Badass Blister 7

These machines mark the end
Now you better screw the bolts tight
get a new hat for the scarecrow
These machines mark the end
Every day the cat comes back
I’m comfortable in my chair
and the demons in the air
are wriggling their toes
Burning in the sun
For a new lifetime
Got to get it down
Before all them skeletons get here
Some would say you can have it for free
Others would just bitch as they please
Some would say the red one is static
Others would just
funk the magic
These machines mark the end
Turn the lights off
And stand by me in the darkness
And it seems you’ve caught the virus
That I’ve been living in
These machines mark the end
if you really want to know
Your nightmare speaks desecration
Burning in the sun
For a new lifetime
Got to get it down
Before all them skeletons get here
Some would say you can have it for free
Others would just bitch as they please
Some would say the red one is static
Others would just
funk the magic
These machines mark the end
We can’t have you forever
so slumber deep beneath the waves
and wait out the cataclysm
These machines mark the end
and the breads rise like smoke
don't wait any longer
for light to shine through the veil
These machines mark the end
Now you better screw the bolts tight
get a new hat for the scarecrow
These machines mark the end
Every day the cat comes back
I’m comfortable in my lair
and the demons underground
are wriggling their toes

Song For A False Prophet
JJ Mickey
I ain't no messiah
my name is J. Zeus Christie
sorry for confusing y'all
I ain't no messiah
my name is J. Zeus Christie
I'm not the chosen one
Hallejulah how you doing
never risen from the grave
never haveIi died before
'cept that one time
in the operating room
for 3 seconds said the doctor
I am not a holy man
know nothing of promised land
I am not a holy man
feet never walked desert sand
I am not a holy man
know nothing of promised land
I ain't no messiah
my name is J. Zeus Christie
sorry for confusing y'all
I ain't no messiah
my name is J. Zeus Christie
I'm not the chosen one
Hallejulah how you doing
never been put to death
never have been crucified
but if I must I can
hold out my arms
pretty damn wide
I am not a holy man
know nothing of promised land
I am not a holy man
feet never walked desert sand
iI love my neighbour
like Homer loves Ned
someday I'm gonna take a shovel
and smack him on the head
I am not a holy man
feet never walked desert sand
I am that I am
just as you are
as you are...
I am not a holy man
know nothing of promised land
I am not a holy man
feet never walked desert sand
just get off my lawn
and go home now
move along
and go home now

Smoke Out
JJ Mickey
a once in a lifetime chance
to find this grave danger
a once in a lifetime chance
to meet the faceless stranger
a once in a lifetime chance
to find this grave danger
a once in a lifetime chance
to face the endless ranger
let's gather the water
wash out that dirty mouth
let's wash that dirty mouth of yours
sparkly clean
the best you've ever been
laugh out loud
stick out from the crowd
i'll light the fire that smokes you out
a once in a lifetime chance
to find this grave danger
a once in a lifetime chance
to meet the faceless stranger
a once in a lifetime chance
to find this grave danger
a once in a lifetime chance
to face the endless ranger
let's gather the water
wash out that dirty mouth
let's wash that dirty mouth of yours
pearly white
a better source of light
a moonlight trappers delight
even in this darkest night
i'll light the fire that smokes you out
pussywhipped henpecked
and chewed to a dogend
stripped naked and chained by the neck
howling like a wild animal at night
nothing can make you feel it's alright
so dunk your head in
tuck in your tail
tomorrow comes faster as you thrash and flail
waiting watching hoping listening
as you grip to the edge
a banging on the roof
the sound of a sledgehammer
frequency jammer ringing in the back of your head
now you're dead

The Child
JJ Mickey
she’s a sweet girl
waiting for you
she’s the whole world
but what can you do
he's a big man
taking on the future
he's got the world in his hands
but nobody will understand
When you’re all alone
He brings it on home
Playing on the electric xylophone
ting ting dada ling
everything’s changing
I’m going to turn back time
ting ting da ring ring
And if she would ever go to him
It would mean more than anything
And he’s your whole world
But did you forget
It would break the heart of the child
when she's all alone
it's like you've turned to stone
When you’re all alone
He brings it on home
Playing on the electric xylophone
ting ting dada ling
everything’s changing
I’m going to turn back time
ting ting da ring ring

