Tombstone jacket on the Judgement Day Better believe I've got somethin' to say Like it or not, I'm here to stay I'm a hillbilly with a meat cleaver The woods are lonely and the valley is cold But I wouldn't trade 'em for a bag of gold, a boneyard shirt and a band new soul I'm a hillbilly with a meat cleaver Got some ideas about original sin, the Hand of God and and a salesman's grin Only one way i'm gonna win I'm a hillbilly with a meat cleaver The Eye of the Storm in the Hear of the Sate The sound of a shoe on a metal grate Only one reason to stay up late I'm a hillbilly with a meat cleaver Everything I see is from the corner of my eye The hair of a dog and the wings of a fly I can hear a sermon in a baby's cry I'm a hillbilly with a meat cleaver Hillbilly with a meat cleaver x3 I'm a hillbilly with a meat cleaver

The Spider Baby in the Dead of Night Feels the Butterfly Effect When she caries Six Souls through District Nine to the Last House on the Left The Bird with the Crystal Plumage Has flown from its cage Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things They should dance to the names of snakes Dance to the names of snakes There are Cigarette Burns on the Hostile wall The Strangers have left the lake Tonight we're gonna burn it all down while we dance to the names of snakes Dance to the names of snakes

The Government Child was baptized today Careful where you look; careful what you say We'll dance the Black Cat Tango on the grave of a snitch Well I know her name and her name is Witch By the side of the road in a muddy ditch Everybody's dying inch-by-inch Don't ya' love to see the bodies Love to watch them twitch Well I know her name and her name is Witch Reports got filed, but in the wrong place People gettin' paid to look the other way You wanna know the truth, but the truth makes you flinch Well I know her name and her name is Witch By the side of the road in a muddy ditch Everybody's dying inch-by-inch Don't ya' love to see the bodies Love to watch them twitch Well I know her name and her name is Witch You'll figure it out on your own You just need a little push; all roads lead to Rome A sack of evidence and one last kiss One more favor off the serving dish One more name added to the list One more shackle on the bartender's wrist One more visit from the Iron Fist Well I know her name and her name is Witch By the side of the road in a muddy ditch Everybody's dying inch-by-inch Don't ya' love to see the bodies Love to watch them twitch Well I know her name and her name is Witch By the side of the road in a bloody ditch Everybody's dying inch-by-inch Don't ya' love to see the bodies Love to watch them twitch Well I know her name and her name is Witch

I’m the baby beaten at Woodstock I privatized the apocalypse I dropped out of school today I am the dirty little secret On everybody’s lips I’m up on the roof (x3) I’m gonna shoot out the sun [repeat] Let it burn (x3) The fire’s in your eyes Back on the subway the people speak in visions They talk about divisions But they can’t let it go The tracks they are on fire All flames and desire The people pray to liars And they can’t let it go I’m up on the roof (x3) I’m gonna shoot out the sun [repeat] I’m the baby buried at Woodstock I made a buck off the Ebola scare I dropped you off at the clinic today You are my dirty little secret And I don’t even care Let it burn (x3) The fire’s in your eyes Let it burn (x3) The Devil’s in your eyes

She gets letters in the mail She doesn't read them; she just throws them away She knows exactly what those letters said She hears the words inside of her head They said Don't go outside and never talk to anybody x2 When she hears the telephone ring, she'll get up and walk out of the room She doesn't even own a phone I don't know know where that ringing's coming from She says Don't go outside and never talk to anybody x2 She closed the doors to her perception and slammed the window on her interpection She hears the voices in the microwave Her toaster tells her it's the End of Days When it says Don't go outside and never talk to anybody x4 Hippy hippy shake. Wake and bake Jump up and down while you feel the earth quake Hippy hippy shake. Wake and bake Jump up and down while you handle those snakes Hippy hippy shake. Wake and bake Lookin' for the bodies when they're draggin' the lake Hippy hippy shake. Wake and bake Jump up and down like you've made a mistake

Hear the branches in the wind Feel the cold air on your skin You know that something wicked this way comes In the Belly of the Beast is where you'll find our priests We have to keep them hidden from the sun Unrealistic expectations are the hallmark of our nation The guiding motivation for everyone In the center of our town there's an ancient earthen mound Come and listen to the chanting of our nuns. We take heads; we take hearts We tear them all apart We decorate our homes for the Futility Dance We take eyes; we take skin Don't tell us it's a sin When we decorate ourselves for the Futility Dance What the seasons come and go As the fires burn below And the Rites of the Dead go on and on In the forest primeval Where we start a great upheaval to the clashing and the bashing of our songs It's a loud cacophony that echoes across the sea It's not illegal, but they tell us that's it's wrong In a workshop we've been building A wooden figure to the ceiling You know they're gonna miss us when we're gone. We take heads; we take hearts We tear them all apart We decorate our homes for the Futility Dance We take eyes; we take skin Don't tell us it's a sin When we decorate ourselves for the Futility Dance

Just make up your own words. That's how art works these days. Damn fool kids. Whatcha wanna go messin' 'round in that old abandoned house for anyway? It's been sixty years since those murders and this town would like to forget all about 'em. Now, are you gonna buy something, or are ya' gonna git outta my store? You see that sign?!? I have the right to refuse service to ANYBODY! And that includes a bunch of smartass cllege kids who come around stirring up memories of things that are best forgotten!

7th Victim Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

When you think of Philadelphia-based electronic acts, only one name comes to mind.
That name is Void Vision.
But sometimes they're not available. For those times, there's 7th Victim.
Formed in Stocksbridge, UK in 1976, 7th Victim has played shows with Joy Division, The Clash, The KLF, and Depache Mode.. Except for when they haven't. Which they didn't. Why are you still reading this?
