about

the words have been around for a long time, but didn't find a home until john showed up one day with this riff.

lyrics

the mustache of the devil is tickling me
bad as it sounds it’s not as bad as I want it to be

he plucks his own eye out and holds it in his fingers
puts his thumb up to his lips and licks it ‘til it tingles
he shoves the eye inside of me and takes a red hot look
and if he likes what he sees, he sets right down to cook

mother! my hands are tied
mother! you should see his ride

i’ve seen him rip off both his ears and hold them to the ground
he hears the moaning of the dead and his heart explodes with song
he has a voice like glass on ice, it rips me to the core
i’ve enjoyed once or twice my guts out on the floor

mother! my hands are tied
mother! you should see his ride

his fingers dance along my spine, a vertebrae piano
i can’t count the times I’ve said I cannot stand “blue danube”
but he insists, as the devil will, to show off about the house
says since he can’t play rochmananoff, he damn well will play strauss

mother! my hands are tied
mother!
