(UNTITLED 1975 LYRICS) Astrio was from a planet blue He spoke of love for me and you He could set your mind ablaze With sparkling eyes and visionary care He stood like a remnant from an outbreak past Wore a ring in his ear and boy was he fast Had hair like a rocket's nest But when he cheered he gave his best He made a noise that stirred our souls Got us moving out of control When Astrio moved he changed our tunes The filled his arms with needles bare Shot him up and cut his hair Tied him to an evil plot Told the kids that he was not their man He gave us life and dealt us love Sold us out for the great above He was On a starry night in mid-December Astrio cried you might remember Live it to the end Share it with a friend Deny me not Cause now you're caught I'll be with you in the thought Beyond FORMING Rip them down Hold them up Tell them that I'm your gun Pull my trigger I am bigger than...

NO GOD I've read every book in the Bible Story And all it ever brought me was another worry Don't want God, give me a jury See - there's no God to make up my mind No God givin me time I peered in every window where I saw a cross But I could never see just what they saw In that piece of plaster on the wall See - there's no God to fear No God to hear your cries I'd pray to anything out there If only I was given some sign to bear But while I wait I'm gonna live See - there's no God to watch over me No God for human beings When I was small I obeyed his every word Handed down to me by some thoughtful blur But now I am as big as he See - no God bigger than I No God frightening me In my image I made he him and I gave him life So he burned me, the creature has risen and I Think you can see just what it is that's drivin Me around round We are the church we are good and we've got your millions God knows we should CIRCLE ONE I'm Darby Crash A social blast Chaotic master I'm Darby Crash Your meccas gash Prophetic stature I'm Darby Crash A one way match Demonic flasher Deep, deep, deep, in my eyes There's a round, round, round, circle of lives It's a tame, tame, tame sort of world Where you're caught, bought, taught, as it twirls I'm Darby Crash A social blast Chaotic master Snap, crackle, pop Snap, crackle, pop Snap, crackle, pop in here Snap, crackle, pop Snap, crackle, pop Snap, crackle, pop out there MANIMAL I came into this world like a puzzled panther Wanting to be caged But something stood in the way I was never quite tamed I crossed the pasths of right and wrong And saw them take their toll I saw armies that marched And like animals they crawled Evolution is a process too slow To save my soul But I've got this creature on my back And it just won't let go If I am only an animal Then I can do no wrong But they say I'm something better So I've gotta hold on DRAGON LADY You walk to the temple on the boulevard You know the way in cause you're the son of God She opens the door with a sardonic glance You drop to the floor making your plans It's a real cool parody That's my dragon lady In a low society with no variety She lives a tongue in cheek dream There's something in her eyes that nature denied She's a whirlwind creature of cultural ties A preacher of schemes and self denial She talks up a storm with news and belial To live in Brahman tragedy Driven it seems by fantasies A life like this is sad to see A smile kept quite in reverie The clock on the mantle hands stop crossed The rug on the floors a resting place for the dust The talk of the town yet she's never been seen A loving relation with a well trained machine	STRANGE NOTES Billy Druids face is marble He keeps every thought in it's place He lets the days turn tomorrow Someone's always walking on his grave He wears the linens just like Garbo And talks at a saturnine pace Listening to the strange notes marvel Only giving what it takes It's a sad man's world And for Billy it's sure to crown Dragging beauty into darkness Inflicting a pale white frown And the matter that runs Through Billy's head Is too concerned to fail WHAT WE DO IS SECRET Standing in the line we're abberations Defects in a defects' mirror And we've been here all the time real fixations Hidden deep in the furor What we do is secret- secret! We're influential guys for the D.C.C. We can lie so perfect And we've got a party line to every call It's a very short circuit What we do is secret- secret! Licenced to drill with the torch in our lives Walking on shallow water Progressed to the point of no distinction Dementia of a higher order What we do is secret- secret! COMMUNIST EYES I'm looking through Communist eyes I'm seeing planes in bloodshot skies I see the flag of a working people Who conceal the lies in the stars and sickle It's a double edge Communist eyes - c'mon inside I can't ever find the way out Communist eyes - lost inside I never get a day out I'm looking through communist eyes All I see is an old man's alibi There's a world outside but I'm unaware I open my books but the pages stare It's a double edge Communist eyes - all so blind I can't even play the game now I'm living through Communist times I wave my flag and hold my head high I can feel the glory of my comrades in masses But I'm waiting for the day when this madness passes It's a double edge LAND OF TREASON Land of treason - waste no reason we are breathing fire We're packs of dogs - we're enemies of men we are not desired Our faces show - we've grown cold but have not conspired Old hearts gone - the suture's on mother nations mired I like a receptacle for the chosen dead we find our bodies clawed And with the scent of death, we find that we are not so very awed Loyalties burned- the