Revolt for realism This carnal communism You'd have me drink my fill But that would only make me ill Your promised revolution Becomes new institution Progress, modernity Now I'm locked inside eternity When all the damsels are distressed And the maidens don't fight fair, Then Dracula's the loneliest if he doesn't want to share. When all the damsels come undressed And the maiden she lies bare, Then Dracula's the loneliest 'cause he can only stare. The workers bring new dawn Nocturnal dreamers gone You can be part of the Party And share with every body Trade oppression for tyranny Take flesh, leave fantasy Today your liberator Tomorrow dominator The Revolution will not rest Till everybody shares And Dracula's the wealthiest, but with no coin to spare. So drive a stake into my chest And burn my bones bare 'Cause I'm Dracula the powerless, but who said life was fair? Just remember, when he holds you down It's for your own protection Because we both Want your blood It's my fangs or his erection When all the damsels are distressed And the maidens don't fight fair Then Dracula's the loneliest if he doesn't want to share When all the damsels come undressed And the maiden, she lies bare Then Dracula's the hungriest, 'cause there's no blood to spare. No blood No blood No blood for Dracula

Can you read the arcane maps of dreams? From a turn of cards my future glean? I've been waiting far too long for my whole life to start Every time the signs appear I watch them fall apart and fade from view Will I chase my tail around? Will the wheel grind me down? Or will I ride it up to the brand new fortune high above the crowd? Can you calculate my future love? Is it written in the stars above? Are we slaves to fortune straining at our bonds of fate If we couldn't find the time then why is it too late to start anew Will I chase my tail around? Will the wheel grind me down? Or will I ride it up to the brand new fortune high above the crowd? Do I seek what can't be found? Do I whisper every sound? Or do I lift my face up to the sky and call aloud? Is it in the stars? Will I chase my tail around? Will the wheel grind me down? Or will I ride it up to the brand new fortune high above the crowd? Do I seek what can't be found? Do I whisper every sound? Or do I lift my face up to the sky and call aloud? And shout the heavens down and wear The crown of stars upon my head Or will my voice be drowned away...

The seas will boil and the skies will fall The Earth will crack or so they say They live in panic and misguided faith But to me it's just another day So don't be afraid, my friend 'Cause it's only the end Of the world again Millennial epoch has come and gone And Mayan time has all run out Are you despondent and feeling lost With no Apocalypse to fret about? Well don't be afraid, my friend 'Cause soon it will be the end Of the world again Some say in ice Some say in fire I've seen it all unfold before Some say a bang Some say a whimper But in my eyes it's all a bore The beasts will rise and the dead will walk A plague will sweep across the land It may look grim, but what you fail to see Is there's always one more grain of sand So don't be afraid, my friend 'Cause it's only the end

Walking through the city I go out to the bar It's just down the road Why does it seem so far? Mating dance and social dominance I could be at the zoo It's a wildlife expedition But I'm just watching you I feel like I'm from outer space I'm not a part of the human race I'm from an alien nation I live in alienation You stare like I'm from outer space Am I out of time or out of place? Draw lines in the sand Stick to your own crowd 'Cause you can only wear What the fashion police allowed If they don't look and talk like you You give and ask no quarter But I won't wear your uniform 'Cause Alien Nation has no border I feel like I'm from outer space I'm not a part of the human race I'm from an alien nation I live in alienation You stare like I'm from outer space Am I out of time or out of place? From straights and fakes to freaks and geeks I haven't been outside in weeks 'Cause the living dead and those strung-out 'heads Still try to keep me in my bed 'Cause I'm an alien Am I out of time? Or out of place? Or is someone waiting up in outer space for me? You lie, you cheat, you steal Get away with what you can Stepping on the other guy 'Cause you don't give a damn You think the world owes this to you And I'm the one to pay But you don't give a second thought 'Cause that's the American Way I feel like I'm from outer space I'm not a part of the human race I'm from an alien nation I live in alienation You stare like I'm from outer space Am I out of time or out of place?

about

Razorblade Monalisa Sacramento, California

Inspired largely by 80's post-punk, Razorblade Monalisa has come back from the dead more often than many of its forebears in its ten-year-long career. The band blends the styles of yesteryear into an alternately dark, dreamy, and ferocious sound injected with lyrical metaphor that references works of science fiction and horror. ... more
