Monsters

monsters come out of your nightmares
monsters hide inside your head
monsters come out when they all know you’re scared and
monsters don’t sleep when they’re dead
there are monsters who live in the city
and monsters that live by the shore
some monsters are proud and they dress up nice and pretty
and some of them live right next door
monsters come in thru your eyeballs
monsters crawl up from underneath
monsters are loud
and some don’t make a sound
monsters are stuck between your teeth

well i don’t want to talk about it
all you do is talk Headhunter
you want to get inside of me
that’s not place you want to be
Headhunter
you could never take back what you found
and you could never turn away
from all the things you’d hear me say
why don’t you just stay away or drown
Headhunter
well there’s a ticking clock that speaks in tongues
but does not speak to everyone
Headhunter
and it seems to me to be unkind
to the naked and the blind
Headhunter
be wary of the streets on which you roam
where voices only whisper tones
and sad guitars they rattle bones
of all the souls that wander on their own
Headhunter
so i don’t want to talk about it
all you do is talk
Headhunter
you want to get inside of me
that’s not place you ought to be
Headhunter
round n round n round n round it goes
where this stops nobody knows
I guess I know I suppose
but I would never tell another soul

from the early early morning
to the middle of the night
she prances round like jagger back in ’65
all empty seats in the dome
the lights are on but ain’t nobody home
that girl is a space cadette
her brain is wet
from wearing to much aqua net
a satellite dish
no tv set
that girl is a space cadette
she’s a walking tape loop of drama and despair
won’t stop talking or come up for air
but hey back in the day
you should have seen her milky way
that girl is a space cadette
her brain is wet
from wearing to much aqua net
a satellite dish
no tv set
that girl is a space cadette
louie louie said she stole all of his dope
took off in his saucer and left a note
it read:
klaatu barada nikto man
a wop be bop a lu bop a wop bam
that girl is a space cadette
her brain is wet
from wearing to much aqua net
a satellite dish
no tv set
that girl is a space cadette

Zombie Moon

we fell in love beneath the zombie moon
you were falling apart and i was too
draggin' behind a little piece of me and you
you took my heart and ate my brain
so that I should never know any pain
then I went and did the same for you
if a bus should run over us
i suppose it wouldn't hurt as much
as if i had to walk this world without you
all alone beneath the zombie moon
when we held hands
at the half dead dance
i never felt more alive
when you said give me your head
together forever beneath the zombie sky
we fell in love beneath the zombie moon
you were falling apart and I was too
draggin' behind a little piece of me and you

well little richard put some lipstick on a microphone
and a new york station brought it in on home
lou said it, muddy said it
chuck berry too
shake your hips play a riff
get that record with the zipper
ROCK RULES!
I was hanging out with my friend DK
He was spinnin’ records like the last DJ
I said now isn’t it a pity rock n roll is dead
He kicked me in the teeth then he punched me in head
ROCK RULES!
One, well keep your dirty hair long
Two, and write a one chord song
Three, yeah perfect your cool
Four, then break all the rules
I was walkin’ up the street with a broken guitar
when I got pulled over by a cadillac car
“hey white boy why’d you steal all my licks?”
cuz you’re the greatest coolerator
and thank you for the lift
ROCK RULES!
One, learn how to hold a guitar
Two, find a girl with a car
Three, forget that record deal
Four, buy a reel to reel

Asking me to choose just one song on this album as my favorite track is so unfair. But life is unfair. So I chose one at random. That said, if rock 'n' roll is your life, get The Peppermint Kicks. Your life will improve!
