Lacquer Head

by Primus

on Antipop (1999)

Sometimes bored and sometimes lonely
Pimple-faced and rather homely
He wasn't much for socializing, the TV kept a-mesmerizing
In one ear and out the other
Picked up a trick from his older brother
Got him a can of sniffing sauce, pinned his mind upon a cross

Lacquerhead knows but one desire!
Lacquerhead sets his skull on fire!
Lacquerhead knows no in-betweens,
Huffing on bags of gasoline!

Sniffing paint since the seventh grade
She was high on gin and Gatorade
On turpentine she lost her luck, fell in front of a speeding pickup truck
He was a boy of soft demeanor
And he loved his carburetor cleaner
The vapor made a sweet aroma, he sniffed himself into a coma

Lacquerhead knows but one desire!
Lacquerhead sets his skull on fire!
Lacquerhead knows no in-betweens
Huffing on bags of gasoline!

Keep on sniffing 'til your brain goes pop, keep on sniffing 'til your brain goes pop
Keep on sniffing 'til your brain goes pop, keep on sniffing 'til your brain goes pop
Keep on sniffing 'til your brain goes pop, keep on sniffing 'til your brain goes pop
Keep on sniffing 'til your brain goes pop, keep on sniffing 'til your brain goes pop
Keep on sniffing 'til your brain goes pop, keep on sniffing 'til your brain goes pop
Keep on sniffing 'til your brain goes pop, keep on sniffing 'til your brain goes... BAM!

Lacquerhead knows but one desire!
Lacquerhead sets his skull on fire!
Lacquerhead knows no in-betweens
Huffing on bags of gasoline!
