Tom Quigley Poet Pantoum

Pan-Frickin'-Tera Pan-Frickin'-Toum

A Message in Blood on the Cemetery Gates
By Demons Be Driven, Hellbound because they’re near
The Cowboys From Hell, their Domination awaits
I’ll Cast A Shadow, ‘cause It Makes Them Disappear

By Demons Be Driven, Hellbound because they’re near
I’m Shattered, Becoming Immortally Insane
I’ll Cast A Shadow, ‘cause It Makes Them Disappear
The Heresy: 5 Minutes Alone dulls my pain

I’m Shattered, Becoming Immortally Insane
The Medicine Man has a cure for all our Ills
The Heresy: 5 Minutes Alone dulls my pain
Spend some time with Good Friends and a Bottle of Pills

The Medicine Man has a cure for all our Ills
Widowmaker to them, you’re mine Forever Tonight 
Spend some time with Good Friends and a Bottle of Pills
If you Ride My Rocket, you and I’ll Be Allright

Widowmaker to them, you’re mine Forever Tonight 
Revolution Is My Name, Hard Lines, Sunken Cheeks
If you Ride My Rocket, you and I’ll Be Allright
“Goshdarned” Electric, my Death Rattle brings The Sleep

Revolution Is My Name, Hard Lines, Sunken Cheeks
The Cowboys From Hell, their Domination awaits
“Goshdarned” Electric, my Death Rattle brings The Sleep
A Message in Blood on the Cemetery Gates
