hey, Mr.J. 02:30
I walked through my hometown, I noticed a guy, I knew him at once Although he was high, The wounds in his hands Had long turned to white scars, He lay in the dirt Outside Chesterfield bar I said Hey, Mr. Jesus How do you feel, He said “I am fine, boy, I had me some pills” But Mr. Jesus You look quite unwell, He spat and he told me To go straight to hell His face was all bloody And his shirt was torn, Like he had a brawl And the other guy won, They threw him away And then locked the door, He’d played his main role They don’t need him no more I said Hey Mr. Jesus Are you gon’ be okay? “Spare me some change boy I’m in need of cocaine”, But I had no money He shrugged and he lurched And he went down the road, I went back to the church

Darkness is seeping through the walls of my room, Shadows are creeping in the gathering gloom, Sunset is fading, daylight is gone, I’m all alone in my temple of bones, Moon rises high and the stars come along, My soul grows cold like a moldy tombstone, I’ve been here too long and it feels all wrong, I step to the window to see what’s goin’ on, Handsome boy and beautiful girl Kiss in the street, dead to the world, In five years he’s a hideous junkie creep, And she’s a dirty slut with a cunt mile deep The world keeps turning, My fire’s still burning Life is a bitch – it hits you hard, You’ve got a new stitch – stay on your guard, Life is a whore – it cheats on you, Just like before – you’ll make it through

Everyone tries to rise to paradise For a price of some lies and a pair of dice, Everyone tries to be someone these days, But a race of faceless no-ones has taken their place, Disgrace doesn’t scare anyone anymore When the race against time is outside the door, Hardcore civic position and network connection Win you the affection of human infection, The brainless trash that you call society Spreads like a rash of disgusting variety, Anxiety is building up like pus in a gashing wound, We need a breath of fresh night wind sent by the Mistress Moon
4.
A fire is burning in the depth of my soul, A vile thing yearning to be in control, Every passing mile smiles at me like death And I ask myself why I’m still drawing breath, But I keep on going down this terrible road, Hauling this mauling unbearable load, The wind is blowing and lightning glows red, Maybe they forgot to tell me I was already dead, Step too close to the flame and you will get scorched, ‘Cause this fucking life is a lame ugly whore, You played with knives and got a fresh stitch And soon you’ll get another ‘cause life is a bitch

We have already seen it, And we liked what we saw, And you may not believe it, But we ate her flesh raw We have seen it, we have seen it, It was scary, cold and damp, We have seen it, we have seen it, It was bloody, tight and cramped We have seen it, we have seen it, In an armchair, Tudor-styled, We have seen it, we have seen it, Sat the girl whom you defiled

alone 03:24
I am alone, The night has just fallen, I’m lying and waiting For them to come, This ugly life Full of betrayal, Has taken from me The friend that I’ve found I pray to the Lord I know from the old book, To take me from here And into the light, While this doomed world And its filthy vermin Quietly slide Into eternal night I am alone, The night has just fallen, I’m lying and waiting For them to come
