Roky Erickson – Bloody Hammer lyrics

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
