Moment of Panic Songtext
von Rumbletramp

A dog is rotting in the gutter near the tracks in east LA
The rats all swarm the pavement searching for the source of the decay
To gnaw and claw and scrape and scratch its guts with fervid glee
Strip down to the bone and scurry off into the street

Well it′s warm and wet and wrecked in ramshackled new orleans
The gaping hole in the wall matches up so vividly
With the one in my ribcage the fetid muscle keeping pace
With the whiskey it intakes and pumps to my extremities


So here's to all the gruesome times, here′s to the dismay
Cheers to grotesque growling things that snarl in the dark night
The world's a terrifying place, so clutch your loved ones tight
Keep your finger on the trigger and a sharp knife at your side

It's a shivering shaking coldsweat in humid st petersburg
Staring at a strange and sickly face in the mirror
Dark and haunted halls, weak with whiskey and withdrawls
Trembling fits of fear and the nightly night terrors

I′m screaming at your face in a dismal, dreary mountain town
The roaches in the oven all scatter at the sounds
That my tongue contorts to words, I swear this must be hell on earth
I′d never mean the things I say but I spit them anyway
