Roky Erickson

Bloody Hammer

Demon is up in the attic to the left

My eye turns to the left to say no

You said first I am a special one

I never hammered my mind out

I never have their bloody hammer

I never have their bloody hammer

I never have their bloody hammer

I never have their bloody

I never have their bloody

I never have their bloody hammer

I am the doctor

I am the psychiatrist

To make sure they don't think

That they'd hammer their minds out

Or that they'd have a

Or that they'd have a bloody hammer

Or that they'd have a bloody hammer

Or that they'd have a bloody hammer

Or that they'd have a bloody

Or that they'd have a bloody

Or that they'd have a bloody hammer

Second, I am the special one

My eyes, green and blue

Turn safely unbegotten

To the left to say no

While the others with their hair turned white

Each roll their eyes back to the top of their head

And hammer the attic floor with a bloody hammer

I never have their bloody hammer

I never have their bloody

I never have their bloody

I never have their bloody hammer

It's not a sledgehammer

It's not a chisel

It's not a train

But a thought of unlimited horror for

Dr. O'Chane, Dr. O'Chane

Baby ghost says beat it with your chain

Baby ghost says don't drag your chain away

Dr. O'Chane

One bat in lightninng, one bat in rain

One bat blanks wolfbane for

Dr. O'Chane, Dr. O'Chane

The ghost says beat it with your chain

The ghost says don't drag your chain away

Dr. O'Chane

All bats are as Dracula vampires

Vampires in the rain

Vampires in the lightning for

Dr. O'Chane, Dr. O'Chane

The baby ghost in the 1900s says beat it with your chain

The baby ghost says

don't drag your spoon, don't drag your chain away

Dr. O'Chane

Demon is up in the attic to the left

My eye turns to the left to say no

say first I am a special one

I never hammer my mind out

I never have their bloody hammer

I never have their bloody hammer

I never have their bloody hammer

I never have their bloody

I never have their bloody

I never have their bloody hammer
