| + | |
− | man in the front got a sinister grin, careen down highway 666
| + | |
− | we wanna go, crush the slow, as the pitchfork bends the needles grow
| + | |
− | my arms are wheels, my legs are wheels, my blood is pavement
| + | |
− | we're gonna ride to the abbey of thelema, to the abbey of thelema
| + | |
− | blood is pavement
| + | |
− | the grill in the front is my sinister grin, bugs in my teeth make me sick sick sick
| + | |
− | the objects may be larger than they appear in the mirror
| + | |
− | my arms are wheels, my legs are wheels, my blood is pavement
| + | |
− | we're gonna ride to the abbey of thelema, to the abbey of thelema
| + | |
− | blood is pavement
| + | |
− | "when you ride you're ridden, when you ride, you're ridden"
| + | |
− | i am fueled by filth and fury
| + | |
− | do what I will, I will hurry there, there
| + | |
− | my arms are wheels, my legs are wheels, my blood is pavement
| + | |
− | blood is pavement

− | == Trivia == | + | ==Lyrics== |
− | * The title of the song is a reference to the Mystery Machine from the animated series ''Scooby-Doo''. Imagery from the cartoon was prevalent in the early years of the band, having been used in various flyers among other similar cartoon characters.
| + | man in the front got a sinister grin, careen down highway 666 |
− | * "''We're gonna ride to the abbey of thelema''" is a reference to Aleister Crowley's Abbey of Thelema, which was used as the headquarters from which the doctrines of Thelema would be spread throughout the world.
| + | we wanna go, crush the slow, as the pitchfork bends the needles grow |
− | * The sample, "Go home to your mother! Doesn't she ever watch you!? Tell her this isn't some Communist day-care center! Tell your mother I hate her! Tell your mother I hate you!" is spoken by Mink Stole from the John Waters 1977 film ''Desperate Living''. After this, a telephone can be heard ringing very quietly for several minutes, which is then followed an irate answering machine message, presumably from a parent of a Manson fan saying "I want my son off of your mailing list, I have already contacted the post office about your pornographic material that is being received in the mail, my next stop is my attorney. I do not want this number called anymore, and I do not want anything delivered to my address. If I receive anything else from this band, or this group, my next phone call will be my attorney, and you will be contacted. Thank you and good-bye!"
