      Night of the hunter

      (Kim Fowley) 1970

      It's the night of the hunter
      The stars are ruby red
      Well, I'm a magic nighthawk
      Swimmin' in the river bed
      Well, I'm a motorcycle vagabond
      Stompin' Oh, um, yeah
      on the rainbow street
      Got tin cans on my fingers
      And six toes on my feet
      Oh, oh yeah, um

      It's a rainy night in California
      My boots are soakin' wet
      And I'm a-hunting paradise
      I'm a-ready and gettin' set
      To do my huntin' the moonlight
      On the highway by the graveyard
      I'll find you and I'll...
      We'll end up crazy in the jukebox
      Oh, oh yeah, get it

      It's the night of the hunter
      I'm a-hiwlin' at the sky
      I got me a little girl
      Who's got me paralyzed
      My guitar dose glow like diamonds
      My house is made of stone
      It's my night to be a gypsy
      You best leave me alone

      It's the night of the hunter
      We'll it's the night of hunter
      We'll it's the night
      We'll it's the night
      We'll it's the night of the hunter
      We'll it's the night of the hunter...


      Long live rock and roll

      (Kim Fowley) 1970

      I want you to bop and stroll
      I want you to rock and roll
      I want you to shake your soul

      I want you to move and groove
      I want you to tell the truth
      I want you to be so smooth

      I want you to sing and dance
      I want you to take a chance
      I want you to dig romance

      I want you to dance the dog
      I want you to dance the dog
      I want you to dance the dog


      Werewolf Dynamite

      (Kim Fowley) 1970

      Oh rockin' down the dirty road
      Our sandals on the gas
      Rollin' down the highway
      Our life is zoomin' past
      Stormin' down the sidestreet
      Movin' much too fast
      Dynamite, flashin' light
      How long will we last

      Hippin' up the country
      Our motors eatin' dirt
      Tearin' up the badlands
      Our wheels gettin' hurt
      Wakin' up the neighbors
      With our electric shirt
      Dynamite, flashin' light
      How long, how long will we last
      Yeah, yeah

      Hot dog ! Oh yeah ! All right

      Screamin' through the midnight
      Shadows stop aside
      Yellin' through the twilight
      Engines open wide
      Leapin' through the starlight
      I think my brains are friend
      Dynamite, flashin'light
      How long, how long will we last
      Oh, oh yeah
      Dynamite (repeat)


      Is America dead ?

      (Kim Fowley) 1971

      Are we lost ? Are we lost ? Are we lost ? Is America dead ? Are we lost, lost, lost, lost ?

      Angry, angry, madness motion
      Destruction is your life devotion
      For love and peace do we have to fight
      The face of youth is as deak as night

      Baby, is America dead
      Are we dyin'
      Are you the one who's dead
      Baby, is America dead
      Are you the brave new world
      Or the end instead

      Baby, is America dead
      Baby, is America dead

      Baby, is America dead
      The streets are cloudy
      And the streets are red
      Her people are screamin'
      And people are yellin'
      The way is the left
      And the way that they're tellin'
      The older folks
      They don't have a chance
      They don't know how to sing
      And they don't know how to dance
      But don't we know they fought in a war
      Before we were here a long time before

      Do you really think that America's dead
      Do you really think that America's dead
      Where you gonna live if it's dead
      Well where you gonna love if it's dead
      Where you gonna groove if it's dead
      If America's dead
      Are you the one who's dead instead
      Is America dead, is America dead

      At Woodstock last summer
      Everybody asked
      If there was a brand new nation
      And they asked about Toronto
      They said that's gonna be
      The brand new nation
      But those nation had a lot of mud
      Those nations had a lot of water
      What about America, if America's dead
      Will a big cloud crawl across America

      What did we live for ? Is America, is America ? Are we America ? Are we the universe ? Are we the universe ? Then who's the liar. Is America in our minds or are we in America's minds ? Everybody, where are we ? Are we dead ? Are we dead ? Are we ? Is America ? Is ?

      America, America
      God shed your grace

      All kinds of stones
      And all kinds of rocks
      Gonna burn down the bridge
      Gonna burn down the block
      Set fire to this whole damn nation
      Gonna create all kinds of sensation

      Oh can you see
      By the dawn's early light

      Fourscore and too many trips ago, one of my brothers, he got stopped out in the far East. When they sent his coffin home, my mother said. " Is America dead ? Dead ? " Is Frankenstein or Jerry Rubin, or who will be our president ? Who's gonna be our president ? Will it be teenage girls in the Senate. Will it be sparc change freaks in the White House ? Who's gonna be in the house of congress ? Dwarfs and midgets ? Did George Washington really grow marijuana on his Virginia plantation ? And tell me about America.

