    Lookin' at the devil
    Grinnin' at his gun
    Fingers start shakin'
    I begin to run

    On a Greyhound thirty miles beyond Jamestown
    He saw the sun set on the Tennessee line
    He looked at the young man who was riding beside him
    He said I'm old kind of worn out inside

    I worked my whole life in the steel mills of Gary
    And my father before me I helped build this land
    Now I'm seventy-seven and with God as my witness
    I earned every dollar that passed through my hands

    Night wolves moan
    Winter hills are black
    I’m all alone
    Sitting in the back
    Of a long white Cadillac

    There was a Joe
    Leanin' on the back door
    A couple Jills with their eyes on a couple bills
    Their eyes was statin'
    They was waitin'
    To get their hands on some
    Easy money

    I've really got to use
    My imagination
    To think of good reasons
    To keep on keepin' on (Keep on keepin' on)

    Down in Louisiana
    Where the alligators grow so mean
    There lived a girl that I swear to the world
    Made the alligators look tame

    Hoverin' by my suitcase
    Tryin' to find a warm place
    To spend the night

    I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand.
    Walking through the streets of SoHo in the rain.
    He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fooks.
    Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein.

    Somebody's shouting
    Up at a mountain
    Only my own words return
    Nobody's out there
    It's a deception
    When will I ever learn?

    Striking down the enemy
    Fighting hand to hand
    Troops are thrusting onwards
    Time to take command

    Ready to devour
    On the attack
    Bodies lie dismembered
    Maimed, killed, and hacked

    Draw fast, cut first
    Live hard, die hard
    Feel the point of the blaaaaaaaade


    the lyrics alone epitomize thrash
