Bloody Hammer

Roky Erickson
Demon is up in the attic to the left
My eye turns to the left to say, "no"
You said, "First, I am a special one."
I never hammered my mind out
I never have the bloody hammer
I never have the bloody hammer
I never have the bloody hammer
I never have the bloody
I never have the bloody
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
or that they'd have a bloody hammer
or that they'd have a bloody hammer
or that they'd have a bloody
or that they'd have a bloody
or that they'd have a bloody hammer
Second, I am this special one
My eyes, green and blue
dart safely unbegotten
to the left to say, "no"
While the others with their hair turned white,
each 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
I never have the bloody
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
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"
One bat in lightning, one bat in rain
one bat blanks wolfsbane for
Doctor O'Chane, Doctor O'Chane
the ghost says "beat it with your chain"
the ghost says "drag your chain away, Doctor O'Chane"
All bats are as Dracula vampires, vampires in the rain
vampires in the lightning for
Doctor O'Chane, Doctor O'Chane
the baby ghost from the 1900s says "beat it with your chain"
The baby ghost says "don't drag your spoon, don't drag your chain away,
Doctor O'Chane"
The demon is up in the attic to the left
My eye turns to the left to say, "no"
He said, "First, I am a special one."
I never hammered my mind out
I never have the bloody hammer
I never have the bloody hammer
I never have the bloody hammer
I never have the bloody
I never have the bloody
I never have the bloody hammer
