The Best Ever Death Metal Band In Denton Lyrics by Laura Jane Grace

I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats: All Hail West Texas

2017

[Verse 1]
The best ever death metal band out of Denton
Were a couple of guys who'd been friends since grade school
One was named Cyrus, and the other was Jeff
And they practiced twice a week in Jeff's bedroom
The best ever death metal band out of Denton
Never settled on a name
But the top three contenders, after weeks of debate
Were "Satan's Fingers," and "The Killers," and "The Hospital Bombers"
[Verse 2]
Jeff and Cyrus believed in their hearts they were headed
For stage lights and Lear jets, and fortune and fame
So in script that made prominent use of a pentagram
They stenciled their drumheads and guitars with their names
This was how Cyrus got sent to the school
Where they told him he'd never be famous
And this was why Jeff in the letters he'd write to his friend
Helped develop a plan to get even
[Bridge]
When you punish a person for dreaming their dream
Don't expect them to thank or forgive you
[Outro]
The best ever death metal band out of Denton
Will in time both outpace and outlive you
Hail Satan!
Hail Satan tonight!
Hail Satan!
Hail hail!
