Lyrics The Mountain Goats

The Mountain Goats

The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton

The best ever death metal band out of Denton

Was a couple of guys who'd been friends since grade

school

One was named Cyrus, the other was Jeff

And they practiced twice a week in Jeff's bedroom

The best ever death metal band out of Denton

Never settled on a name

But the top three contenders after weeks of debate

Were Satan's Fingers, and The Killers, and The Hospital

Bombers

Jeff and Cyrus believed in their hearts

They were headed for stage lights and lear jets and

fortune and fame

So in script that made prominent use of a pentagram

They stenciled their drum heads and guitars with their

names

And this was how Cyrus got sent to the school

Where they told him he'd never be famous

And this was why Jeff, in the letters he'd write to his

friend

Helped develop a plan to get even

When you punish a person for dreaming his dream

Don't expect him to thank or forgive you

The best ever death metal band out of Denton

Will in time both outpace and outlive you

Hail Satan

Hail Satan tonight

Hail Satan

Hail, hail
