New Jersey's Misfits were the indisputable kings of the Horrorcore sound.
Their classic Walk Among Us record, recently reissued by J. Ruby / Warner
Brothers, rocks like hell on vinyl. Unfortunately for some, the cassette
version doesn't include the lyrics, and, since a few people had asked me
to get them copies of the lyric sheet, I decided to just blow an hour
typing them up in a nice little package like the one you're reading now.
How thoughtful of me. Pfft.
The Misfits were:
Glenn Danzig - vocals
Jerry Only - bass
Doyle - guitar
Arthur Googy - drums
20 eyes in my head
20 eyes in my head
20 eyes in my head
They're all the same.
They're all the same.
When you're seeing 20 things at a time,
you just can't slow things down.
When you're seeing 20 things in your mind,
you just can't slow things down.
Then all those eyes,
they're crowdin' up your human face.
Then all those eyes
take an overload.
20 eyes in my head
20 eyes in my head
20 eyes in my head
They're all the same
20 eyes in my head
They're all the same
20 eyes in my head
They're all the same
20 eyes in my head
They're all...
I TURNED INTO A MARTIAN
Possession of the mind is a terrible thing.
Transformation with an urge to kill.
Not the body of a man from earth.
Not the face of the one you love.
I turned into a Martian.
Whoa-oh-oh.
I can't even recall my name.
Times I never hardly sleep at night.
Whoa-oh-oh.
I turned into a Martian today.
I walk down city streets
on an unsuspecting human world.
In human in your midst.
This world is mine to own!
I turned into a Martian.
Whoa-oh-oh.
I believe that it's okay.
Times I never hardly sleep at night.
Whoa-oh-oh.
I turned into a Martian today.
ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE
Walls start closing in around you.
My twins of evil
shake you by the collarbone
then snap your ribcage.
Broken bodies in a death rock dance hall.
Please be my partner.
Eyeballs pop accelerated blood beat.
Veins a'shaking.
And all Hell breaks loose.
And Evil is as Evil does and who
who but me could write the book of cruel?
I send my murdergram to all the monster kids.
It comes right back to me
signed in their parents' blood.
And all Hell breaks loose.
VAMPIRA
Black dress moves in a blue movie.
Graverobber from outer space.
Your pulmonary trembles in your outstretched arm,
tremble so wicked.
Two inch nails
Micro-waist
with a pale white feline face
Inclination eyebrows to there
Mistress to the horror kid,
cemetert of a white love ghoul.
Take off your shabby dress.
Come lay beside me.
Come a little bit closer.
Come a little bit closer.
Come a little bit closer.
Come a little bit closer to this.
Vampira.
Vampira.
Vampira.
NIKE-A-GO-GO
Human tongue feels aluminum plate.
It's a missle boy.
Death-machine and man in love.
Tracking system checks out pulse.
Systems go.
Rocket-blast fury
with a manual sex-drive.
Nike is the name.
Remember it.
Deadlier than any girl on any world.
Nike be good.
Nike be everything woman's not.
Nike take my life along with yours.
Nike is the name.
Remember it.
Nike take my life
along with yours.
There I go
and it's over.
There I go.
It's over.
HATE BREEDERS
Brain invasion goin' on in everyone.
You feel the things to make a world turn angry red
because the next time you can't take it.
Next thought murderation
and hate is all you wanna know.
Murder one inborn into your every cell.
It's in your blood and you can't shake it
because you were bred to take it.
Next stop annihilation.
They bred the hate right in your bones.
Because you were bred to take it.
Next stop annihilation.
They bred the hate right in your fuckin' bones.
Hate is your mistress; you shall not want.
You shall not want because your breed is strong
because when they try to break you,
New World desolation,
and strength is all you gotta know.
Whoa-oh-oh.
Hate breeder.
Whoa-oh-oh.
Whoa-oh-oh-oh.
Hate breeder.
Whoa-oh-oh.
Ohh...
MOMMY, CAN I GO OUT AND KILL TONIGHT (Live)
Mommy...
ONE TWO THREE FOUR!
I singled out the kids who are mean to me.
I get straight A's, but they still make fun.
I don't give a -
I'll laugh last.
I stayed in every night.
I do my homework so I'll be smart.
Girls all say I'm a little fucked.
Mommy I'm a good boy.
Mommy I'm a savior.
Mommy I'm alive.
Mommy...
Can I go out and
kill tonight?
Rip the veins from human necks until they're wet with life.
Razor blades love teenage necks - epidermoty.
I'll bring back a souvenir; It's my mommy's dream.
Can I go out and kill tonight?
Killed a girl on Lover's Lane, I kept her toes and teeth.
Every night I stalk around until I find my keep.
I'll bring back a souvenir 'cause it's my mommy's dream.
Can I go out and kill tonight?
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD
Whoa...
Whoa-oh-oh.
Whoa...
Whoa-oh-oh-oh.
Stumble in somnambulance.
Pre-dawn corpses come to life.
Armies of the dead survive.
Armies of the hungry ones.
Only ones,
lonely ones,
ripped up like shredded wheat.
Only ones,
lonely ones,
be a sort of human panic.
This ain't no love-in.
This ain't no happening.
This ain't no feeling in my arm.
You think you're a zombie.
You think it's a scene from
some monster magazine.
Open up your eyes too late.
This ain't no fantasy, boy.
This ain't no love-in.
This ain't no happening.
This ain't no feeling in my arm.
SKULLS
The corpses all hang headless and limp.
Bodies with no surprises,
and the blood drains down life devil's rain.
We'll bathe tonight.
I want your skulls.
I need your skulls.
I want your skulls.
I need your skulls.
Demon I am and face I feel
to see your skin turned inside-out 'cause
gotta have you on my wall.
Gotta have you in my room.
I want your skulls.
I need your skulls.
I want your skulls.
I need your skulls.
Collect the heads of little girls and
put 'em on my wall.
Hack the heads off little girls and
put 'em on my wall.
VIOLENT WORLD
Pregnant mothers in Mexico
give birth to stillborn monster babies.
Hideous deformed two-headed monsters,
vivisected for yout magazine essay.
C'mon,

Nazi demons, Nazi youth,
wolverines in dark brown suits.
Yeah, they shove you in an oven

Blame it all on Nazi youth.
