Roky Erickson Bloody Hammer Lyrics

Demon is up in the attic to the left
My eye turns to the left to say, "no"
You said, "First, I am the special one."
I never hammered my mind out
I never have the bloody hammer [x3]
I never have the bloody [x2]
I never have the bloody hammer

I am the doctor
I am the psychiatrist
To make sure they don't think that they'd hammer their minds out
or that they'd have a
or that they'd have a bloody hammer [x3]
or that they'd have a bloody [x2]
or that they'd have a bloody hammer

Second, I am the special one
My eyes, green and blue
and safely unbegotten
to the left to say, "no"
While the others with their hair turned white,
they just roll their eyes back to the top of their head
and hammer the attic floor with a bloody hammer
I never have the bloody hammer
I never have the bloody [x2]
I never have the bloody hammer

It's not a sledgehammer
It's not a chisel
It's not a train but a thought of unlimited horror for Dr. O'Chane
Dr. O'Chane

Baby ghost says beat it with your chains
Baby ghost says don't drag your chain away, Dr. O'Chane

Doctor O'Chane, Doctor O'Chane
the baby ghost says "beat it with your chain"
the baby ghost says "drag your chain away, Doctor O'Chane."

The ghost says, beat it with your chains
The ghost saysa drag your chain away, Dr. O'Trey

All bats are is Dracula vampires
Vampires in rain
Vampires in lightning for Dr. O'Chane
Dr. O'Chane

The baby ghost in the 1900s says beat it with your chain
The baby ghost says
don't drag your spoon, drag your chain away, Dr. O'Chane

Demon is up in the attic to the left
My eye turns to the left to say, "no"
You said, "First, I am the special one."
I never hammer my mind out
I never have the bloody hammer [x3]
I never have the bloody [x2]
I never have the bloody hammer
