Shiny red chili, aiming for your head Keep ‘em out your skull or you’ll wish you were dead! The Devil’s dance is bobbing, a rhythmic little trance Straight into the eyes if you give ‘em half a chance. The bugs are the chaser, the gold is the surprise POW! Hit ‘em hard, straight in the eyes. I see the world through a veteran’s lens Where the poison stops and the medicine begins. [Chorus] I see the world through a veteran's eyes A little chemistry and a whole lot of grit. I took their poison, I didn't just die— I turned their venom into some better shit! Yeah, I turned their poison into better shit. [Verse 2] They’re Graboids in the socket, eating you alive Screechers in the dirt where the larvae thrive. Ass-Blasters soaring with a chili-pepper tail Flying mushrooms leaving a toxic trail. Check the photos, look ‘em in the face Amanita spores all over the place! If the fly is green, you better start to run The Conocybe’s cooking and you’re almost done. [Chorus] I see the world through a veteran's eyes A little chemistry and a whole lot of grit. I took their poison, I didn't just die— I turned their venom into some better shit! [Verse 3] The third-year yellow is the corn-stalk fellow But the Purple Raptors make the screams go mellow. Chloramine to chase ‘em, fungicide to burn When the eyeballs ache, it’s the point of no return. Get to the clinic, don't sit like a mouse Before the Demon Fly owns the whole damn house. Pupils turning red in the camera light The chrysalis is breaking in the middle of the night! [Bridge] It won’t look sane to the people in pain But I’m the one standing in the Agaric rain. Cubensis turns ‘em gold, Liberty turns ‘em blue The larvae in your lungs are coming for you! Drawing back the bow, nowhere left to hide Kill ‘em ‘fore the eggs turn your brain to sand inside! [Guitar Solo / Heavy Synth Break] [Outro] The bugs are the chaser. The high is a surprise. POW! Straight in the eye. POW! Straight in the eye. turning poison into purple rain..
