10. MONSTER'S BALL

This is a fucked-up situation here. Even one night of sex can change your life forever, whether negatively or positively. In this track, the "dancers" at this "Ball" are in for a rude awakening after they "dance all night". They are greeted unexpectedly by demons dragging their now-defunct bodies to Hell. Another victim of the "Monster's Ball'. (HIV). The beat is like a carousel, increasing in guitar tension. Think of a punk circus adveritsement.
 
 
10: MONSTER'S BALL
 
 
 
Verse 1:
 
Step right up
 
To this macabre occasion
 
Where bodies will move
 
In a half-note rotation
 
And virgins will no longer
 
Claim their innocence
 
While the Monster's Ball
 
Is a-turning
 
 
Verse 2:
 
Come one, come all
 
There's more space on this dance floor
 
The one stipulation
 
You must take your pants off
 
And watch as your anatomies coincide
 
As the Monster's Ball
 
Never adjourning
 
 
Verse 3:
 
By now,
 
You must be intrigued with delight
 
As you move toward the heavens
 
Careening in lights
 
Tumultuous passion
 
Shall come at a price
 
For the Monster's Ball
 
Isn't worthless
 
 
Verse 4:
 
The nympho erotica
 
Becomes too dense
 
You seem to enjoy it
 
But feel rather drenched
 
Examine your clothes
 
And find blood has invaded
 
The Monster's Ball
 
Still keeps on turning
 
 
Verse 5:
 
Your partner is calling for you to return
 
But your blood-soaked t-shirt
 
Has you starting to learn
 
You've expunged your soul
 
For a night of temptation
 
The Monster's Ball
 
Now disconcerting
 
 
Verse 6:
 
Your skin becomes pale
 
As your body is melting
 
The dancers, once graceful,
 
Have demons enveloping
 
And even your partner
 
Is human no more
 
For the Monster's Ball's
 
Starting its burning
 
 
Verse 7:
 
You cry out for help
 
And receive no reply
 
Just screams of the dancers
 
Who want to know why
 
How this penetrating of each other's selves
 
Can keep the Monster's Ball
 
Encouraging
 
 
Verse 8:
 
Skeletons accost you
 
And usher you down
 
The long stairs of brimstone
 
Right into the ground
 
How one night of passion
 
Can eternally damn you
 
Is what keeps the Monster's Ball
 
Turning...
 
 
(Instrumental Breakdown)
 
 
Chorus:
 
Now come one, come all!
 
And enter these hallowed walls
 
So come while you can
 
For the last, final dance
 
Will toss you out into the dogs---
 
Come one, come all!!
 
With salacious greed, we fall
 
Death must be traveled
 
We'll not let you last
 
As you join in on the Monster's Ball
 
 
(Laughs)
