Lyrics


“Do what the voices say

Do what the voices say”


I ain t quite right

Gonna bury me at night

I was never very bright but this I know


It’s a mighty plan

Way to stick it to the man

In this tragic little span

You can t say no


See the whole dam’ street

start to give in to the meat

Watch em underneath the sheets

They re all aglow


We re action packed

Try and catch us in the act

Some the distortion to the facts

(the strain don’t show)


Running with the mothmen, mothmen  mothmen

Running with the mothmen ( half –incinerated)

Running with the mothmen, mothmen, mothmen

Running with the mothmen (over stmulated)


Come feel the fear with the liquid engineer

If he s all that he appears

Why not say so?


Quite precise

That unnatural device

Was a so much nicer way to go


Running with the mothmen, mothmen  mothmen

Running with the mothmen ( half –incinerated)

Running with the mothmen, mothmen, mothmen

Running with the mothmen (over stmulated)


“ Do what the voices say

down where the light don’t  shine

mad as  a bag of cats

down where the dogs won’t stray”


the truth we can reveal

has a very wide appeal

like a human conger eel

that don’t let go


tried to colonise the place

with marzipan and mace

we’ll get right into your face

but its all show


The Gaderine swine are favourites of mine

You gotta recognise the signs

and just say no


I don’t t know how

Its contaminated now

Its an aspect of the Dao

For all I know


You gotta shed that dread

As the Revelator said

Youre a long time dead

And he should know


Running with the mothmen, mothmen  mothmen

Running with the mothmen ( half –incinerated)

Running with the mothmen, mothmen, mothmen

Running with the mothmen (over stmulated)



“ do what the voices say

down where the light don’t  shine

mad as  a bag as cats

down where the dogs won’t stray”
