Exile In Creeptown

Out here no one knows my name
I’m just lost in the crowd
No voice, who’d hear me anyway?
When life is so loud
Surrounded by monsters, surrounded by ghosts
And I’m a vampire out on the west coast
Where there’s too much sun and too many wolves
And a graveyard for love where once we stood
And it’s burning now, it’s all burning down
But they keep going round and round and round
And it’s turning out that everyone around
Will watch as we all tumble to the ground
And as the sirens sound and they release the hounds
We best go underground and we best go now
And I can hear them pound, so don’t make a sound
Because once we’re found, its exile in Creeptown
Out here no one sees my face
Through my mask you don’t know what’s fake
No choice, lie like everybody
Surrounded by vultures, surrounded by beasts
We’re all on the menu, it’s all you can eat
They’re throwing us scraps just to keep us at bay
While I’m like a lion locked up in a cage
What are they feeding me?
Tastes like hyperbole
The hypocrisy to tell me that I’m free
Born into need, life in captivity
They threw away the key
We are majority
Now it can only be either you or me
Reality TV, social celebrity
They systematically divide society
Creeptown has brought us to our knees
Out here in Creeptown, man, you better watch out
This is dog eat dog like you’ve never seen it before
This is like, we’re like gladiators thrown into the ring for the big cats’ entertainment
But instead of sitting in the ima cavea, we’re streaming it straight to their pocket
How’s that for reality TV?
It’s like, they moved it all online, but we’re still all just chasing the carrot
Running on the hamster wheel that is industry
There’s no you do you in Creeptown
No, This is simulation theory with the highest stakes imaginable
This is life
It begs the question, did Creeptown turn man into a monster?
Or was man always a monster and Creeptown was just the byproduct?
Predator or prey, surrounded by decay
Will you stand and fight or will you run away?
This is judgment day, you’ve got a choice to make
Pick a side or get out of the way
With every move we make and every inch we take
We’ll push back Creeptown until it breaks
And in these streets of rage, it’s not too late to change
We’ll get assembled and we’ll take back the day

Hold up now baby girl
Why did you run away?
Why did you run so fast?
So far away from me, as far as you could, so far away from the blast
You play all these games with me, play me a fool and leave me broke in half
But I ain't no chump, baby, been there before so I blow smoke rings and I laugh
'Cuz I'm a sit pretty and write little ditties while you keep getting puffed and passed like my joints up committee saying that little bitty became a ho so fast
Dr. Frankenstein,
Build me a woman to talk to
Build me a girl to adore
Build me a woman that laughs a lot, that's always begging for more
Build me an intellectual that runs deep inside
Build me a woman that's funky
One that's alive!
Sometimes I wonder if she's somewhere wondering about what we did last
And I get the feeling that all of these feelings you'll find in time won't pass
My baby messed up as she'd say "C'est la vie", je t'aime mais kiss my ass
Let me run through her daisies, but she got the crazies, them crazies hit hard and fast
So I'm a keep rollin' these gypsies of 'dro, rollin' on 'cause I'm built to last
Dr. Frankenstein,
Build me a woman to talk to
Build me a girl to adore
Build me a woman that laughs a lot, that's always begging for more
Build me an intellectual that runs deep inside
Build me a woman that's funky
One that's alive!
Now I know my story's a story you've heard, probably one you've lived before
I come home see my baby, she got a new friend, she been sneaking him in the back door
But she's just that girl and that kind of trouble is always looking for more
That ridiculous odyssey took so much out of me, I'm tired of fighting the war
So build me a woman, a woman that's built, and just what I'm looking for
Yeah, make me a mama who's down the jive, that one out on the dance floor
Build me a woman to talk to
Build me a girl to adore
Build me a woman that laughs a lot, that's always begging for more
Build me an intellectual that runs deep inside
Build me a woman that's funky
One that's alive!

Long black hair, eyes like crows
I’ll follow her wherever she goes
It’s midnight from her head to her toes
She plays it so cool but everyone knows
That she’s a knockout, dark cloud, storm on the rise
Yeah, there’s trouble coming
Boys are running out of their minds
And I just can’t take my eyes off of you
I’ll to anything, baby, that you want me to do, because
I want to touch your magic
I want to swim in your soul
You’ve got me shaking, baby, under your spell
And I don’t ever want to let you go
Lips so soft, skin like snow
Better than Picasso, she’s a one woman show
And at midnight she’s ready to go
You best hold on tight and let her take control
And it’s a hot night, she flies round in my head
Like a full moon, too soon, she’s gone again
And I just can’t get you out of my mind
You’re the prettiest thing to go bump in the night, yeah
I want to touch your magic
I want to swim in your soul
You’ve got me shaking, baby, under your spell
And I don’t ever want to let you go
I want to touch your magic
I want to swim in your soul
You’ve got me shaking, baby, under your spell
And I don’t ever want to let you go
I want to touch your magic
I want to swim in your soul
You’ve got me shaking, baby, under your spell
And I don’t ever want to let you go
I want to touch your magic
I want to swim in your soul
You’ve got me shaking, baby, under your spell
And I don’t ever want to let you go

