Now the spells are cast there’s nothing left to say
You cut my tongue out - with every step of the way
Oh my kingdom - my kingdom for a hearse or two
I was so good at being alone until I ran into you
And did you want to try and dig my grave
Let the witchcraft and the chants begin
Light up the candles for the conjuring
Dig a hole from the land of the blood to the west
I’d walk a mile of broken glass
Just to watch you undress
And did you want to try and dig my grave
Now every morning brings a dream of death
Tried to save it all for my very last breath
This next trick - next trick will deceive yr eye
Slip the chain off my wrist on my very first try

Gail Russell
04:41

I knew It was over on the day that I saw her
A silver screen actress gone undiscovered
She’s walking on water
She’s emerging from a dream
A ghost without a haunt
Her insides bursting at the seams
I said oh
Please don’t look my way
Oh years ago they simply tried to burn her at the stake
She said - ‘I gave my life to Jesus Christ at such an early age
But the lord don’t give as much as he truly takes away
And now I’m never gonna crumble under anybody's gaze’
I said oh
Please don’t look my way
She was just standing there in her vampire lingerie
Oh this’ll be the last time that I bail you out of jail
And breathing plumes of spirits staring out the window pane
She said - ‘My daddy always told me I'm the reason it rains…’
Well I knew there was trouble in those Gail Russell eyes
And the scars along her wrists piled high with cemetery bites
As that long black flag of death well It Just waved into the Night
She said ‘…these crucifix blues - they never ask for your advice.’
I said oh
Please don’t look my way
Please don’t look my way

Fixed

All the Street lights fade as I walk by
I sucked all the colour through the hole in yr eye
With bad luck and Yesterday's grease in my hair
I can fix anything - but I couldn't fix her
I've got a cold death rattle It can feel so cruel
I've a got a beautiful satin lined coffin for two
You know they caught us making out in the back of a hearse
I can fix anything - couldn't fix her
She had a mouth like a scar and broken wrists
I had a hundred-one days of amnesia stress
And on our wedding day it rained black tar
I can fix anything - I couldn't fix her
I can fix anything
I couldn’t fix her

I'm Losing All My Dreams
04:52
|
|||
Like a dead comedian or a villain come undressed
Spending all my time sleeping in the west
Until my skull pressed firmly to the bed
Into a dream reserved strictly for the dead
I'll go
Sleep's the mortar in which everything gets crushed
Mixed with memory and dread, desire and lust
And I'm only slightly sad to cause you all this pain
Cause some mistakes they take a whole lifetime to pay
(And since there’s no witness to any of my crimes
How could anybody say I'm truly not divine)
Now I'm losing all my dreams
Let the morning come
Well I learned it all but I learned it all too late
Now I'm too drunk to be afraid of my own fate
And I got to tell you with my last dying laugh
All the things I used to hate - now they don't seem so bad
(And since there's no witness to any of my crimes
How could anybody say I'm truly not divine)
Now I'm losing all my dreams
Let the morning come

I left a book of ghosts on the bed
I had to start all over again
My minds a hall of mirrors
But I can tell the scenery ends
And oh honey we love yr hair
Everyone loves the names you wear
It's such a curious feel
To see a wolf reject its fur
You took a cobra for a tongue
So you can kill us with your song
The way you hold that mouth
You never laugh yr Jaw just crawls
The desperation hangs so thick
I can't stand your siren schtick
So when I walk in the room
I really hope it makes you sick
I know my breaths held too tight to scream
I’m drilling holes in my skull - I hope my spirit can leave
I know my heads screwed too tight to sleep
I’m drilling holes in my skull I hope my spirit can leave
Speeding in a haunted car
I can't believe I got this far
How could I have some love to spend
When every fuck is for revenge
That's the way the story fits
Around yr silent movie hips
I’m at the end of the reel
I guess yr blood is too damn rich
I know my breaths held too tight to scream
I’m drilling holes in my skull - I hope my spirit can leave
I know my heads screwed too tight to sleep
I’m drilling holes in my skull I hope my spirit can leave
Oh you can never come back home
You can never come back home

