Like a tide retreating their tears broke the dam The sky looked angry as it blinded them Poised to be haunted all I wanted were a few broken mirrors and a few years to fix You Fa la la la Fa la la la Fa la la la la Like the rust stained bumpers takin' offers at my knee Like the dead cast shadows over my friend Willy Well baby don't be taunted by the shine off that moon I bet my monkey will never forget You CHROME Yeah it's shiny and cheap Groovin' on that grapevine like your honey grows off my batteries CHROME Ya Ya Yeah CHROME Ya Ya Yeah Well baby save some Chrome for me Like a tide retreating their tears broke the dam The sky looked angry as it blinded them Poised to be haunted all I wanted were a few broken mirrors and a few years to fix You Fa la la la Fa la la la la Solo CHROME Yeah baby it's shiny and cheap Well groovin' on that grapevine like your honey glows off my batteries CHROME CHROME Ya Ya Yeah CHROME Ya Ya Yeah

Well if time were a train everybody want to get it back to a time when you could of in that rusty blue Cadillac Hell Hound's on your trail baby Well everybody knows that the track only goes to the next depot Like pinchin' needles from the haystack Hell Hound's on your trail baby Well everybody's got to leave their war machine behind Baby she don't need to live maybe she don't need to live or die Gotta grease them wheels and let that train slip by Why's your skin so pale? Maybe that Hell Hound's on your trail Slip Well your sky is a drug my life's just a rehab Gee he had it all but then I guess your monkey don't fall far from the tree Hey Everybody Look They got an elevator for me Looks real fancy Goes down as far as the eye can see Well everybody gotta leave their war machine behind Baby she don't need to live maybe she don't need to live or die Just gotta grease them wheels and watch that train slip by Why's your skin so pale Willy? Slip Your dog Your dog house is next to the train tracks Solo Well everybody's got to leave their war machine behind Baby she don't need to live maybe she don't need to live or die Just gotta grease them wheels and let that old train slip by Why's your skin so pale baby? Maybe that Hell Hound's on your trail baby That Hell Hound's on your trail baby Hell Hound's on your trail?

Change the freakin' channel before Daddy snaps Momma ain't happy til the neighbours hear her whip crack A fly on the wall on the fly will peer through the corner of its lazy eye Blue blue blue blue blue Well the band don't play if the club ain't payin' The band don't play baby you know what I'm sayin' Nobody knows nobody Somebody call somebody I gotta find somebody that won't freak me out in this Gong Show Town That's right Jimmy Let her buck Change the freakin' menu before I gotta change my pants Bible belts and bloody belt buckles for this red neck barn dance Two ply on the wall when the whiskey ain't right Pick a cherry from the tree and it ain't ripe Blah blah blah blah blah Well the band don't play if that hen ain't layin' Well the band don't play Baby what square you playin'? Nobody knows nobody Somebody call somebody I gotta find somebody that won't freak me out in your Gong Show Town ew who ew who who ew who who who who ew who who Snaid in a cough

Frankie Frankie Have you faked your death lately? I'm Frankie Well dance me a jig when your dance floor is high Roll me up a guinea pig for that spirit in your sky before I'm burned by this afternoon sun I may make my middle finger but Hey I'm glad you all did come Well I could change your life but you'll always be the same Well I could be the skirt throwing the dirt on your grave Well your blood may be gone but I'm still crawlin' through your veins It'll be the last time the sun will shine onto your face Hey I'm glad you all did come Tweedle de do Tweedle de dumb Baby there's a Vampire in Edmonton Tweedle de do Tweedle de dumb Baby it could be only one There's a Vampire in Edmonton Frankie Frankie Have you been born again lately? Come on Baby I'm Frankie Dance me a jiggy jig when your dance floor is high Roll me up a guinea pig for that spirit in your sky before I'm burned by this afternoon sun I may make my middle finger but Hey I'm glad you all did come Well I could change your life but you'll always be this lame Well I could tear out your heart but you'll always be my slave Well I may hear your cries and the blood clots in my eyes Sometimes the monkey shines all over this place and the rope slips away but Hey I'm glad you all did come Tweedle de do Tweedle de dumb Baby there's a Vampire in Edmonton Tweedle de do Tweedle de dumb It could be anyone There's a Vampire in Edmonton Solo

about

This second album by Canadian guitar virtuoso/composer/wildman Les Robot, The Electric Arc, displays his total command of the rock guitar genre and his willingness to mix it with country, disco, blues, and a Zappa-like sense of humor. Tracks like "Shoes,” and “Implosion” explode with Robot’s easy genius. His technical skills are stellar but it is the songwriting, compositional muscle, and extraordinary individuality that conspire to make Les Robot a compelling guitarist on this planet or any other.