Tears Of Scarlet
JJ Mickey
Tears of Scarlet
tears of scarlet
fall to the floor
mess up the carpet
naked creature in the corner
come out to play
in the attic
with nail clippers in the winter
and the wooden splinters
can i name you
how does little wire
sound to you
it's the best i can do
so watch the movie
you'll be ordained and groovy
with a mind wide open
hey little wire
you're preaching to the choir
hello little wire
string up the naughty liar
hola little wire
lost in empty desire
hey little wire
you're preaching to the choir
hello little wire
string up the naughty liar
hola little wire
be the stone
be the fire
my cockatrice does magic tricks
my cockatoo does them too
don't fall in the honey trap
beware the beaver in a domino mask
we all know true love is wet
face the bees and don't regret
the video is your straightjacket
and i'll make sure you never forget
tears of scarlet and caramel
fall into your wishing well
beautiful creature
what shall we have for breakfast
eggs from the nest
or jam on a toasted bun
sweet strawberries on my thumb
forgot you were so young
and curious
dark red cherries on my tongue
cooked the spinach
in the sun
strangers at the door
they know nothing
you my world between
sky and floor
hey little wire
you're preaching to the choir
hello little wire
string up the naughty liar
hola little wire
lost in empty desire
hey little wire
you're preaching to the choir
hello little wire
string up the naughty liar
hola little wire
be the stone
be the fire
my cockatrice does magic tricks
my cockatoo does them too
don't fall in the honey trap
beware the beaver in a domino mask
we all know you look best in grey
face the bees and learn to play
the music is your tourniquet
so hold on tight never go away
you'd better let me go
cause i'm innocent
won't be long til i go
off of the deep end
you'd better let me go
cause i'm innocent
and i won't ever do it again
you'd better let me go
cause i'm innocent
don't you dare put me away
i'm not a criminal
i'm just ugly
and i would do it all
for money
hey little wire
you're preaching to the choir
hello little wire
string up the naughty liar
hola little wire
lost in empty desire
hey little wire
you're preaching to the choir
hello little wire
string up the naughty liar
hola little wire
be the stone
be the fire
my cockatrice does magic tricks
my cockatoo does them too
don't fall in the honey trap
beware the beaver in a domino mask
we all know you look best in grey
face the bees and learn to play
the music is your tourniquet
so hold on tight never go away
hey little wire
you're preaching to the choir
hello little wire
string up the naughty liar
hola little wire
lost in empty desire
hey little wire
you're preaching to the choir
hello little wire
string up the naughty liar
hola little wire
be the stone
be the fire
my cockatrice does magic tricks
my cockatoo does them too
don't fall in the honey trap
beware the beaver in a domino mask
we all know true love is wet
face the bees and don't regret
the video is your straightjacket
and i'll make sure you never forget

Afrika Black Magic (Africa Black Magick)
JJ Mickey
summer doll
plain man
in the humble jungle
mushroomclouds
and the bumpers rumble
chain smoking
jive talking
skinny eel
three course meal
one two jump beat
damn dirty mean street
a sheik and a rambler
in the summer heat
be a freak a freak a freak
in this stranger danger
everyone needs a ranger
rainy season
monsoon
river fish
and the hungry baboon
black magic that is fine
for vivaldi and frankenstein
beat boxing
rock the socks off
trouble in the rubble
one two jump beat
damn dirty mean street
a sheik and a rambler
in the summer heat
be a freak a freak a freak

