lyrics

Baby asked to kiss my clay cold lips so I made her day sink to noir
They found the smart-ass lover boy lying on the bathroom floor
Broken fingernails stuck in the eye could point back to a thousand whores
But I left a blood-dripping note ain’t gonna bother you no more

Somebody had to teach the lesson
Couldn’t care less about the blessing
Be careful what you’re wishin’
Oh oh I’m down with it

Whoa oh oh yeah I’m one in a billion baby
Whoa oh oh I’m your brand-new candy man
Whoa oh oh yeah I’m one in a billion baby
Whoa oh oh make a wish I’ll understand

First call for ritual second call I grow silent
First call for ritual second call I grow silent
Third call I resolve

Baby wants to get my fingertips and send daddy to the abattoir
They found the tough ass wife beater lying on the concrete floor
Cut downed fingers straight to the knuckles just to see how tough you are
But I left a blood-dripping note ain’t gonna bother you no more

Somebody had to teach the lesson
Couldn’t care less about the blessing
Be careful what you’re wishin’
Oh oh I’m down with it

Whoa oh oh yeah I’m one in a billion baby
Whoa oh oh I’m your brand-new candy man
Whoa oh oh yeah I’m one in a billion baby
Whoa oh oh make a wish I’ll understand

First call for ritual second call I grow silent
First call for ritual second call I grow silent
First call for ritual second call I grow silent

Third call I resolve

about

Matchless Montreal, Québec

The missing link between Johnny Burnette and Black Sabbath! They’re custom made and they’ve earned their gold ticket straight to Hell. Fast and raw, it finds no place for compromise. Limitless, driving on the left lane, Ennio Morricone earworms beating through a hotrod engine in flames. Hear what it sounds like when you’ve got only one bullet left and nothing to loose. ... more
