In times of bella foe fa lies cobalt cast and clean.
I gotta motor fare the wheel real fast and fear.
Tri-jacking blackened for moi, handcuffs and special keys. 
Triple lies and neckties divide. This will be his size.
Throw my case of Plasticine down. Maybe after you won't let it. 
Ain't about to pick my rounds. This is in my way.
Plop is fast as my hole's down. Green glass and most of all. 
Been around the somber town, maybe in the wall.

Melvins

The Melvins are an American band that formed in 1983. They usually perform as a trio, but in recent years have performed as a four piece with two drummers. Since 1984, singer and guitarist Buzz Osborne (also known as King Buzzo) and drummer Dale Crover have been the band's ongoing members. The band was named after a supervisor at a Thriftway in Montesano, Washington, where Osborne also worked as a clerk. "Melvin" was despised by other employees, and the band's members felt it to be an appropriately ridiculous name. more »
