Lyrics
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
- This comes in at the end and its screamed by peggy:
Go home to your mother! doesn't she ever want you? tell her, this isn't some communist daycare center! tell your mother i hate her! tell your mother i, hate, you!
- this comes in after the telephone stops ringing (33 seconds before the whole piece ends)
I want my son off of your mailing list. I have already contacted the post office ofr your pornographic material that has been received in the mail.