Sweet Jones
JJ Mickey
Sweet Jones chewing bones
Well wishing all who find
You at home
Sweet Jones hidden grim
Hiding the monster
Until they go in
Sweet Jones in the wood
It's not your fault
you did all you could
Sweet Jones staying up late
helping the cops investigate
when evening comes
there's a happy man
bones falling from the table
sweet jones happy man
when evening comes
there's a happy man
bones falling down the stairs
sweet jones deadly man
cut them open
pull out the good stuff
pull out the bad stuff
and throw it away
dig in now
dig the hole
slice them open
pull out the good stuff
pull out the bad stuff
and throw it away
dig the hole
dig it deeper
Sweet Jones gathers stones
digs a pit to bury the bones
Sweet Jones sound the chime
The children are coming
It’s dinner time
Sweet Jones opens the door
big man tackles
down to the floor
Sweet Jones face all red
When the men came in
And shot you dead
when evening comes
there's a happy man
bones falling from the table
sweet jones happy man
when evening comes
there's a happy man
bones falling down the stairs
sweet jones deadly man
cut them open
pull out the good stuff
pull out the bad stuff
and throw it away
dig in now
dig the hole
slice them open
pull out the good stuff
pull out the bad stuff
and throw it away
dig the hole
dig it deeper

The Magnesium Song

Faggis
JJ Mickey
you like the freak inside of me
with the face I never want to see
big bad wolf running wildly
like a runaway train put mildly
happy just to trip over the wires
and shoot out all your tires
leaving you to wait on the curb
crazy like a drive by masquerade
not to go so far as to say
it’s twisted the things you say
blast off away from reality
you bet the bullet won’t end your life
open wound from an x-acto knife
goat head so milky
and full of holes
just like a big bowl of cheerios
little birdy it's time to fly
not too close to the sun
or you're going to fry
crazy like a drive by masquerade
or a salmon rocked fueled by lemonade
no matter where we are
without even moving you go so far
faggis
get it on
turn a trick
just like haggis on a stick
get it on
turn a trick
just like haggis on a stick
come on
move so quick
just like haggis on a stick

Thorn in a Storm
JJ Mickey
an empty room
cardboard boxes
full of postcards
and mismatched socks
black and grey
on a cold windy night
living by candlelight
in a place outside time
with no pain
and no delight
a widow by the window
watches the garden and the graves
withering flowers
broken glass
the monster is waiting
outside the locked door
she calls it
thorn in a storm
piercing eyes
so surprised to see you again
razor thin
and you go right in
find the pain that never ends
and they've all fallen down
the lost spirits and the leaves
those who fell from the moon
were fed with a spoon
til they choked and coughed it up
a letter and a photograph
in a sticky dresser draw
fading memories of a man who laughs
withering flowers
broken glass
the monster is waiting
outside the locked door
she calls it
thorn in a storm
piercing eyes
so surprised to see you again
razor thin
and you go right in
find the pain that never ends
a picket fence surrounds
this land of mist
at night she hears
a knocking like a banging fist
and she says that
this house of moths
the cost of disease
i just want to make my ambition
one with your need
and they've all fallen down
the lost spirits in the rain
those who fell from the sun
were the hungry ones
feeding on each other
until they were battered and worn
leaving nothing but a thorn in the storm
from the day you were born
he's been hunting your scent
dogs bark somewhere
out in the fog
sometimes she can hear
the croak of a frog
and then he says
this house of moths
the cost of disease
i just want to make your decision
one with my greed

Ninety-Nine

Like A Punk Rocker
JJ Mickey
like a punk rocker
you eat cabbage
bubble bath
dirt and oil
down your back
like a show stopper
you tie noose
break loose
pick locks
in the soup
bet you can't keep yourself fresh and crispy
til the end of the week
life in the brine doesn't suit you
life in the brain may dilute you
til there's nothing left at all
stir up and dissolve
i was only kidding
i know you're made of sweetness
like a flip flopper
you live the beef
spiral out
the lights fade
in your cream
like a wild logger
snow the blanket
fake words
sentimental dust
bet you can't keep yourself fresh and crispy
til the end of the month
life in the brine doesn't suit you
life in the brain may dilute you
til there's nothing left at all
man up and evolve
bet you can't keep yourself fresh and crispy
til the end of the day
life in the brine doesn't suit you
life in the brain may dilute you
til there's nothing left at all
stir up and dissolve

Originally 2 albums recorded ~2011 when I was around 19 years old. I sat on these recordings for a long time until a number of the songs grew on me enough to make this single album compiling the best of them. The Black Hole Task Force is abrasive experimental industrial noise and perhaps some of my best lyric writing to date.
