The Crazy World of Arthur Brown - Junkyard King Lyrics
(Verse) I got body parts for some dream machine And the shadow lands where the towers lean I got silver sin in my oil black heart I got wasted time, I've got no head start Cuz I'm a junkyard king building up your heap From rejected treasure that you got cheap Well, tell me baby about your gold pain For ejected love, that acted through the rain(?)
(Chorus) Well, come up and see my plasma torch Break you down to your skin and bone Lift up your heart to this saggy pile Wrap you up and send you home
(Interlude) Send you home! Uh, don't urinate in my microwave Do it ova there
(Verse 2) The world ring is black in my part of town There's a one way track that I'm travelling down I'm gonna fill my heart with a silver load I'm a work of art, I'm a wasteland toad I was a clean boy too, with a smart disguise But I always knew that my truth would rise So I held my breath and I dug alone To this underworld, to this broken show
(Chorus) Come up and see my plasma torch Break you down to your skin and bone Lift up your heart to this saggy pile Wrap you up and send you... I'll send you home!
(Bridge) This desolation Rolls and rolls of wrecks Engine parts-clamation I pay my respects With bits of television Mocken household trash In the dirt and drivel Where I keep my cash
(Verse 3) When I was cold, my heart was numb I was sold and old when I was young No house and children for someone like me My soul is empty, oh, the city heat
(Chorus x2) Come up and see my plasma torch Break you down to your skin and bone Lift up your heart to this saggy pile Wrap you up and send you home
(Bridge) This ain't no life for someone like me I've always dreamed, mad mystique When I was young and taken away from The rightful home Yeah, wait till I make the royal family Yeah, I'm gonna bring em down to my heap Baby, then you're gonna want me Yeah, then you're gonna want my children I'm a slag hit man, but I do the best I can Yeah, I got respect, well, you'll neva know what'd come next
