[Intro: distorted wah-wah guitar swirl and heavy organ drone] [Key: E minor] [Verse 1: hendrix-style voice | raw tape-saturated fuzz guitar | lurching drum groove] [Key: E minor] [Vocal: raw, paranoid, Hendrix-style delivery] Look at the street, everybody’s going mad Walking backward in the smog, worst I’ve ever had People screaming at the sky, chasing painted flies Got a basement full of wire and a box of dirty eyes (They don't know...) (They don't see...) [Pre-Chorus: rising wah-wah swell | driving drums] [Key: E minor] I got a small cage, hidden in the dark Breeding little demons with a razor-sharp mark Head-eater rodents, sharp-fanged breed Growing every night on a nasty little feed! [Chorus: heavy hypnotic fuzz riff | swirling Hammond organ] [Key: E minor] Head-eater rats, growing in the box! [adlib BOOM] Nobody wants them now, but time is on my clock! Just wait for the crash, just wait for the turn I’m gonna sell the only thing that makes the whole world burn! (Eat it up!) [Verse 2: paranoid tone | wah-wah sweeps | lurching groove] [Key: E minor] Nineteen seventy-four and the city's losing mind Throwing cash in the gutter, running completely blind They laugh at my cages, call me crazy and insane While my little gray devils chew right through the brain! (Snap, snap!) [Guitar Solo: wild hendrix-style fuzz guitar solo | heavy wah-wah | organ stabs] [Key: E minor] [Bridge: hypnotic breakdown | driving drum pulse | pulsing bass] [Key: E minor] [spoken word] They think I'm a lunatic... [spoken word] They say nobody needs a rat that bites off heads... [laughter] [spoken word] But when the madness peaks, they'll come crawling to my door. [Final Chorus: explosive heavy rock | soaring Hammond organ | full band blast] [Key: E minor] Head-eater rats, growing in the box! [adlib HEY] Nobody wants them now, but time is on my clock! Just wait for the crash, just wait for the turn I’m gonna sell the only thing that makes the whole world burn! [Instrumental Outro: spiraling fuzz guitar solos | swirling Hammond organ fading out] [Key: E minor] [Hard Stop] [End]
