What’s that light in my rearview? What’s the writhing in the road? Blinding, braking, hydroplaning, Tiny bodies slap my hood. And the rain comes pouring down, trees fly by in silhouette Now the tape is playing backwards, now the light is overhead As the panic overtakes me, dashboard flickers and goes dead. 100 miles an hour, ooh 100,000 frogs! Just keep driving driving Aaah just keep driving driving ahhhh In the darkness that’s engulfed me, ears assailed by wailing tires I careen into the guardrail, all i see is the blue fire 100 miles an hour, ooh 100,000 frogs! Just keep driving driving Aaah just keep driving driving ahhhh Pull myself out of the wreckage, crawling through amphibian gore Reach the top of the embankment, can’t feel my legs anymore 100 miles an hour, ooh 100,000 frogs! I can almost see the eyes, the Grey men in silhouette!

The Numbers 04:18
Never turned my head Just snuck up behind me Hands around my neck I knew that it would find me Nervousness is nothing new Counting all the steps is what protects me Three times I cross myself before Seventeen paces to the door Five times the turning of the lock Twenty-three houses where I walk If I’m a ghost why do I feel The mirror tells me that I’m real But I go on and on and on When I stop counting I’ll be gone The human mask I wear You think that you know me But I’ve been gone for years A mannequin that breathes Frightened with each step I take The numbers they defend me Ten hairs I pull out of my head Eight crusts I cut off of my bread One scab I pick at all day long This sign is thirty letters long Thirty-four years I lived a lie Thirty-four more until I die This hungry world I float alone When I stop counting I’ll be gone I count the voices in my head I count the bloodstains on my bed I pull the blankets tight around Cover my ears against the sound Eight billion people on the earth A number tells me what I’m worth I count the seconds until dawn When I stop counting I’ll be gone

Listen to Me 04:49
Listen to me You don’t mean it You don’t really want to do this Listen to me Don’t leave me here Don’t make me cry and beg you Listen to me We can fix this You can turn around and we’ll forget this You hold the cards You drive the car You have my future in your hands I understand Are we not men? Can we not handle this like men? Listen to me It won’t be long Before they come looking for me Listen to me You’re not a bad guy You’re just desperate, I understand you Listen to me I’ve got money I’ve got a family waiting for me Listen to me It’s Armani It’s iridium and you can have it all You hold the cards You drive the car You have my future in your hands I understand Are we not men? Can we not talk it out like men? Instrumental break/Solo You hold the cards You drive the car You have my future in your hands (Can’t you tell me what you want I understand (I can’t help if I don’t know Are we not men? (Why you look at me like that Can we not talk it out like men? (Can’t you tell me what you want Take all I own (I can’t help if I don’t know I’m not alone (What’s that in your pocket, man Do you not know who I am? (Can’t you tell me what you want Take all I own (I can’t help if I don’t know I’m not alone (Please just tell me it’s not loaded Don’t you know who I am?

Kerosene 04:13
You didn’t know what you were getting You went betting on a dark horse, Hunting a unicorn. You didn’t know what you were doing You’re in ruins cuz you Gave your boy such a shiny toy Now I’m the reason why he lies And I’m the reason why you cry And now your love is nobody And now your house is all in flames And I’m the one who’ll take the blame But I’m happy pouring kerosene You couldn’t know when you went looking for a third I would subtract him He don’t want you now You basic girls should never gamble You rolled the dice into accelerant And you know you can’t Tame his brain now that I’m in it You can’t win it Now the worm has turned And it’s you who’s burned Now I’m the reason why he lies And I’m the reason why you cry And now your love is nobody And now your house is all in flames And I’m the one who’ll take the blame But I’m happy pouring kerosene You couldn’t know when you went looking for a third I would subtract him He don’t want you now You can’t control the burn you let the devil creeps into your churchyard He don’t want you now Now I’m the reason why he lies And I’m the reason why you cry And now your love is nobody And now your house is all in flames And I’m the one who’ll take the blame But I’m happy pouring kerosene You couldn’t know when you went looking for a third I would subtract him He don’t want you now You can’t control the burn you let the devil creeps into your churchyard And he wants me more You can’t pretend no more You hate the fox you let into your henhouse You can’t shut the door And though you got him back your bed is burning Can’t ignore the warning: the devil is a whore.

Bone Daddy 04:00
Midnight and my skin is crawling As the moon seeks out my upturned face I’m an animal Howling in my tattered remnants But that girl is hardly even phased. I’m an animal So why aren’t you scared? See my teeth are sharp But you just meet my stare Why don’t you scream? I’m terrifying, you’ve got what I need. Fall down frightened, turn your throat to me. I can’t chase if you don’t run Drooling, she can smell my slobber As she reads her book and sips her tea Growling, my voice shakes her saucer But she just turns and yawns at me I’m an animal Ripping my disguise But you ain’t impressed You just roll your eyes Cower, shiver, why don’t you scream? I’m terrifying, you’ve got what I need. I’m an animal A motherfucking cur With a taste for blood You just pet my fur I’m a raging beast Please throw me a bone No matter how I snarl You just boop my nose Cower, shiver, why don’t you scream? I’m terrifying, you’ve got what I need. Fall down frightened, turn your throat to me. I can’t chase if you don’t run
