DEMONICS- Ritual On the Beach LP/CD

RITUAL ON THE BEACH

The moon comes up, the sun goes down
Girls with tans of golden brown are swaying by the fireside.
Lava flows underground
The perfect sacrifice is found and we're slaying on the beach tonight.
Fresh blood, a case of beer, surf's up, and the weekend's here.
It's a beautiful night for a Ritual on the Beach!
Fire erupts, it burns the sow.
Human flesh, the devil's chow, we're raging, stars are so bright,
The meat is tough, I heard a growl.
Spillin' blood's a party fowl, we're bathing in the moonlight.
True love, never fear, your blood tastes just like beer.
It's a beautiful night for a Ritual on the Beach!
Scarlet sand, a sacred vow,
Spirits are upon us now we're hangin' with the gods tonight.
The dead have risen from the ground.
They dig that California sound and they're singin' Death is alright.
Fresh blood, a case of beer, surf's up, and the weekend's here.
It's a beautiful night for a Ritual on the Beach!

MAKAHA

The hot sun warms the sand, illuminating the sacred land.
The dark one with the golden tan intimidates the pasty man.
You better leave if Johnny Boy says ö the west side demands respect.
You dropped in on the world's best, so pack your shit 'cuz they're not impressed.
Crossed fingers and a captive queen,
Disolving dreams of sovereignty.
She lingers in a world of thieves,
Revolving doors in Paradise.
God's country lost and found, Ku-tiki rules this town.
The sea parted and angels bowed, the day Sunny took the Triple Crown.
Crossed fingers and a captive queen,
Disolving dreams of sovereignty.
She lingers in a world of thieves,
Revolving doors in Paradise.
They say poverty breeds crime, that's what they say, why would they lie?
Its all yours, you got a rite. You wanna surf, do you wanna fight?
Crossed fingers and a captive queen,
Disolving dreams of sovereignty.
Lost battles in Waikiki,
Revolving door economy.
Last outpost in an endless sea,
It's all that's left, just let it be.
The eagle landed and made you pay
For sunny skies on a winter's day.

SECTOR NINE

King of the Mountain, Master of Erratic Speed,
Hold that line, Man, you're out of control.
Winds are howlin', the monster's gonna feed,
If you can't hang now, you better go home.
We're all gonna die, so we live to ride.
Sector Nine, Sector Nine, Nine ball wheels, I'm rollin' fine.
In a tuck, turnin' white, bomb the hills all the time,
On my sector, brnad new Sector Nine.
Feels like thunder rollin' under your feet.
This is dakine, Man, it's out of control.
Must be doin' a hundred, the signs are hard to read.
Hang on tight, now don't let go.
Better stand aside, I got a license to fly.
Sector Nine, Sector Nine, Nine ball wheels, I'm rollin' fine.
In a tuck, turnin' white, bomb the hills all the time,
On my sector, brand new Sector Nine.
King of the Mountain, Master of Erratic Speed,
Hold that line, Man, you're out of control.
Winds are howlin', the monster's gonna feed,
Hang on tight now, here we go.
Sector Nine, Sector Nine, Nine ball wheels, I'm rollin' fine.
In a tuck, turnin' white, bomb the hills all the time,
On my sector, brand new Sector Nine.

MOTHER SUPERIOR

She walks alone at night, cobblestones and fading light,
Down to the old garage where the beast awaits inside.
Cobwebs and crucifixes, carburetors and racing stripes,
Fire up the electronic ignition, the demon comes alive.
Street races every night, rock-n-roll, and church on Sunday,
Sometimes she can't decide, a sinner or a saint.
Go, Mother Superior, yeah, the word's gettin' round,
She breaks all barriers, the fastest chick in town.
She's got black interior, full stereo sound,
You're gonna feel inferior when the Lady shuts you down.
Niter midnight confessions, shadows appear on the wall.
Spirits from other dimensions materialize in the hall.
Union of car and driver, she's got a winnin' pair,
It's one unholy communion, hell-bound and she don't care.
Street races every night, rock-n-roll, and church on Sunday,
Sometimes she can't decide, a sinner or a saint.
Go, Mother Superior, yeah, the word's getting' round,
She breaks all barriers, the fastest chick in town.
She's got black interior, full stereo sound,
You're gonna feel inferior when the Lady shuts you down.

BIKINI BITCH

You better back out, she's comin' down. The bitch is on today.
You're a fat cow, and there's no doubt you're just getting' in the way.
Life sucks when you're the one on the inside.
Tough luck, she's the girl on the outside.
Bikini Bitch, surfer girl, the coldest bitch in the surfin' world,
Bikini Bitch has a checkered past. You better back out if you're comin' down last.
Cruisin' around, the booty is out. The world revolves around me.
Paradise found, sold by the pound, never been seventeen.
Life sucks when you're the one on the inside.
Tough luck, the bitch is on a right.
Bikini Bitch, surfer girl, the coldest bitch in the surfin' world,
Bikini Bitch has a checkered past. You better back out if you're comin' down last.
Back in town, Santa Cruz town, there's terror on the streets.
She's bummin' out the tourist crowd. Your dog should have been on a leash.
Life sucks, so why don't you just go die,
Sunburned creature of the night.
Bikini Bitch, surfer girl, the coldest bith in the surfin' world,
Bikini Bitch has a checkered past. You better back out if you're comin' down last.