Skull Beneath The Smile
04:50
|
|||
Well I cut the devils head off but you know it grew right back
My insides turned to jelly like a cave of nervous bats
I was levitating - hovering around just like the dead
And that skull beneath the smile was always living in my head
It’s all divining with my fingers and my broken x-ray eye
Remember me to them before I die inside yr mind
There’s no money in the cure - no there’s no diamonds in the mine
Just a magnifying glass above the skull beneath the smile
Yr crucifix is hanging upside down upon my wall
And those bible girls keep coming round and knocking on my door
I’ve been covered up in cobwebs - been exiled for the last time
And I tell you I can recognise that skull beneath the smile
So what’s the use in drinking poison?
What’s the point in endless dreams?
Yr sufferings just echoing a terrible reprise
You can try to fight against it - fill your belly full of bees
But you know that sticky blood was never truly worth the squeeze
And dreaded though she was she had to choose a sacrifice
I was drinking from a jar as I handed you the knife
Are you gonna leave me baby?
Are you gonna take your Life?
Are you gonna cut a hole down to the skull beneath the smile?
Yr crucifix is hanging upside down upon my wall
And those Bible girls keep coming round to try and steal my soul
I’ve been tangled up in spiderwebs - cast out for the last time
And That skull beneath the smile was always living in my mind
So what’s the use in drinking poison - what’s the point in endless dreams?
What’s the use in drinking poison?
What’s the point in endless dreams?

Swallowed Tooth

In yr drug store makeup
Breathing in the smoke of burning hearts
In the church of sleep
Serving grief til everybody dies
I know you speak in riddles
I know you think the world’s yr pyro thrill
Crosses in yr eyes
But ain’t it strange how the sea is never still
In yr congregation
Slipping into any skin that fits
Everything’s just tightening
You can’t go on but you know y’ll never quit
See the looming shadows
Take a good long look and bid farewell
It doesn’t mean a thing to me
It doesn’t matter if we all go straight to Hell
Can you feel my hands around yr neck
While we wait here for our turn
I’d even set myself on fire
If I get to watch you burn
And we could all stop digging
If just for once you could only tell the truth
Hidden from the eye
Wrapped up in flesh like a swallowed tooth
Over towns of widows
Fresh blood prescribed for yr decline
We can see the guillotine
Like a tattooed noose along yr spine
Can you feel my hands around yr neck
While we wait here for our turn
I’d even set myself on fire
If I get to watch you burn

Exorcist Blues
08:23

There’s no love for the driver of yr spiritual wheel
No silver for the bandage where the bruises never did heal
Take off yr dress now honey - and let’s begin
I’m gonna shake those demons right outta ya
And I’ll drown ‘em under my skin
Everyone’s a broken frame with the oil leaking out of the scene
Frozen ashes - hopes deleted
Reflected from inside a screen
Go ahead call a priest
Or conjure up some lies to cover all your sin
I know you’d love to call the doctor
But the doctor’s never in
In the hour of the wolf
We all bless our lucky teeth
There’s no grace for the carver
Once you’ve seen an animal dream
Play that song at my funeral
Play that song at the snake factory
Play that song at the witch trials
As we all come apart at the seams
The ghosts in my blood
(feels like a house falling over a hill)
I don’t believe you ever had them
I don’t believe you ever will
Don’t that sun look good
Casting shadows all across your cruel shoes
Don’t it feel so fine
When the bats crash into the moon

Kreeps Seattle, Washington
While Dazed and Confused described Kreeps as "the best of the dressed in black bunch", Loud and Quiet magazine hailed Kreeps' doomed surf pop as "the best soundtrack to a Pulp Fiction that was never made or David Lynch's next feature". A real best-kept secret for longer than most bands sustain entire careers, Kreeps are an enigma wrapped up in a ball of dark, dark wool. ... more
