Voodoo That You Do 03:40
lyrics
buy track
Well I was… On a cocktail, cuz my nerves are all frayed Better tell her before it's too late And she seals up my fate "Hello lover, I'm in love with your daughter." And she castoff a curse on my name, As they do down in NOLA Bayabbudabba… Hoodoo & Voodoo - Voodoo That You Do Bayabbudabba… Hoodoo & Voodoo - Voodoo That You Do She was all in a daze Dancin' round with a snake Black candles and veins Steady cursin' my name Shook it off though, but when I tried to escape Took one step and my leg broke away And a claw took its place Always thought her, not a witch witch but a saint But that doll, it reminds me of me? And with needles, she played Bayabbudabba… Hoodoo & Voodoo - Voodoo That You Do Bayabbudabba… Hoodoo & Voodoo - Voodoo That You Dos On my deathbed, 1/2 an inch from insane When that daughter walks into the place With a smile on her face So I… Met my maker, right outside of my grave With a nod and a smack on my back I fell right into place I fell right into place I fell right into place I fell right into place I fell right into place

I hate this place STOP STARING I hate the way they walked me out How can this be? I heeded the trends Pretendin' to bend It can' be all about me I love this hate STOP STARING I love the way it makes me right It should be me I heeded the trends Pretended to bend It can't be all about me My fall from grace STOP STARING Is all it takes to make me real I'm almost me Call on me again We'll see how it ends

Close the curtains, pour me a drink, for the Midnite Hayride Love for sale, throw in disease... for free. Oh, how it burns when you're givin' to me, that overqualified goodnight Lost it all, but can we do it again, and again, and again? Do do do do, ooh ooh ooh ooh BOP should I die? BOP I should I die? Do do do do, do do do do doooh BOP should I die? BOP I should I die? All's for certain, never believe Come on! Unless you see it with your third eye Love for sale, diseases are free today! I'm a liar, and a thief Pure desire, makes me weak Better go home, get some sleep But, while I'm here let's get high today Doh doh doh doh BOP should I die? BOP I should I die? Let's get high today, red-eyed and ready to go BOP should I die? BOP I should I die? Do do do do, ooh ooh ooh ooh BOP should I die? BOP I should I die? Do do do do, do do do do doooh BOP should I die? BOP I should I die? Hoochie Momma, starin' at me, like a quasi-jedi Love derailed sowing the seed... of me. I'ma buy her, what a freak Pure desire, makes me weak Better go home, get some sleep But, while I'm here let's get high today Doh doh doh doh BOP should I die? BOP I should I die? Let's get high today, red-eyed and ready to go BOP should I die? BOP I should I die? "You'll never guess what happen, I slipped and I fell inside her whole life rearranged and let me go."

High Horse 04:18
lyrics
buy track
Cautious never lives forever, deadbeats never die. Why don't you get out and walk home baby? Hitch another ride. And when I celebrate, put it all together. Numbnutz always stick together, hail, rain or shine. Why don't you hop on my high horse baby, itch another lie. And when we elevate, clap your hands. I'm just a singin' a song I'm just a singin' a song for you Be doing it all night long Be doing it all night long for you I'm just a singin' a song Just singin' a song I'm just a singin' a song for you Be doing it all night long Be doing it all night long for you Spit my devils pretense as if I know the way,to a better day, far from now But I know you, still I hope you'll join my masquerade As I promenade, through this town, with the world on my shoulders Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh Oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh ooooooooh I'm just a singin' a song Just singin' a song I'm just a singin' a song for you Be doing it all night long Be doing it all night long for you

What A Gone 05:28
lyrics
buy track
When I'm gone, will you ride on over my path? When I'm gone, will you slide off, off of my back? When I'm gone, will you cry long, make me look good? When I'm wrong, will you rise up just like you should? What a shame, getting over me What a shame, getting over me What a shame, getting over me... I can't see Gone, from the mantle, gone from your bed Gone, from the waist down, not from your head Gone, leave a light on in case I come back The chances of that are akin to attack What a shame, getting over me What a shame, getting over me What a shame, getting over me... I can't see Ooh oh oh oh When I'm gone, will you all fight over my things? What a gone, how I left still remains to be seen When I die, will you dance on top of my grave? When I'm gone, will you find love makes you behave? What a shame, getting over me What a shame, getting over me What a shame, getting over me... I can't see What a shame, getting over me What a shame, getting over me What a shame, getting over me... now I see Ooh oh oh oh

Heavy Head Vacancy 04:52
lyrics
buy track
Come on and talk to me Tell me your rotting dream Lend me your fears And I'll save you a tear No, this ain't another fucking sad song Sick of all those fucked up sad songs On my own Crying for days And would it matter today if I told you the truth? Heartache monopoly Listening awfully Into one ear And out of my…. It's not that I don't have a fucking conscience The days events have lost it All alone Wasting away Would it matter today if I told you the truth? Would it all go away if I swung from your noose? And the ego glides on And the ego glides on Heavy head vacancy Letting my shoulder breathe Time on my hands I'll leave it alone And no, this ain't another fucking sad song This is my own On my own Weeping for days

about

Walking Evil finds The Laughing Man exploring the 7 deadly sins amidst a jubilant soundscape of giddy guitars, pensive singing and dire drumming. Tales of greed, gluttony, lust, wrath, sloth, envy and pride guide our hapless protagonist through high times and inevitable lows. Maybe you haven't had a date with a hooker lately, engaged in an outsiders vengeful lament, or broken down dealing with the relentless pace of technology, but sins and sinning are something we do everyday. Make no mistake, sins can be equal parts dumb and fun, whether we decide to embrace them or keep them at bay depends on the strength of your heavenly virtues or simply which way the wind blows.