      Is America dead, is America dead
      Is America dead
      Is it, is it, is it, is it

      Listen, man, I hear that if you save your money up, if you save your bread, you can, you can split to Europe and work your way over on one of those tramp steamers, you know. And when you get there all these chicks come out and say, " Hey, American ! Hey, man, they say America's dead, you know, and you can stay in our country. " " What do you mean ? " " Yeah, you can stay in our country. And well, we don't have toilets or electricity or vitamins, but man, that's all right. "

      I am it, and you are it, and she is it, and that is that.

      Hobo wine

      (Kim Fowley) 1969

      I got a nickel
      You got a dime
      Put 'em together
      And drink some wine

      Drinkin' wine, wine, wine
      Drinkin' wine, wine, wine
      Drinkin' fine wine
      Fine wine all the time

      You grab your girl
      I'll grab mine
      Rock it together
      And drink some wine

      Stop your speed
      Put down your weed
      Fine red wine
      Is all we need

      Grab your hound dog
      I'll grag mine
      Get it together
      And guzzle some wine


      Dangerous visions

      (Lyn Dewolf & Kim Fowley) 1969

      Here I stand with six black horses
      Tryin' to find a door
      Deeply engrossed in a reservation
      We're not feeling anymore
      I'm scared of my own shadow
      And you look sort of tired
      Do those foolish people speak cor us
      The lonely ones that life defies
      The ones that burn at life's fire

      I see a dangerous vision
      We're livin' in a strange
      A strange kind of time
      I tell you I see a dangerous vision
      Should we run, shoold we walk
      Or should we climb

      Here I stand with ten white horses
      But I cry a little too loud
      I'm devoted to my preservation
      I'm just a face in the crowd
      And I often wonder if I'm dreaming
      Or is the pain, is the pain
      Is the pain, is the pain
      Is the pain, is the pain so real
      Why with, why with this great hardship
      I'd ask you and I'd sit you right down
      And I'd only ask one question
      Can you feel, just, just, just
      Just what I feel, feel, feel, feel

      And I see a dangerous vision
      We're livin' in a strange
      Strange kind of time
      But I see a dangerous vision
      And should we run, walk
      Or should we climb
      Oh should we run, should we run
      Should we run, should we run
      Should we run, should we run
      Should we run
      Should, should, should, should

      I see, well, I see
      Well, a dangerous vision
      We're living in a strange
      Strange kind of time

      Well, well I see
      I see a dangerous vision
      We're livin' we're livin'
      In a strange kind of time, time, time
      Well, I see a dangerous, dangerous
      Dangerous, dangerous vision
      Should we run, or should we walk
      Or should we climb
      Climb, climb, climb, climb

      Well, I see, well, I see, see, see
      A dangerous vision
      We live in a strange kind of time
      Should we run, or should we walk
      Or should we climb

      Well, I wanna ask
      Well, I wanna ask
      But you already know
      know, know, know, know
      Should we run, or should we walk
      Or should we climb...

      We're comin' up on the moon
      Wee a one-cyed owl
      Got my voodoo magic
      Don't need no voodoo magic
      Zombies in the cold

      Tori Amos Drinking Teardrops In The Twilight Zone

      (Kim Fowley) 1995

      I could be your mirror,
      I could be your fire.
      Maybe in a glory
      Tell me all your stories.
      You'll always be the sword,
      You'll always be the stone
      Tori Amos drinking teardrops in the twilight zone. (3 times)

      [Female voice] Tori drinks teardrops in twilight its true.
      Tori Amos drinking teardrops in the twilight zone.

      In your ivory tower,
      Got the golden hours, Tori.
      In your ivory tower,
      Singing all your stories.

      Tori, Tori,
      Drinking teardrops in the twilight zone.
      Tori Amos drinking teardrops in the twilight zone. (3 times)

      Come on and touch me.
      You can hold me tight.
      Together forever we must remember
      The silent conversation.
      The dream...[unintelligible].
      Our picnic by the boat yard,
      You'll be the only one.
      Tori Amos drinking teardrops in the twilight zone.
      Lying in the darkness
      The moon reflects your soul.
      Move a little closer
      If you're feeling cold.
      Oh Tori Amos I'm so glad you're here.

      So come on Tori Amos,
      Call me at my home.
      Tori Amos I don't wanna be alone.
      Tori Amos drinking teardrops in the twilight zone.
      The nightmares of the dreams,
      The secret of her screams.
      She'll always be the sword,
      She'll always be the stone.
      Tori Amos drinking teardrops in the twilight zone.
      Tori Amos drinking teardrops in the twilight zone.
      [Female voice] Tori drinks teardrops in twilight its true.