BOYS LIKE ME

It doesn't matter where you come from,
A rich kid or a skid row bum,
You might say it's not OK
But I can tell, you're blown away.
You know I've seen the truth and I'm here to testify,
Right before my eyes, its got that beat and it ain't no lie.
I'm talkin' 'bout girls like me, girls like me.
Girls like me were born to rock-n-roll.
I'm talkin' 'bout boys like me, boys like me.
Boys like me were born to rock-n-roll.
You know I've seen the truth and I'm here to testify,
Right before my eyes, it's got that beat and it ain't no lie.
I'm talkin' 'bout girls like me, girls like me.
Girls like me were born to rock-n-roll.
I'm talkin' 'bout boys like me, boys like me.
Boys like me were born to rock-n-roll.
Born to rock-n-roll.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SUN

What happened to the sun, the yellow man's gone away.
It isn't any fun when the skies are all gray.
She told me not to come I was better off in bed all day.
What happened to the sun, I only wanted it to stay.
When I get cold at night, I just think of her,
Those pretty eyes and long brown hair.
It hits me all at once someday she's gonna take a bus
And she'll be gone with a care.
What happened to the sun, the yellow man's gone away.
It isn't any fun when the skies are all gray.
She told me not to come I was better off in bed all day.
What happened to the sun, I only wanted it to stay.
My friends all took me out and tried to cheer me up.
I'll be all right when the skies are fair.
I knew this day would come. She's getting on that bus.
She's movin' on beyond the tears.
What happened to the sun, the yellow man's gone away.
It isn't any fun when the skies are all gray.
She told me not to come I was better off in bed all day.
What happened to the sun, I only wanted it to stay.

EVIL ANGEL

Met her in a mortuary she's anything but scary.
She's got a face that could stop a heart, and I could tell from the start.
Her ass is really cherry I'm glad I ain't no fairy.
She wants a man that can play the part, I'm in love with a tart.
Green lights are on again green means "go".
My slicks are diggin' in, she's somewhere down the road.
My evil angel, what a sight to see.
My evil angel, girl of my dreams.
My evil angel, no soul to sell.
My evil angel, I'll follow you all the way to hell.
I haven't got a penny, but I'm as good as any.
I'm gonna find a way to her heart, she's off the charts.
Every baby needs a daddy, she's rollin up a fatty
In her plum crazy purple 340 Dart, she's got a bitchin' car.
Green lights are on again green means "go".
My slicks are diggin' in, she's somewhere down the road.
My evil angel, what a sight to see.
My evil angel, girl of my dreams.
My evil angel, no soul to sell.
My evil angel, I'll follow you all the way to hell.
Met her in a mortuary she's anything but scary.
Her pretty face could stop a heart, and I could tell from the start.
She's got evil eyes like Carrie it's all just momentary,
She's just the girl to play the part, I'm in love with a tart.
Green lights are on again green means "go".
My slicks are diggin' in, she's somewhere down the road.
My evil angel, what a sight to see.
My evil angel, girl of my dreams.
My evil angel, no soul to sell.
My evil angel, I'll follow you all the way to hell.

CALIFORNIA NIGHTMARE

The other night I had a vision in my dreams,
A sunny beach on a summer's day.
I saw a beautiful rendition of the past,
A city kissed by golden rays.
Then a thief in the night stole my dreams, and now I'm so scared.
Cold sweats and fever plague my sleep is this the dawning of despair,
Or just a California nightmare?
California nightmare!
California nightmare!
California, my little dream is runnin' scared.
Still frames of long ago distorting in my head,
Endless waves and surfer girls
Give way to modernized confusion and unrest
In Gary Usher's Brave New World.
Now I find better times drifting slowly out of nowhere,
Caught in the ever changing tide, headed out to God knows where.
This is a California nightmare.
California nightmare!
California nightmare!
California, this is the dawning of despair.
I had a dream a fallen angel spoke to me,
Her trembling voice was clear as day.
Amidst the ruins of your California Dream,
The dream is all that's left to save.
Now I find better times drifting slowly out to nowhere,
Caught in the ever changing tide is this the dawning of despair,
Or just a California nightmare?
California nightmare!
California nightmare!
California, your little dream is runnin' scared.

ALOHA OE

Proudly swept the rain cloud by the cliffs,
As on it glided through the trees
Still following ever the "liko"
The "Ahihi lehua" of the vale·
Farewell to thee,
Farewell to thee, Thou charming one who dwellst among the bow'rs.
One fond embrace,
Before I now depart,
Until we meet again.
Thus sweet memories come back to me,
Bringing fresh remembrance of the past
Dearest one, yes, thou art mine own.
From thee, true love shall ne'er depart
(Chorus)
I have seen and watched thy loveliness.
Thous sweet Rose of Maunawili,
And 'tis there the birds oft love to dwell
And sip the honey from thy lips.Liliuokalani. She wrote this song and from behind her prison wall, she heard the
footsteps in the hall ö her captors pacing out the fall. But never did she fail to give the
gift of song that words should live beyond her time, a sad goodbye, Farewell Hawai'i!