Zombie Girl

She's one hell of a ride
In moments she'll get inside
When I'm weak, when I'm strong
With this little baby, I'm gone
But no she won't stay long
Her nature moving on
Yeah she's too weak she's to strong
And I thought I knew it all along
Zombie girl, please don’t go
Zombie girl, don’t you know?
I need your love
To stand me up
Seduce me with that stare
Pretend like you even care
I know you, you know me
Maybe I'll see you next week
I know what this love brings
Get me off with no strings
I'm too strong or I'm too weak
To let you be my everything
Zombie girl, please don’t go
Zombie girl, don’t you know?
I need your love
To stand me up
Maybe I'll see you around
Even though you let me down
I'm too weak, no, I'm too strong
To let this madness go on
But this end has a thousand more
If I walk back through that door
Zombie girl oh can't you see
What your love has done to me
In your eyes, such disdain
While I let this life fade away
A moment we can't sustain
And live to fight another day
Oh please don’t go
Zombie girl oh don’t you know?
I need your love
To stand me up

Little story bout Ronni and Dean
Fell in love when they were just seventeen
Every day after school beneath the mezzanine
Doing all the don'ts, those pretty young things
'til late one night at the high school ball
A tragedy a coming that nobody saw
The screaming and a crying and the blood on the wall
Ronni's fate became the village warning call
Now ten years later by the railroad tracks
Dean met a fancy man dressed all in black
He said, "Do me this deed and we'll make a pact, and every Halloween night you'll get Ronni back!”
Set fire, Inhale, open your eyes
And let yourself emulsify
Hear them on the wind they ride
Orion's lost his head tonight
Write your name in candlelight
And keep this gift ‘til morning light
Take her hand just one more time
Oh, what a sight, he's dancing with her ghost
Another little story bout Betty and Clyde
All American every single Friday night
It started innocent enough with just one line
But these kids must be going to malefica high
Because late one night, out on the town
Flying so high never to come down
What cold wind rattled all through the house?
The sound of Betty's lights going out
Now ten years later by the factory
Clyde met a fancy man dressed all in green
He said, “Some tit-for-tat and we’ll agree that you can get your Betty back every Halloween.”
Set fire, Inhale, open your eyes
And let yourself emulsify
Hear them on the wind they ride
Orion's lost his head tonight
Write your name in candlelight
And keep this gift ‘til morning light
Take her hand just one more time
Oh, what a sight, he's dancing with her ghost
He’s dancing, he’s dancing
He’s dancing with black magic
He’s dancing, he’s dancing
He’s dancing with her ghost
He’s dancing, he’s dancing
He’s dancing with black magic
He’s dancing, he’s dancing
He’s dancing with her ghost
Black magic
Black magic
Black magic
Black magic
Black magic
Black magic

Dr. Frankenstein Pt. 2
06:00

You made me a man but a broken one
Cast me out into the sun
On display for everyone
To fear the thing that I had become
And it burns deep down inside
You can run but never hide
Our love was a monster, you just ran away
We went out like a shooting star
Straight into the fade
Now I know I know better
Yeah, I know what to say
But do you still see a monster?
Baby, you made me this way
Safe in the darkness while I try to harness
The longing for love that you took away
Something inside me went with you that day
I’ve tasted your poison, now I am rage
That burns deep down inside
You can run but never hide
Our love was a monster, you just ran away
We went out like a shooting star
Straight into the fade
Now I know I know better
Yeah, I know what to say
But do you still see a monster?
Baby, you made me this way
I found my way in spite of you
Wandered this world broken in two
I kissed all my lovers, more than a few
And now I’m coming back for you
Because I found nobody compares to you
And through every heartbreak, it was always you
That burns deep down inside
You can run but you can’t hide
Our love was a monster, you just ran away
We went out like a shooting star
Straight into the fade
Now I know I know better
Yeah, I know what to say
But do you still see a monster?
Baby, you made me this way
Now you stand and face me
No, you can’t erase me
Do you see what they see?
How could you forsake me?
Now you stand and face me
No, you can’t erase me
Do you see what they see?
How could you forsake me?
All my sins, all my sins
Take me down but you’ll go with me
