The Legendary Pink Dots - Hellsville lyrics
[The Legendary Pink Dots - Hellsville lyrics]
"Oh, by the way, I hope
Those pictures come out boy
Everyone's not going to believe
How you did it
They're going to think it's special effects!"
Fixing on a lonely star on 4 Avengers morning
On the bloodstained steps of Hope, forgotten
Carrying our cross like guilty
Children waiting 'til
Our father's home He'll crack our backs
He'll break our bones
His iron rod will comb the hair
That stiffens on our spines
We walk defeated in a line
We wear disease across our eyes
Our one release is in the fiery furnace
Take us swiftly, take us now!
To Hellsville
(Bells peal! Roll the barrel, down the pills)
But still we'll never die
'Cause we can never pay enough
Our sweet Lord may be oh-so-merciful
But he likes to play things tough
And HELL is where the action is
They came from lonely stars
In search of wholesome entertainment
We're the stars, we're the stars!
We're the stars that line the stage
The attraction of the ages
Buy a ticket, feel our pain
God, it's outrageous!
It's a scream in Hellsville
Those pictures come out boy
Everyone's not going to believe
How you did it
They're going to think it's special effects!"
Fixing on a lonely star on 4 Avengers morning
On the bloodstained steps of Hope, forgotten
Carrying our cross like guilty
Children waiting 'til
Our father's home He'll crack our backs
He'll break our bones
His iron rod will comb the hair
That stiffens on our spines
We walk defeated in a line
We wear disease across our eyes
Our one release is in the fiery furnace
Take us swiftly, take us now!
To Hellsville
(Bells peal! Roll the barrel, down the pills)
But still we'll never die
'Cause we can never pay enough
Our sweet Lord may be oh-so-merciful
But he likes to play things tough
And HELL is where the action is
They came from lonely stars
In search of wholesome entertainment
We're the stars, we're the stars!
We're the stars that line the stage
The attraction of the ages
Buy a ticket, feel our pain
God, it's outrageous!
It's a scream in Hellsville
