In My Backyard lyrics - Dead Celebrity Status

I'm like a Bat Out of Hell, being pulled by Black Stallions.
Waiting for Metallica to make another Black Album.
Queens Of The Stone Age, cage I'm fenced in
Watching doves cry in this purple rain that I'm drenched in.
I'm having a green day, when I clash with the sounds.
Now I'm a basketcase, until you come around.
This world's like a vortex trying to suck me in,
I'm lucky to play the role of a drowning Jeff Buckley.
I'm an OutKast in the state of Atliens,
Now throw your hands in the air and do the Humpty dance.
Jane's Addiction got me seeing deep purple.
Need to find the perfect tool to make A Perfect Circle.
Riding a white pony? That explains my Deftones.
I'm Illmatic like a storm on this microphone.
Walking across Abbey Road with Ringo Starr.
But Yoko Ono was dead, so we had to split apart!

There's a million zombies in my backyard, backyard.
And they all wanna be rapstars, rapstars.
They need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up.
You need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up.
There's a million zombies in my backyard, backyard.
And they all wanna be rockstars, rockstars.
They need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up.
But you need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up.

I'm a Stone Temple Pilot, riding this Crazy Train.
I need a Black Sabbath to break Alice from her chains.
Rode into Iowa with a Slip and a Knot,
'cause I got a Liscence to Ill, so what you, what you want?
On a Black Sunday, I walked up Cypress Hill,
until I crashed into a dashboard and walked into a confessional.
I'm just an Audioslave on the run,
in a Sound Garden waiting for this Blackhole Sun to come.
My crew is my feelings, sprayed Led like Zeppelin.
Trying to find my way up the Stairway To Heaven.
I'll trick you with this massive attack of Back In Black.
Raging Against the Machine just like Zack.
I used to have the common sense to walk or die.
Used to hold Guns And Roses, now I hold Velvet Revolvers.
Met this girl named Charlotte, she looked Good in my bed,
'til my Bizket went Limp 'cause she wouldn't give me Portishead.

There's a million zombies in my backyard, backyard.
And they all wanna be rapstars, rapstars.
They need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up.
You need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up.
There's a million zombies in my backyard, backyard.
And they all wanna be rockstars, rockstars.
They need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up.
But you need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up.

I found a Message in a Bottle so I called the Police.
I met a Material Girl who said Poppa Don't Preach.
They say love bites like an angry Def Leppard,
like a Nine Inch Nail being pushed in by Trent Rezner.
I got a Sex Pistol and a Gang of Bloodhounds,
who walked up to a House of Pain and made Lethal Jump Around.
I ate Chop Suey while watching System of a Down,
fell asleep in Linkin's Park and woke up in Marcy's Playground.
Sniffing White Stripes with a Seven Nation Army,
waiting for Marilyn Manson to egg it on me.
Public Police got me lost in mix tapes.
Oops, I did it again, and I made Britney Spears my slave.
I made it to Brooklyn and I still can't sleep.
I got a Radiohead, now they call me a creep.
I parachute on a cold day, when I Coldplay the streets.
I'm dieing to be famous, like both of J-Lo's ass cheeks.

There's a million zombies in my backyard, backyard.
And they all wanna be rapstars, rapstars.
They need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up.
You need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up.
There's a million zombies in my backyard, backyard.
And they all wanna be rockstars, rockstars.
They need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up.
But you need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up.
You need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up.
You need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up.
But you need to wake, wake up, wake up, wake up.

Blood Music lyrics - Dead Celebrity Status

Listen
My pen bleeds words all over empty pages.
It's blood music, lick your thumbs and skim through it.
I'd bleed a thousand times if I had to.
Scratch and claw my way to the top.
It's like every verse is worth a penny for my thought,
and I haven't been paid yet, guess I'll just stay in debt.
Baby, step my way through this bullshit business.
I'll kick and scream until this world listens.
That's why I write till my hand hurts.
Make music for the love of it, but always put my fans first.
Spill my guts, every time I write shit,
so you can lick my two nuts if you don't like.
Some people hate it, some anticipate it.
Some think it's so-so, others think it's over-rated.
But Dead Celeb is something I hold sacred.
Waiting for the day I can say I finally made it.

So many try for this, some live some die for this.
so many with nothing the same, somebody please take me away.
So many try for this, some live some die for this.
so many with nothing the same, somebody please take me away.

My pen drips blood until the page is red.
That's why I fill up on my thoughts until my brain is fed.
And all I need is to get get get 'em out.
So many thoughts, I need to spit spit spit 'em out.
'Cuz music is blood, something I can't live without.
'Cuz it's raised me, it's changed me, it's made me.
Until my last breath is wrung from my lungs,
I climb my way to the top until my dieing day comes.
And if it comes sooner than expected,
I'll make a graceful exit and leave my last words on my own record.
And I been told life's full of obstacles,
but I've encountered roadblocks that just seem impossible.
And I'm 'a kick down this door if they don't let me in.
Music is my medicine, these fans are my adrenaline.
My feet are dirty from all the shit I keep stepping in.
Music is blood, blood is oxygen, breathe it in.

So many try for this, some live some die for this.
so many with nothing to say, somebody please take me away.
So many try for this, some live some die for this.
so many with nothing to say, somebody please take me away.

When you can feel it in your skin, it's blood music.
When you just can't hold it in, it's blood music.
When you just gotta let it out, it's blood music.
When you wanna show the world what you're about, it's blood music.
That's why I use it for therapeutic reasons.
Is it me talking or is the music bleeding?
It helps put me to sleep when I need it to.
You might not believe in it, but it believes in you.
When you can feel it in your gut, it's blood music.
You feel like you've finally had enough, it's blood music.
When you would rather die than give up, it's blood music.
When you do it, and do it for the love, it's blood music.
Music is my blood, lyrics are my skeleton.
My music is a drug 'cuz I feed the beat heroine.
It's just the vibe that I'm on.
Shoot up a lyric filled syringe and overdose to my own song.

So many try for this, some live some die for this.
so many with nothing to say, somebody please take me away.
So many try for this, some live some die for this.
so many with nothing to say, somebody please take me away.

[Scratching]
