Yesferatu hears when you call out for him in your slumber
Whenever you are tempted he senses your psychic bond
Say his name three times he will rise up right behind you
Wrap you in his cloak, a puff of smoke, and you’ll both disappear
Yesferatu knows what you need without even asking
He sees all your secrets and speaks with the beast inside
There is such a hunger that must be satisfied
There is no desire he’ll deny so just send him an invite
Way back when in simpler times
He was living in a castle Transylvanian style
He got sick of sleeping in crypts
Now he lives with seven girlfriends down in Beverly Hills
Yesferatu goes for the kill when you show him weakness
He was built to thrill, he’ll fulfill all your deepest needs
With the scent of blood he’s already on the hunt
The rabbit tries to run but then hot breath on her neck makes her legs limp
Way back when in simpler times
He was living in a castle Transylvanian style
He got sick of sleeping in crypts
Now he lives with seven girlfriends down in Beverly Hills
Yesferatu knows you like no one has ever before
As much as you may pray you’re afraid no one else will compare
You will always hate him but you find yourself waiting
You leave your window open only hoping he will someday float in
Way back when in simpler times
He was living in a castle Transylvanian style
He got sick of sleeping in crypts
Now he lives with seven girlfriends down in Beverly Hills
Way back when in simpler times
He was living in a castle Transylvanian style
He got sick of sleeping in crypts
Now he lives with seven girlfriends down in Beverly Hills

Nothing personal
But you can go to hell
Oh oh
Trying to be liked
What a waste of time
Oh oh
I don’t have the space
For you in my brain
Oh oh
Won’t make myself small
Go ahead and choke
Oh oh
I don’t give a fuck what you think
I am what I am
I won’t apologize for it
Whatever I do I see it through to the end
I’m an animal
One thing on my mind
I know what I like
Oh oh
I go for what I want
You can sit and watch
Oh oh
I don’t give a fuck what you think
I am what I am
I won’t apologize for it
Whatever I do I see it through to the end
I’m an animal
There’s no need to hide in plain sight
There’s no one around for miles and miles
I am all alone
And I don’t mind at all
Oh oh
I don’t give a fuck what you think
I am what I am
I won’t apologize for it
Whatever I do I see it through to the end
I’m an animal
I don’t give a fuck what you think
I paint by numbers and nothing ever comes of it
I spill some color and something lovely hits
I’m an animal

Seems like once I get a taste
Then the flavor starts to fade away
Just as soon as I get high
I’m no longer satisfied by it
I keep pushing the limit
I get a little carried away
I can’t seem to help it
Nothing hits the way it should
Hell is dull
The devil tells me I’m no fun
Cuz when he pokes me I just shrug
I must admit that I feel numb
I get bored with what I have
I need something more extravagant
If I’ve had it once before
Then I want a higher dose, honey
I have got a blister
On my trigger finger
Honey, hit me harder
I can’t seem to give it up
Hell is dull
The devil tells me I’m no fun
Cuz when he pokes me I just shrug
I must admit that I feel numb
Hell is dull
The devil tells me I’m no fun
Cuz when he pokes me I just shrug
I must admit that I feel numb
Hell is dull
The devil tells me I’m no fun
Cuz when he pokes me I just shrug
I must admit that I feel numb

You try so hard to impress me
Everything you do you aim to please
You overthink it til it's dead
You plan your moves in your head
It’s over now before it begins.
I don't want nobody who wants me
I don't need nobody who needs me
Please don't make it easy
Easy just won't please me
I don't want nobody who wants me
You're so afraid that you’ll chase me away
You talk too much and you give it away
I don't want to hear about your vocation
I don't need to understand your motivation
You smother me so I can't breathe
I don't want nobody who wants me
I don't need nobody who needs me
Please don't make it easy
Easy just won't please me
I don't want nobody who wants me
You take yourself so seriously
You get upset at the slightest thing
Every time I try to have a little fun
You turn it into a serious discussion
You find a way to find a problem
I don't want nobody who wants me
I don't need nobody who needs me
Please don't make it easy
Easy just won't please me
I don't want nobody who wants me
I don’t want nobody
Nobody
I don’t need nobody
Nobody
I don’t want nobody who wants me

Nothing matters much to me anymore
I’d rather be the one lying on the floor
Would you hold it against me if I walked away?
I've been lounging around here for several days
You thought your innocence
Was something limitless
I like to ride around
With the bad boys on the town
I'm getting out of here
I'm gone and I'm never coming back
I'm giving it one more round
I'm giving it one more chance
Life is meaningless and totally out of control
What would it matter if I let everything go?
What would we find if we went over there?
Nothing, I tell you, it's the same as here
You thought that your desire
Could never expire
But baby it's like a fire
You've got to keep it alive
I'm getting out of here
I'm gone and I'm never coming back
I'm giving it one more round
I'm giving it one more chance
I'm sick of being at home
I sit and stare at the door
I wanna see something
I've never seen before
I'm getting out of here
I'm gone and I'm never coming back
I'm giving it one more round
I'm giving it one more chance

