lyrics

Collected my bus fare
From the local wishing well
Thievery bought me a ticket
To the depths of hottest hell

Then I cut an old hag
Like a switchblade in the line
I don’t have as much patience
As she thinks she has time

Where I’m a goin’ children
I won’t be comin’ back
I’ll be dragged underground
My limbs lashed to the rack

My skin will be singed
And I’ll feel that whip’s ‘crack’
‘Cause my insides are rotten
Heart is cancerous and black

I wouldn't give up my seat
To a cripple with club feet
Lame lambs shall enter first
When they're cut to fat and meat

Pulled the emergency lever
Where I wanted to get off
I ain’t walkin’ back baby
From the next scheduled stop

Where I’m a goin’ children
I’ll be punished for my sins
Stealin’ and a’drinkin’
Cheatin’ and a’gamble-in’

My lips will be sewn-shut
Head covered with a sack
My credence is malfeasance
Heart is cancerous and black

My destination
Was a ‘house of ill-repute’
Where I pay my welfare money
And women play me like a flute


I lay and lounge
In my birthday suit
The only place I can get laid
Whilst still wearin’ my boots

Where I’m a goin’ children
(a tisket a tasket)
I’m goin’ in style
(hell in a handbasket)

Where I’m a goin’ children
(I won’t be missed)
And I will be pissed
(If it doesn’t exist)


Call me nihilist or athiest
whatever you see fit
I'm profane and inhumane
But baby I don't give a shit

The Jitters Worcester, Massachusetts

Hailing from Worcester MA; stitched together from fragments of sloppy bayou blues, sleazy rockabilly,fuzzed-out garage, and the creeping, half-dead remnants of nightmares; the musical talents of Ryan Hatt and Nik McCarter are tied to a slab and thrust into the heart of an electrical storm to breath again as The Jitters! ... more
