TOO MEAN TO DIE

I´ve been through hell but it froze over.
Think of a lowlife, I assure you I am lower.
I´ve cut my wrists and shot my feet.
I´ve been left to die on a Mexico street.

Been tied down to that chair.
But me they couldn´t fry.
There´s nothing I don´t dare.
I´m too goddamn mean to die. Yeah.

I´ve taken blows and poisoned water.
Been stabbed in rage by the devils daughter.
I´ve done more shit than you could know.
Escaped the chair with a tilted halo.

Been tied down to that chair.
But me they couldn´t fry.
There´s nothing I don´t dare.
I´m too goddamn mean to die.

I´ve laughed loud in outlaws faces.
Crashed and burned in dragstrip races.
Got the ability to always make a scene.
But they can´t stop me I´m too damn mean.

Been tied down to that chair.
But me they couldn´t fry.
There´s nothing I don´t dare.
I´m too goddamn mean to die.

CONSTANT ROTATION

Hey, I´ve got an energylevel that could bring down the nation.
You gotta hold me down cuz I´m on constant rotation.

You gotta put me in a cell cuz I can´t stand still.
I´m running around in circles, that´s my nr 1 skill.
You should put me in a safehouse and then tie me down.
Or you´ll have a tornado sweeping over town.

Hey, I´ve got an energylevel that could bring down the nation.
You gotta hold me down cuz I´m on constant rotation.

You gotta stun me now, I´m in a state of flux.
I´m heading out with the power of monster trucks.
Tune in to inspiration cuz it´s up for grabs.
I´m out to turn some heads, I can´t be put in straps.

Hey, I´ve got an energylevel that could bring down the nation.
You gotta hold me down cuz I´m on constant rotation.

KING OF THE DRAGSTERS

Take a good look cuz soon I will be gone.
I´m off in the Charger, coming on like Genghis Khan.
This has got to be the toughest combination bar none.

I´ve got the Street Hemi power and it does the trick.
It´s growling like a thorougbred when I shift and let it rip.
Cragar mags with Wide Boots tires, it's the killer grip.

You´re since long left behind.
You´re competing with a motormind.
The local hellcats getting taken by storm.
Jaws drop when my Mopar perform.
I got the goods that a leadfoot likes.
This is where the lightning strikes.
I drive a car that is mobile porn.
I´m the king of the dragsters, I´m natural born …

Cover your ears cuz I´m about to hit Mach One.
It runs in the family I´m Don Garlits unknown son.
Pulverizing Chevys on my non-stop rebel run.

I got what it takes to show them the short way home.
They´re dropping like flies at the strip, that´s where I roam.
My wedge-head V8's tuned and I´ve spent no time on chrome.

You´re since long left behind.
You´re competing with a motormind.
The local hellcats getting taken by storm.
Jaws drop when my Mopar perform.
I got the goods that a leadfoot likes.
This is where the lightning strikes.
I drive a car that is mobile porn.
I´m the king of the dragsters, I´m natural born …

MATT WALKER

I know a guy by the name of Matt Walker.
When he´s in the mood he´s quite a bit of a talker.
I think he´s hooked on some bad ass powder.
Cuz Matt he always wants it louder and louder.
He cracks us up with his crazy dance.
Tries to get our gear in his dirty hands.
Matt´s the kind of guy who always wants to jam
And all of us envy his killer tan.

Cuz Matt is just a good guy with a beat up face.
And everyone´s smiling when he´s in the place.
So give us the snake dance with the guitar cord.

He stumbles through the door with a seedy grace.
He´ll hypnotize us all with his madman gaze.
Matt is the coolest, he´s our overlord.

When we look out we see his behind.
He´s scanning the container for a real find.
Then he walks into the room and just starts the show.
Learns us all the tricks, we never want him to go.
Once the cops beat him up but he stood tall.
He just took another pill and forgot it all.
Always cool and happy though a drug pad stalker.
He´s that kind of guy, he´s Matt the Walker.

Cuz Matt is just a good guy with a beat up face.
And everyone´s smiling when he´s in the place.
So give us the snake dance with the guitar cord.

He stumbles through the door with a seedy grace.
He´ll hypnotize us all with his madman gaze.
Matt is the coolest, he´s our overlord.

BARRACUDA

It´s named after a fish but it looks like King Kong.
I got my rippin' stripped down 'Cuda roaring all night long.
It´s cold air sniffing scoop is poking through the hood.
You can tell by the looks this car is up to no good.

Four speed overhaul when going for the bite.
Air grabbing monster pounding on all through the night.
Four wheels on the prowl, your shortcut to the fun.
Made of Detroit steel, and the beat goes on.
And when the flag's been waved and the race is done ...
You know I´ll be the one.

Speeding through the area, going ape all over town.
Going through the gears just to hear the sound.
Made for the hellraiser with a suicidal twist.
A quick push on the pedal is like being pounded by a fist.

Four speed overhaul when going for the bite.
Air grabbing monster pounding on all through the night.
Four wheels on the prowl, your shortcut to the fun.
Made of Detroit steel, and the beat goes on.
And when the flag's been waved and the race is done ...
You know I´ll be the one.

EVIL COME EVIL GO

You poked me and called me names.
I had loser written all over me and soiled Hanes.
But now I am the dealer and I´ve picked your card.
I will get you Carnalita, I will get my reward.

What comes around goes around, you must know …
You get it back, it´s a non-stop flow.
Now get on with the show …
Cuz evil come and evil go.

Now years have passed and you´ve forgot but I can´t rest.
You´re the one and only passenger on my horror express.
I´ve gone from the reciever to the one who pay back.
With new won strength I now have what I lacked.

What comes around goes around, you must know …
You get it back, it´s a non-stop flow.
Now get on with the show …
Cuz evil come and evil go.

You left me stained and halfway to hell.
Now you'll feel the pain that I know so well.
From bottle to bottle I´ve searched for my pride.
Yeah I have been patient now time´s on my side.

You lied and you cheated and you cut out a hole.
Are you ready to pay for the years that you stole ?
Your two-timing body will be hit by my hate.
Unlike the other times I control this date.

What comes around goes around, you must know …
You get it back, it´s a non-stop flow.
Now get on with the show …
Cuz evil come and evil go.