words are blurred overturn your own Walk the dogs and watch the doors have your other stone Stop the toys that march disordered calculate the thrones Feel the pulse descending decaying hallowed tomes In the starving sense you worship the nations of debris You wear a cost of sewage that you've never even seen The time is now- the vicious here a stolen dinner code The licence of the savage land that you've always sold So bite the hand that needs you and bless another coal The virus never issues from a cotton so very old As the lights come down and the guilty blaze; another sort of road You wash your hands and start to climb the ladder that you stole Slip the latch- and spin the sword the money lords are poor Push the tank- that rolls downhill their sense of doom absorbed Still the cat that breaks the night tie him to the core Chase the virtue that believes that what's right is scored It's a senseless cash in of right for right what's wrong is never gone And left is just a bastion for the fools golden dawn RICHIE DAGGER'S CRIME I'm Richie Dagger I can stomp and swagger I can take on all your heroes I'm Richie Dagger I'm young and I'm haggard The boy that nobody owns He sits in his corner like a child despised A crazy sort of cast comes over his eyes That's Richie Dagger's crime He's the sort of boy who was never much loved His idea of fun was society's grudge That's Richie Dagger's crime His life was a mess And his friends weren't quite the best But he was satisfied That's Richie Dagger's crime Suck me in and spit me out Devour me in haste He could set your mind ablaze With sparkling eyes and visionary case He stood like the remnant of an outbreak past Wore something in his ear and Boy was he sass AMERICAN LEATHER Looking for a way out I put my foot out of line Really like to break-out I feel so confined American leather The poinsous members Not alone-not together Their American leather Saw you on a dark road Brought myself along Got a sense of conflict But I know what's wrong I know that kinda feeling So I built my place up high But you'll never find me kneeling Cause I'm too occupied OUR WAY Clara would be proud to know us We've taken it to the end Where the grey turns to black And the white just begins We live every day on the water The night just kills the pain From the suffering that was We are no stronger - We are dust Down in the crowd we're down on our knees Wanna get out but don't wanna suceed We're the red-eyed legends of the night before We're the dead mind babies of the TV war Living in a rectory of sin Against the current we all swim Cageless wonders of sometime when The paper lion's chase will end WE MUST BLEED It's Sunday and the streets aren't clear The traffic's screaming but we can't hear The sounds.. the metals.. driving us mad We must bleed We must bleed The crash as the bottle breaks Flashes its will through my veins The pain.. the colours.. making me sane.. We must bleed We must bleed I'm not one, I'm two I want out now Now now now now MEDIA BLITZ I've got television I've got supervision No decisons for you Media blitz - Media Blitz Immediate hits - We rule Don't steal your eyes off the TV screen Can you realize we're what we've seen Take an injection from the mad machine Don't read the papers read between the lines We're vision rapers and we seed the signs You'll play your part in the master mind We feed the science We deal in riots We play by ideal time We're a gov'ment fix All social convicts Watch the idle rhymes Bleed your heart out-that's all it's worth Before you ever start - we planned it first Forget the truth - accept your curse CAUGHT IN MY EYE Through your dark eyes You can feel my Every sin When I walk right Into a straight line This world of yours I got you caught in my eye, again You're the fall guy In the corner Of my gloom It feels like Everything I see Is nothing new I got you caught in my eye, again There's a door there That opens Without you And the door lies With its open keys To my room Flames of the torch light Fill my thighs And I crave fulfill And I consume 'em But I don't give got you caught in my eye, again	THE OTHER NEWEST ONE I feel your body's close to mine I hear your breath and mine in time I know I'm nothing but it's you that I need I touch your skin and it starts to feed You're not the first you're not the last Another day another crash My eyes meet yours in secret glance Our bodies look in ancient stance You whisper something and I know it's good You're acting crazy just like I knew you would Embracing my life between your thighs We will perform in the deadly skies Reducing my mind to endless nights You send my dreams to their demise Realized by your last breath I take your hair in to my hands I pull it tight to fit your demands I feed my body in to yours I know it's right cause that's my soul you stir LET'S PRETEND Out on the streets what ya lookin for That thing in your bed's just another whore That tear in your eye's not a tear at all For that girl that you touch you could never fall That stream in your mind it's a tearin sty Let's pretend you're vicious Let's pretend You're cool Let's pretend suspicious Let's pretend you're fools Your leather's tight but you wear it full 'Gether is right but you gotta be cool You cut your wrists but you don't complain You change your mind but you still feel the same To dream ain't your kind just another lie Sell us a story that we can believe Spend your dollars on pills for relief Love is a future that you just can't see Standing answers to questions are free Scream in your boredom life's just to die Dive in problems just like stealin' a fix Is your life to live