Roky Erickson - Bloody Hammer lyrics

rate me

Demon is up in the attic to the left<br />

My eye turns to the left to say no<br />

You said first I am a special one<br />

I never hammered my mind out<br />

<br />

I never have the bloody hammer<br />

I never have the bloody hammer<br />

I never have the bloody hammer<br />

I never have the bloody<br />

I never have the bloody<br />

I never have the bloody hammer<br />

<br />

I am the doctor<br />

I am the psychiatrist<br />

To make sure they don't think<br />

That they'd hammer their minds out<br />

<br />

Or that they'd have a<br />

Or that they'd have a bloody hammer<br />

Or that they'd have a bloody hammer<br />

Or that they'd have a bloody hammer<br />

Or that they'd have a bloody<br />

Or that they'd have a bloody<br />

Or that they'd have a bloody hammer<br />

<br />

Second, I am the special one<br />

My eyes, green and blue<br />

And safely unbegotten<br />

To the left to say no<br />

While the others with their hair turned white<br />

They just roll their eyes back to the top of their head<br />

And hammer the attic floor with a bloody hammer<br />

<br />

I never have the bloody hammer<br />

I never have the bloody<br />

I never have the bloody<br />

I never have the bloody hammer<br />

<br />

It's not a sledgehammer<br />

It's not a chisel<br />

It's not a train<br />

But a thought of unlimited horror for<br />

Dr. O'Chane, Dr. O'Chane<br />

<br />

Baby ghost says beat it with your chain<br />

Baby ghost says don't drag your chain away<br />

Dr. O'Chane<br />

<br />

One bat enlighten me, one bat in rain<br />

One bat likes wolfbane for<br />

Dr. O'Chane, Dr. O'Chane<br />

<br />

The ghost says beat it with your chain<br />

The ghost says don't drag your chain away<br />

Dr. O'Chane<br />

<br />

All bats are as Dracula vampires<br />

Vampires in the rain<br />

Vampires in the lightning for<br />

Dr. O'Chane, Dr. O'Chane<br />

<br />

The baby ghost in the 1900s says beat it with your chain<br />

The baby ghost says don't drag your spoon, don't drag your chain away<br />

Dr. O'Chane<br />

<br />

Demon is up in the attic to the left<br />

My eye turns to the left to say no<br />

You said first I am a special one<br />

I never hammer my mind out<br />

<br />

I never have the bloody hammer<br />

I never have the bloody hammer<br />

I never have the bloody hammer<br />

I never have the bloody<br />

I never have the bloody<br />

I never have the bloody hammer
