I give you a warning Do not look to the sky Avoid their gaze Those verminous beady eyes For they are watching And cannot wait to respond Bestow on you a bountiful Barrage of what is wrong With this state of affairs When I cannot leave the house Out of fear of attack From some winged rat or mouse But with all of this spare time That I have spent indoors I have been planing The extermination Of those giant rats from the sky The extermination For the safety of you and I I must ask you Please do not feed the birds For they are out of control And yet you have the nerve To encourage this behaviour With a certain lack of remorse Oh wait I see you don’t live here It's clear a tourist of course Well I must tell you To cut that shit out They were out of control But just look at them now If you are not part of the solution And all of that jazz Then I have been planning The extermination Of those giant rats from the sky The extermination For the safety of you and I

Feelers Out 05:50
I can hear creepy crawlies Scuttling oh so softly Along the edge of my skirting board Feelers out, at the ready Wondering, are there any Morsels left from the night before I can see creatures of the deep Frolicking on the bed I sleep Guess I won't sleep there no more Feelers out at the ready Oh my god there are so many Guess I can just sleep on the floor Get the boots, get the gloves Protective goggles lift the rugs Whenever I get the chance, I get one up on them Separated from the rest I will take my opportunity for revenge I can feel the floor shaking As they continue navigating The patch of carpet around my head Every lap they close the gap Preparing for a fleshy snack I fear if I sleep I may wake up dead Get the boots, get the gloves Protective goggles lift the rugs Whenever I get the chance, I get one up on them Separated from the rest I will take my opportunity for revenge I am your Godzilla, I am the insect killa, Get the boots, get the gloves Protective goggles lift the rugs This shits about to go down The exterminator is in town Tonight I am your Godzilla I am the insect killa

In the kitchen cooking some food Peeling vegetables and being rude Forgot about the water now I watch it bubble over Forgot about the water now I watch it boil over the edge Watch it bubble over the edge Heat up some butter in the microwave But the packaging was metal so its starts An electric rave Unfortunately no-one could be saved No-one got out alive My eyes are blurry and my head is shot I dropped my bottle and it hit the rocks All I can do, is stand and watch it bubble over I can see you watching me over my shoulder Watching me over my shoulder I think I need to think it all over again Back in the kitchen and my pants are on fire The microwave incident has made me a liar Back in the kitchen and my pants are on fire Back in the kitchen and my pants are on fire The microwave incident has made me a liar Back in the kitchen and my pants are on fire Back in the kitchen and my pants are on fire

Numbers Yeh 04:45

One bright day in the middle of the night, Two dead boys got up to fight. Back-to-back they faced one another, Drew their swords and shot each other. One was blind and the other couldn't see, So they chose a dummy for a referee. A blind man came to see fair play, A dumb man went to shout "hooray!" A deaf policeman heard the noise, And came and killed those two dead boys. A paralysed donkey walking by, Kicked the copper in the eye, Sent him through a rubber wall, Into a dry ditch and drowned them all. (If you don't believe this lie is true, Ask the blind man -- he saw it too!)

Inspector 05:42
The name is Inspector Maximum I said as I met eyes with the uniformed gentleman at the door He stepped aside, lifted the yellow and black tape and let in me because he knew who I was and what I was there for I walked down the stairs past several disturbing erotic paintings Into the thick red mist below As I reached the end of my decent and walked out into the dimly lit room I caught the end of the show Her skin was as pale as a sheet Body still as the stagnant air Gazing down my eyes did meet The teeth marks beneath her hair She had been drained like a carton of juice By an undead criminal from space The vampire I feared the most And his name was zz I took a look around the damp dank cellar and realised this must be where the devil calls his home On the wall a dusty old space cape and in the corner of the room what I assumed to be a pile of bones That was until the bones started moving and expanding in a terrifying mess of limbs feet and hands and before I could even conceive what was happening the pale shape in the dark rose to form what resembled a man. His skin was as pale as a sheet Oil black eyes fixed on mine The monster bared his teeth Oh what pearly white canines In a flash he was at the stairs And in another I met him there With a swift right hook to the jaw He escaped me. He will always be there out of sight of me As I am sleeping unaware It is him intruding on my reality The shadow in the shadows The caped hunter in the night I must leave this path so straight so narrow I must leave the light To find him, I must leave the light To find him, I must leave the light To find him, I must leave the light

I am able I am bodied Forever young and ever bloodied I am Full of teeth and ready Just not so mentally steady So off I go into the night To hide away from prying eyes To sit alone in the park And scare people after dark I am a monster A space vampire from Mars I am a monster And my home is in the stars I am what will do the trick I am here to pick up chicks I wont be stable till I'm ready Dead rotten flat packed and buried So off I go into the night To hide away from prying eyes To sit alone in the park And scare people after dark I am a monster A space vampire from Mars I am a monster And my home is in the stars I am a monster A space vampire from Mars I am a monster And my home is in the stars And you'll know As you gaze into my endless eyes I'm alone And you'll know As I stand beneath these darkened skies I'm alone These streets are draining my will and my defence I need to get out of here This planet is far to bright As I lie confined In my box I realise I have been questioning my deeds and my conscience I need to get out of here It is to hot as I lie Sticking to my coffin walls Waiting for the precious night I dream of the red sands in a place far from here I need to get out of here I have begun to feel alive I need a plan Before I start to humanise I must be swift before I'm trapped in this state of mind Inspector maximum is in the place and he's on the case Now reinforced and fully endorsed by the powers be To put this oh so guilty vampire back in his place You thought you'd escaped me, monster amongst men But I will find you I will always find you Incarcerated and a long long way from home I have been waiting and I still have a long long wait to go But forever is, forever is, a long long time And I, And I, I will bide mine.

What do you have In your hand? That would be the escape plan That we have contrived, analysed and supervised With our great minds we devised an outline For our illegal exit from this place. I now find hair line Cracks lie in my great sky How can you call that a man? cowering on the floor. Why wont he stand? He has been brutalised, traumatised and victimised by the hotshot, fuck face, human waste guards of this place. Isolated, intimidated and humiliated. We must take him with us. Goodbye we are leaving Running as fast as you can Climb the walls and the towers They hid behind, held the line, justified. We will not be concentrated, confiscated, dominated. Our Rights will be reinstated, Liberated, Liberated. re-draw the lines, redefine.

He Fell Over 06:16
My Clothes are Dirty Rotten and Earthy I have been playing With the other children Beneath the Trees Aswaying the Great outdoors Outside my front porch On the grass and the gravel path That's where I slipped and had my Fall Blood is dripping of my finger nails Onto my tiny body I do my best not to make a mess Man I am so sorry Blood is dripping of my finger nails Onto my tiny body I do my best not to make a mess Man I am so sorry My Bones are broken My Body Splits open I wasn't watching Where my feet were going To busy playing And now I lay down On the gravel path Rest my head in the grass Sharp stones dig into my back And that's OK Cuz I can see the stars As I lay Here where I slipped and had my Fall Blood is dripping of my finger nails Onto my tiny body I do my best not to make a mess Man I am so sorry Blood is dripping of my finger nails Onto my tiny body I do my best not to make a mess Man I am so sorry Blood is dripping of my finger nails Onto my fragile body, blue lights flash in the distance Illuminate the scene shadows dancing between The brightly clad officers making their way In the long last light of day And once again the sun rises in front of me Rises in front of me. Rises In front of me.
