Flip The Switch

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

A scrap of flesh

And a heap of bones

One deep high

And a desperate moan

Three black eyes

And a busted nose

I said oh yeah, oh yeah

Take me up

Baby I'm ready to go

Shake me up

Baby I'm ready to go, yeah

Take me up

Baby I'm ready

Baby, baby I'm ready to go

(Chill me, freeze me, It's in my blood)

I'm not going to burn in hell

I cased the joint

And I know it well

Maybe my carcass

Would feed the worms

But I'm working

For the other firm

Take me up

Baby I'm ready to go

Fix me up

Baby I'm ready to roll, yeah

Set me up

Baby, baby, baby I'm ready to go

(Chill me, freeze me, It's in my blood)

Flip the switch

I got my money, my ticke

All that shit

I even got myself

A little shaving kit

What would it take

To bury me

I can't wait

I can't wait to see

I got toothbrush, mouthwash

All that shit

I'm looking down

In the filthy pit

I had the turkey

And the stuffing too

I even saved

A little bit for you

Lethal injection is a luxury

I wanna give it

To the whole jury

I'm just dying

For one more squeeze

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Pick me up

Baby I'm ready to go

Take me up

Baby I'm ready to blow

Take me up

Baby if you're ready to go

Baby I got nowhere to go

Baby I'm ready to go

(Chill me, freeze me, to my bones)
