Bad Habit 02:03
Burnin babe Desire Tells you hell’s in store Fingernails of Fire on the black blackboard CHORUS: Bad habit! Bad habit! Bad habit You want so bad Her eternal reign Ruler of seduction Yardstick of pain Super soul destruction CHORUS Bad habit! Bad habit! Bad habit You just can’t break Father, The Son, Unholy Nun She is the only one

Devil’s dirty chicken shack Try it once you’ll come right back Greezy, sleazy, addictive as smack Devil’s dirty chicken shack Tortured souls will serve you well Gives a new meaning to frying in hell Gives a new meaning to fowl smell Tortured souls will serve you well Doin’ what he does best! Charred flesh! He serves it fresh! Charred flesh! Doin' what he does best! Charred flesh! He serves it fresh…sometimes. Grab a slab of chicken grunge Try it, bite it, take the plunge Bring a friend and bring a sponge Grab a slab of chicken grunge Satan’s waitin' don’t delay Eat his dirty chicken today Satan’s waitin' don’t delay Eat his …maybe… chicken today! Doin' what he does best! Charred flesh! He serves it fresh! Charred flesh! Doin' what he does best! Charred flesh! He serves it fresh…sometimes.

You can’t just keep hiding Or else you will be missing The best times of your life You don’t gotta do nothing You just gotta show love What you’re made of CHORUS: Expose yourself to love! Let love catch you with your pants down Let love see you where you sit down, honey And get down honey, uh Expose yourself to love! Let love cough inside your sweet mouth Let love give you it’s disease now, honey please now honey, uh Love’s like an open sore If you don’t touch it It’ll just close over wouldn’t it be better To have open sores together? Let our love flow back and forth? Leave the door ajar and let love walk in on you! CHORUS

It’s not that easy Bein’ half goat half man You’d think that he has everything But he’s workin’ hard to get what he can He can’t just wander in the e-z-mart And grab some slick slacks off the shelf He’s dealing with some gnarly proportions Down below the belt So cut him some slacks! (4x) He used to have an army of tailors Working in a sweat shop in hell But lately the folks showin’ up there Don’t know how to sew that well He’s got a reputation to keep As a sharp dressin’ son of a bitch And lately he’s been loosin’ sleep So baby come on learn how to stitch! And cut him some slacks (4x) Why doesn’t he just go and get Alterations at a dry cleaners Well, church attendance has been real thin And he’s invisible to non-believers You can’t see him unless you’re a believer… You gotta believe! Then cut him some slacks (4x)

My baby don’t love me like he used to He used to call me all the time We used to see each other every day Now I can’t even get him on the line So I went to his house the other day And found him all alone in bed He swore up and down that he wanted to be with me But this is what I said: You only say that cause I have a knife to your balls If I weren’t threatening you, you wouldn’t wanna see me at all Do I have to do this every day to make you call? you only say that cause I have a knife to your balls …Yeah! I know that we’re gonna find a way babe I know you love me no matter what you say babe But why doesn’t it sound sincere when you say you wanna stay babe? I think you’re saying what I wanna hear when you tell me we’re okay… Yeah you only say that cause I have a knife to your balls If I weren’t threatening you, you wouldn’t wanna see me at all Do I have to do this every day to make you call you only say that cause I have a knife to your balls …Yeah!

He is evil And he is good to us And we’ll spread his love When he makes us famous Inverted Crosses! And pentagrams to him! Inverted Crosses! He is the light And the all consuming darkness We’d be delighted If he wrote another record for us Inverted Crosses! And pentagrams to him! Inverted Crosses! He gave us drugs And we brought them here to party with you Hopefully some babes’ll show up And let us… ooooooooh ooooooooh ooooooooh ooooooooh Inverted Crosses! And pentagrams to him! Inverted Crosses!

about

Inverted Crosses Portland, Oregon

Irreverent and hell-bent, Portland's tough but tender trio, Inverted Crosses, invites you to a feel-good session with Satan and asks you to "cut him some slacks!" Uta Plotkin's Benatar-esque vocals join smooth harmonies over devilishly catchy riffs for lyrically impudent songs in the tradition of The Dead Milkmen and Tenacious D. Check out the hot garbage that is Inverted Crosses! ... more