or is it for kicks Kick dirt in the faces of angry dream men Stand on your chairs and spell don't let me in Don't stand in the light cuz you know you can't cry THE SLAVE It starts in your head And moves to your hands Your body starts shakin' Cuz you're in demand You do the slave to the beat Of the neuro-sutra can can... You're lashed 'twixt the stars With your ice and motor cars: You do the slave to the beat Of the neuro-sutra can can Oh yea! Yea! Pull out the Zen I've got a Buddhist principle in my hand Your life seems wasted your bodies laced in Don't stop now you've got to trace it... You put your hands together Writhe in the shackle You twist your body round Till it starts to crackle: You do the slave to the beat Of the neuro-sutra can can... Right here right now shake it in and out now Lights on off now make it spin and fight now SHUT DOWN Let me touch the tips of inculcated desire And brush the fettered veil away Shut down in the depths I lay... If you want nothin' then I've got nothin' I'm your annihilation man Lemme get control I've got your minds Now I want Your souls Lemme get control I've got your minds Now I want control, I need control... If you want somethin' then I've got somethin' I'm your annihilation man... CAT'S CLAUSE Down to the feline den I crawl to join the feline force that waits I strike a sort of katsy stance as they look into my cat-like face From behind their sable masks Not a purring sound is heard Their luminous eyes catch my every word; Tonight's the night the tables turn You've had your chance and now at last You've been found guilty by the order of the cat You've changed our laws and now because of that Your going to live in the claws of a cat Talons on and operating We're sure that you're cooperating Straighten up that feline face And put your footsie pads in place Practice up your katsy glance And imitate my cat like stance Tonight's the night the cats return We'll corner them by the alley wall Bite and scratch them until they fall Lap their blood and steel their young Finish them off just for fun Tonight's the night the cats will run Mommy I hear the cat at the door I think he's cold will you let him in? Lay them out and leave our mark A cat scratch angle above the heart On we'll go to another house To play the game of cat and mouse Why do you plead when we don't care? We're the cats and we don't scare You've had your turn and now it's ours We're the cats and we've got claws LION'S SHARE All he sees are death masked stars The lion's world is cold and sharp All he wants is much too far So he stalks thw roads of token cars He snarls at winds that mean no harm And takes the thorns in perfect form A broken ideal rides inside the tortured lion's denim hide I want the lion's share Gather up the broken chairs Feed my mind unholy tests Do me in I need to rest He sleeps when nothing's in the air Eats the scraps of some that care He strains the right to overbear Secrest hidden in the liar Pauses long enough to dream Nightmares push the glowing scream His shadowed eyes show the toll Something only lions know THROW IT AWAY I've been looking, looking so far You've been this thing, listening so hard I've been talking, stalking all night You've been thinking, thinking I'm right I've been missing, listing some parts I've been falling, calling it art We've been lurking, working for clues We've been whistling, this thing for you Trying to make some kinda sense out of it Throw it away throw it away Trying to make some kinda sense out of it Throw it away throw it away Don't know what I really got Don't know if I even thought NOW I HEAR THE LAUGHTER Walkin' down the long road Ran into a strange man Said he thought he'd borrowed Bought himself a game plan Shook my head and nodded That's all I ever plotted That's all they ever wanted That's all they ever saw then Pulled music together Laughter forever Now I hear the laughter NOT ALL RIGHT Feeling not all right My time's in a sand-slide So hard not to unwind Find some wall to climb Capsules cover the signs My thoughts in a land mine Some lights burn too bright My nights hold too tight Stowed away outta breath Won't wait to pass the test Too late to answer lies Don't even need to try Livin' in a fury Life's kinda blurry Dyin' in a hurry Stories kinda lurid No time to worry Gonna hang the jury Broke up kinda early All the bribes are working All the scribes are working GOING DOWN Sifting through apocalypse All I want's to catch a glimpse Just another broken day My whole world's gone away I feel the ceilings coming down I watch the deadmen run around Trying hard to change the course 'cause they know what's best for us Your whole world's coming down Close to the bottom - close to the sound Your whole world's let me down Drag me down to the under ground Sifting through apocalypse Already new it would come to this Just another game to play How many ways have I got to play Hear them running faster now They wear the hoove's of Satan's crowd You came to visit for just one day But now that you're here You're here to stay MY TUNNEL I'm crawling through my tunnel When everything's dim where does one go? I crawl into my tunnel It's kinda shakey, may even crumble I'm talking to a lame man when you're maimed, where does one go? I fall into my tunnel I'm walking into the jungle When everything is right, where does one go? I walk into the jungle Sometimes I run, sometimes I stumble I'm talking to a saved man When you are saved, where does one go? Back into the jungle Out, out, out of the tunnel Back, back to the jungle All lyrics written by Darby Crash The Germs records available from: Slash Records, USA
