Cultosaurus Erectus

Keep goin' getting higher
New worlds waiting in the sky
Escape the feasting and the hunger
Not the monsters in our minds

Got our hands on a ship
And stole away into the night
The four of us and pasha dear
She to steer and we to fight

Fed up with rules and regulations
No more laughter left on earth
Outer space our one salvation
May god help us in our search

We fled so fast that we grew younger
Put the ship on cruise control
We all did our best with pasha
But not as good as good ol' joe

Monsters, monsters, monsters.....in the night
Monsters, monsters, monsters.....in black and white
Monsters, monsters, monsters.....out of control
Monsters, monsters, monsters.....when you're alone
Monsters, monsters, monsters.....feed on themselves
Monsters, monsters, monsters.....on the road to hell

Love never should have entered
It was never in the plan
We were finally going to have her
And let joe be damned!

Joe awoke from a stupor
It was clear something was wrong
He rushed in and found us with her
And in his rage he aimed his gun

One shot and it was over
Pasha smiled and then was gone...

I have this feeling that my luck is none too good
This sword here at my side don't act the way it should
Keeps calling me its master, but i feel like its slave
Hauling me faster and faster to an early, early grave
And it howls! it howls like hell!

I'm told it's my duty to fight against the law
That wizardry's my trade and i was born to wade through gore
I just want to be a lover, not a red-eyed screaming ghoul
I wish it'd picked another to be its killing tool

Black blade, black blade
Forged a billion years ago
Black blade, black blade
Killing so its power can grow

It's death from the beginning to the end of time
And i'm the cosmic champion and i hold a mystic sign
And the whole world's dying and the burden's mine
And the black sword keeps on killing 'til the end of time

Black blade, black blade
Bringing chaos to the world we know
Black blade, black blade
And it's using me to kill my friends
Black blade, black blade
Getting stronger so the world will end
Black blade, black blade
Forcing my mind to bend and bend

I am the black blade
Forged a million billion years ago
My cosmic soul it goes on for eternity
Carving out destiny
Bringing in the lords of chaos
Bringing up the beasts of hades
Sucking out the souls of heroes
Laying waste to knights and ladies
My master is my slave
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
You poor fucking humans

Blood of bat, tail of newt
Wing of metal, bone of steel
Vial of health, flask of pain
Staff of life or poison rain

If he really thinks we're the devil
Then let's send him to hell

Fast food, fast cars
Fast women, movie stars
Time of trouble, time of trial
Turn to memphis, pray awhile

If he really thinks we're the devil
Then let's send him to hell

Anxious mothers, bums in the street
Jackals in waistcoats, men in sheets
Purple mountains, waves of grain
Grace of god, thy will be done

If he really thinks we're the devil
Then let's send him to hell

In a dark horse town, in the middle of the west
Where friday takes so long to arrive
Johnny wakes up dreaming turns on the radio
The he jumps up plays his guitar in the mirror
Starts his day with a rock and roll pose
Tonight's the night that susie and he
Are going to a rock and roll show

Tonight! i'm gonna see some rock and roll!
Yeah, my favorite group is playing!
Tonight! i'm gonna see some rock and roll!

Well it's showtime and he's caught up in the crowd
He hates the crush but he loves the music loud
He reaches out and susie's disappeared,
Now johnny's standing on a corner after the show
Looking for his susie dear
But there goes his susie - in the band's limousine!
Yeah, well that's the way it goes at these rock and roll shows

That's the way it goes - it's rock and roll
That's the way it goes - it's rock and roll

Now susie's gone, and johnny hears the thunder
As he rolls another number and he counts
He counts the times he's felt himself to be the hero
'cause ever since he was a boy
He's heard about adventure
As he looks into the mirror now he knows
He must be the star and play guitar like thunder
Find susie at his rock and roll show

Boy, if i only had a good guitar and a big amp
Boy, it wouldn't be somebody else taking my girl away...tell ya
I know what i should do...i'll put an ad in the paper
Get a few other guys who want to play as much as i do
Tell ya, i ain't playin' no surf music
I'm gonna play some heavy music
I'm gonna play bad
I'm gonna play loud
I know just what i want it to sound like
It's gonna sound like...
It's gonna sound like...

This is don kirshner
And tonight on don kirshner's rock concert
A new phenomenon in the music world
With six million albums to his credit in just two short years
My good friend, here's johnny!

Now johnny became a legend in his time
Found it easier to live in pain
Half a hero in a hard-hearted game
Now it's showtime and he's caught up in the flow
He hates the rush but he needs the music so
Still he reaches out but susie's disappeared
Well that's the way it goes at these rock and roll shows

It's rock and roll
That's the way it goes - it's rock and roll