I hear the call from the other side
I slip below the water line
Dark visions dance inside my mind
Just like the skirt around your thighs
Take me away
Tell me a story
I won’t be back
Til the morning
When the sun goes down I feel the beat
With the full moon out I hit the street
Dark forests burn with umber light
Wild children dance with foreign gods
Take me away
Tell me a story
I won’t be back
Til the morning
Take me away
Tell me a story
I won’t be back
Til the morning
Take me away
Tell me a story
I won’t be back
Til the morning
Take me away
Tell me a story

Mysterium Tremens
04:05

I am a brain in a box
Having thoughts of my thoughts
I feel my muscles move
Just like a tiger’s do
All the fish inside me
Are swimming peacefully
I hear geometry
In every harmony
January comes in
Just like an inhalation
Then June is exhaled out
Then it comes back around
The serpent and the moon
Revolve but never move
Always in the womb
Turning inside you
Every morning I wake up
Flip on the six o’clock news
I get the strangest feeling
We live on a paper moon
Every painting has a frame
Every actor has a stage
Every story has a page
The dreamer is awake
One eye is sleeping fast
It is a looking glass
Alice never left
She likes to reflect
Every morning I wake up
Flip on the six o’clock news
I get the strangest feeling
We live on a paper moon
Every morning I wake up
Slip into my shoes
I get the strangest feeling
We live on a paper moon
Every morning I wake up
Take a look at the room
I get the strangest feeling
We live on a paper moon

Frog
Three toed fry
Vagrant minstrel boy
Courting the wet nights
You sing come to me my lovers
Come to me to lie
Come forward all you lovers
This chorus needs your voice
You’ve got your band of brothers
Your polyrhythmic jive
You wicked band of brothers
You all want love tonight
Dog
You guard the house
You watch the door
From the threshold
Something’s in the shadows
You can feel it in your bones
What’s come inside our circle
Tell me, tell me all
So strike your silver tongue
A velvet tremolo
A warning to the unwelcome
Prime your rank throat
I’ve got six legs in a row
I know how to use them all
Six legs in a row
I know how to use them all
I go where I want to
I go where looks good
I go where I want to
I go where looks good

Bad Karma

I’m rolling rocks on my tongue
I’m pistol whipping with my licks
I’m picking pieces out of my teeth
I ate my lunch
A loaded gun
Now I’ve got bullets in my spit
Kali Yuga Kama Sutra
Cult of Karma California
Quetzalcoatl cancer chakra
Harikari hallelujah
Holy Roman Holiday
We’re going down into the Uncanny Valley
The dream is dead
Long live the new dream
Gotta be the one who saves you
Gotta be
I gotta be the one
Gotta be the one who saves you
Gotta be
I gotta be the one
We’re 21st century children
This dimension has shifted up
You move an inch and your destiny is different
Let your left brain know not what your right brain does
Inebriation inspiration
Simulacra simulation
Evolution revelation
Superego constellation
Holy Roman Holiday
We’re going down into the Uncanny Valley
The dream is dead
Long live the new dream
Gotta be the one who saves you
Gotta be
I gotta be the one
Gotta be the one who saves you
Gotta be
I gotta be the one
In Season 2 the stakes are even higher
The stars align and the circle is complete
Your dreams of violence are all that you have
Destroy the force of nature
The girls are in heat
Gotta be the one who saves you
Gotta be
I gotta be the one
Gotta be the one who saves you
Gotta be
I gotta be the one
Gotta be the one
Gotta be the one
Gotta be the one
Gotta be the

Say My Name

You were the first
Of us to go
You led the way
You always did
I’ll never hear
Your voice again
Feel the callouses
On your hands
The ripples on the water
Begin to fade away
The sound becomes a silence
(Say my name)
The days with you are behind me
What is left is a life
A little less than what it was before
I miss your voice
The songs you’d sing are echoing
Your spirit lives
A melody
In my memory
My children won’t
Ever know
You won’t be there
As they grow
You won’t get
To sing to them
Put on a show
A little dance
I’ll tell them all the stories
Of their Papa Bear
You’ll sing and dance in their eyes
(Say my name)
The days with you are behind me
What is left is a life
A little less than what it was before
I miss your voice
The songs you’d sing are echoing
Your spirit lives
A melody
In my memory
Take it easy
Don’t look backward
Don’t give up until it’s done
Take it easy
Go adventure
Go and get a bloody nose
The days with you are behind me
What is left is a life
A little less than what it was before
I miss your voice
The songs you’d sing are echoing
Your spirit lives
A melody
In my memory
Say my name
Say my name
Say my name
Say my name
