Lyrics

New Face in Hell

[Verse 1]

Wireless enthusiast intercepts

Government secret radio band

And uncovers secrets and scandals

Of deceitful type proportions

[Verse 2]

Aghast goes next door to his neighbor

Secretly excited, as aforementioned

Was a hunter whom radio enthusiast

Wanted friendship and favor of

[Chorus]

A new face in hell!

Nearly a new face in hell!

[Verse 3]

A muscular, thick-skinned

Slit-eyed neighbor is at the table

Poisoned just thirty seconds before

By parties who knew of wireless operator's

Forthcoming revelation

[Chorus]

A new face in hell!

[Verse 4]

A prickly line of sweat

Covers enthusiast's forehead

As the realization hits him that

The same government him and

His now dead neighbor voted for

And backed and talked of on cream porches

Have tricked him into their war

Against the people who enthusiast

And dead hunter would have wished torture on

A servant of government walks in

And arrests wireless fan in kitchen

For murder of his neighbor

[Chorus]

A new face in hell!

A new face in hell!

A new face in hell!

A new face in hell!

A new face in hell!

A new face in hell!

A new face in hell!

A new face in hell!

The dead cannot contradict

Sometimes the living cannot

A new face in hell!

A new face in hell!

A new face in hell!

A new face in hell!
