Dthere was a boy who had Ctoo many toys
and an Gache inside of his Dbones
he Dsought extrication through Cchemical vocation
and Gnow he just answers to Dtones
it's Cdeadly Gand alDluring
the Fsound of Cpounding Gheat
ensFlaving Call who Gdare to sucDcumb to
              A#                  CRiff
the temptations of the forbidden beat
thinking, today, of what I want to say
thinking of inhibition and vice
what the call straight I do relegate
as I cautiously saltate along
it's deadly and alluring
the sound of pounding heat
enslaving all who dare to succumb to
the temptations of the forbidden beat
it thunders away at first light of each day
and the simpleton lifestyle evolves
but soon enters dusk as the last surrey rusts
and a new day, upon us, results
