Track Lyrics
Killing Is My Business… and Business Is Good! Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am a sniper; always hit the mark
Paid assassin working after dark
Looking through the night using infra-red
Target's on you, aimed at your head
[Bridge]
Ten thousand up front
Ten thousand when I'm through
And I know just what to do
And you know I'll do it, too
And I'm coming back for you
Oh, back for you
[Verse 2]
I do the "getting rid of"
Don't tell me why
Don't need to hear the truth
Don't need the lies
Now pay me quickly
And now we're through
It brings me great pleasure
To say my next job is you
[Chorus/Guitar Solo]
Don't you know that
Killing is my business, oh, and business is good?
Killing is my business, oh, and business is good
Killing is my business, oh, and business is good
Killing is my business, oh, and business is good
Killing is my business, oh, and business is good
Killing is my business, oh, and business is good
Killing is my business, oh, and business is good
Killing is my business, oh, and business is good
[Outro]
You'd better believe it
Ahahahahahahahaha!
Ah... ah... ah... ah... ah...
Skull Beneath the Skin Lyrics
[Intro]
Whoa!
Whoa!
[Guitar Solo: Dave Mustaine]
[Verse 1]
Mean and infectious, the evil prophets rise
Dance of the Macabre, as witches streak the sky
Decadent worship of black magic sorcery
In the womb of the Devil's Dungeon trapped without a plea, oh
[Guitar Solo: Dave Mustaine]
[Verse 2]
Seething in agony, necrosis is the fate
Pins stickin' through the skin, the venom now sedates
Locked in a pillory, nowhere to be found
Screaming for your life, no one hears a sound
Help me!
[Verse 3]
Prepare the patient's scalp to peel away
Metal caps his ears, he'll hear not what we say
Solid steel visor riveted across his eyes
Iron staples close his jaws so no one hears his cries
[Chorus]
The skull beneath the skin
The skull beneath
[Verse 4]
Now you're drawn and quartered, your bones will make the 'X'
Symbol stands for poison and it's chained to your head
And as we fold your arms to make the holy cross
We cross the crucifix; religion has been lost
[Chorus]
The skull beneath the skin
The skull beneath the skin
[Guitar Solo: Dave Mustaine]
[Outro]
The skull beneath the skin
Mechanix Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Imagine you were at my station
And you brought your motor to me
You're a burner, yeah, a real motor car
[Pre-Chorus]
Said you wanna get your order filled
Made me shiver when I put it in
Pumping just won't do, y'know, lucky for you
[Chorus]
Whoever thought you'd be better
At turning a screw than me?
I do it for my life
Made my drive shaft crank, made my pistons bulge
Made my ball bearings melt from the heat
Oh, yeah-yeah!
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
We were shifting gears hard when we took off
Put tonight all four on the floor
When we hit top end, you know it feels too slow
[Pre-Chorus]
Said you wanna get your order filled
Made me shiver when I put it in
Pumping just won't do, y'know, lucky for you
[Chorus]
Whoever thought you'd be better
At turning a screw than me?
I do it for my life
Made my drive shaft crank, made my pistons bulge
Made my ball bearings melt from the heat
Oh, yeah-yeah!
Oohh
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I'm giving you my room service
And you know it's more than enough
Oh, one more time, you know I'm in love
[Pre-Chorus]
Said you wanna get your order filled
Made me shiver when I put it in
Pumping just won't do, y'know, lucky for you
[Chorus]
Whoever thought you'd be better
At turning a screw than me?
I do it for my life, fuck yeah!
Made my drive shaft crank, made my pistons bulge
Made my ball bearings melt from the heat
Oh, yeah-yeah!
Huh!
[Guitar Solo: Dave Mustaine]
[Outro]
Hahahahaha!
Yeah!
