
so i can die in peace
but it turns out i'm not done
I killed you a thousand times and i got rid of you
but you always come back
Crawling or flying
you always find a way back
even tho nobody wants you here
You fucking coward!
