He came walkin’ out the dark and on through the door I was pluckin’ on a tune in some minor chords He had a white hat, white shoes and white coat He said, “Boy I see you know the notes, but theres, somethin’ you need to learn, now granted your chops burn, but they be lackin’ soul and we all know.” It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing, boy It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing You can’t fake it, oh no, but I can help you make it, if you pay my fee, you see It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing, boy Now is you is or is you ain’t just fakin’? Now I know for sure I shoulda hit the door, but he said he’d give me hands of an automaton Get my groove locked on and I could rock on and on and on I asked him what are your terms, he said the deal is standard, I’ll give your songs some soul in exchange for yours I said I agree, now when you come see me, you’ll hear the whole crowd sing It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing, boy It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing I ain’t fakin, oh no, I’m just makin these strings sing because It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing, boy Now listen to me swing That rock don’t ever stop. Like the great bambino, I just keep on swingin” And when that old boy came back to collect his bill and take me down to hell I screamed Give me a chance to save my soul, he picked up his guitar and said if you can top this, then it’s yours I said that’s pretty good there, Mr. Robot Devil and you sure is one talented fellow But, you’re forgetting, in the land of groove I’m king, so sit your ass down, I’ll learn you how to swing And that’s the one that sent him back to hell, sulkin’, with his jaw draggin’ the floor and his eyes buggin’ out like he ain’t never seen a man rock before Needless to say I don’t hear much from the Robot Devil no more, but one thing I can tell ya he knows for sure It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing boy It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing Not a damn thing!

I remember when the plague came and it spread like wildfire through the cities and the towns And you know that it left me alone Since then every night the undead been knockin at my door And on my walls and on my windows they just keep tap tap tappin I said every damn night the undead been knockin on my door And it’s been quite an adjustment to make This loneliness is killin me and I can’t take much more Those damn bloodsuckers with their undead ruckus bout enough to drive a man insane And when the morning comes I’ll put a stake through each one of their cold dead hearts Every day’s the same I keep drudgin on and on and on Another day another body for the fire that funeral pyre keeps growin higher and higher They say a man can get used to just about anything if he has to But knowin that you’re completely alone's a feelin worse than any man ever knew This loneliness is killin me and I can’t take much more Those damn bloodsuckers with their undead ruckus bout enough to drive a man insane And when the morning comes around I’ll go house to house through the town and Put a stake through each one of their cold dead vampire hearts I said every damn night the undead been knockin at my door Knock knock knockin

At the point of travel half of my lifes way I trade the path that does not stray for the path of least resistance And it’s led me to a dark wood where I found the beats of three tearin my soul from me The leopard the lion the she wolf fierce and lean restrain this lust subdue my pride temper the fury of my greed The leopard the lion the she wolf fierce and lean restrain this lust subdue my pride temper the fury of my greed And I beseech thee oh author of aeneid lead us to that higher ground that so very few have found And my soul will find peace at last but it breaks my heart to know that I’ll leave you in the darkness Because you gave your life to The leopard the lion the she wolf fierce and lean restrain this lust subdue my pride temper the fury of my greed The leopard the lion the she wolf fierce and lean restrain this lust subdue my pride temper the fury of my greed So turn your back on them now for the only way out is down And we will journey south through the howls and the shouts of desperation For she allows no man to pass, all are fodder for the beast and each time she feeds she hungers more and more and more So leave this place to the beasts The leopard the lion the she wolf fierce and lean restrain this lust subdue my pride temper the fury of my greed The leopard the lion the she wolf fierce and lean restrain this lust subdue my pride temper the fury of my greed

The rain is pourin down fog is settin in through the darkness I can feel that somthin's circlin Wolfs bane in bloom under silver moon like a cry in the night I hear somthin howlin I should've listened at the slaughtered lamb when I asked a question bout their pentagram they said Stick to the roads steer clear of the moors and beware of the moon boy if you fear for your soul Cause there's a full moon rising Cause there's a full moon rising Now I’m down on all fours as I hit the floor temperature's rising blood boiling to the core Woke up in a hospital bed with a lump on my head and scratches up and down my chest Hallucinations of the livin dead they come to me and said to put a bullet in my head This transformation's such a terrible thing my body aches and screams as the beast is unleashed I said This transformation's such a terrible thing my body aches and screams as the beast is unleashed As the full moon rises Now I’m on the prowl and boy you better watch out when you hear me howl Reports are in cops are on the scene it's a hairy situation if you know what I mean People runnin scared chaos is everywhere quite a commotion cause by the beast in Piccadilly square I can feel the change as the full moon's rising I can feel the change as the full moon's rising

Nexus reflects us and we’ve lost our direction The sixth installment may have been a bad suggestion It leaves us with the question, do androids dream of electric sheep? I guess the fallout wasn’t as bad as they thought, oh no If you don’t count the mutations turning us into idiots But still we get by, doing what we must So I’m rollin’ with Deckard, hunting for skin jobs I’ve been around and I’ve seen a lot of things But, I’ll tell you somethin’, you ain’t seen nothin’, till you’ve seen an android weep Climbin’ that hill, climbin’ that hill Mercer’s still, climbin’ that hill
