    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Loco-Motive Man

    by: W.A.S.P.

    I WRITE TO claim a lost identity, of me
    Ooh - I leave a message for you all
    Written here the fear that are my
    Destiny you see
    Come behold madness you never saw
    No love for killer babies
    My blood is written on your walls
    Oh it's time I leave ya now
    My locomotive rages
    Oh no you never heard me call
    Oh I know you'll hear me now
    I feel the rage that brings
    The fame of that I need
    I've now a face forever more
    Living with the fears
    That hear those fantasies in me
    Come an see sadness you never saw
    No love for killer babies
    My pain is written on your walls
    Oh it's time I leave you now
    Mama look what you made me
    Your locomotive killer calls
    Oh I know you hear me now
    Don't wait for me
    Don't hate for me
    Don't ask of what went wrong
    Don't pray for me or wonder why
    You've known this all along
    I've sinned for you
    I envy you
    Your pain I'll know
    I wanted love, you gave me none
    I've come to take you home
    Cause I've gone to meet my maker
    I'm locomotive man
    One killer baby's come to call
    Cause I've gone to meet my maker
    I am you Loco Man
    I'm coming down to take you all
    Oh God I'm coming
    Read my words I'm coming
    I got a gun I'm coming
    You won't hear me coming
