Lyrics
How many tattoos do you have and what do they mean?
I have one, two, three, four, one, two
Three, four, five, six, seven, eight
This says 27, it's my lucky number
And it says "Tiem Pe Bram Pu" which is 27 in Khmer
This is a bull that I liked
This is a flower that I liked
This is a letter M that I liked
Picture of Louise Brooks, you know the drill
This says "Tungai Ni" which is today in Khmer, Cambodian language
This says "Muzikanya" which is musician in Amharic, Ethiopian language
And the seven is because me and my old friend Gus Brandt
We used to answer every question with the number seven
So it'd be like "What time are we gonna get there?"
"We're gonna get there at seven"
"What's your shoe size?"
"My shoe size is seven"
And we were standing out front of a tattoo shop in Athens, Georgia
And he said "You're not gonna get a tattoo, are you?"
And I said "I'm gonna get a seven"
And then I had to get a seven, there was just no way around it
Where did Scrap get his nickname?
It was just given to him
It was on the F train
It was on the F train
I think it was
No, it was on the Q train
Oh, good lord
And yeah, Pete, our drummer, was like
"You need a nickname, your name is Scrap"
That's how it happened
Just like that
Would you rather nare your entire body in front of
An audience or lick the bottom of your own shoe?
I'm thinking the nare would be a nice kind
Of 80s performance art kind of a thing
And it would freak you out
Instead of this next song, I'm going to disrobe and nare myself
What was your childhood nickname?
It was Grody Dodie
And then briefly in seventh grade it was Dill Dodie
What made you get into music? Please make story interesting
Well, when I was an astronaut and I was orbiting planet X-11
I realized that to communicate with the aliens
I could only do so through the acoustic guitar
So I ordered a Mel Bay Teach Yourself to Play book
Communicated with the aliens and
Brought back pomegranates from Neptune
I hope that's interesting
I just found my favorite question of
The entire question jar experience
Whoa
As King Diamond, please tell me how do I get home from here?
Using the voice of King Diamond?
Scrap, you're the expert, you're the metal expert
Beware of the slippery stairs
Or you may fall
And break your neck
Oh, Egypt
These aren't the ways home but these
Are the King Diamond lyrics I know
Or you may fall
Yeah
Oh, I heard some King Diamond stage patter where he goes
"It was a fucking ghost disguised as the devil's daughter"
He's Danish
He's Danish and he lives in Dallas
He's the Dane from Dallas
I met him in high school
Yeah, I know
And he told you to read the Satanic Bible, right?
Yes, he did
Oh dude, crazy
It was actually pretty boring too
Would you rather walk a mile on broken
Glass or punch a baby in the face?
How strong is the baby?
If I knew the general resilience of
The baby, that would be my criteria
There are very strong babies out there
Could you please not write a song about my
Beautiful girlfriend after tonight's show?
Okay, done
Done
You have my word as a gentleman
Your beautiful girlfriend will never touch my repertoire
It's not dirty, it's repertoire
Touch my repertoire, baby
I'm always gonna refer to that as my repertoire now
Why don't I play this song in tune? How do you feel about that?
Okay
Billy Ray Cyrus has a job and I'm playing songs in tune
The apocalypse is nigh
That's very bad karma
Very, very bad karma
I wish nothing but peace and serenity and
Prosperity upon Billy Ray Cyrus, so help me God
I really don't want to be burning in hell and have someone go
"You know why you're here, right?
Fucking talking shit about Billy Ray Cyrus"
