+ | ====== Human Sacrifice ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Written in 1979. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The song was the first use of a [[vibrator|vibrating dildo]] use on the guitar to create an low-tech "e-bow" sound. | ||

+ | ===== Lyrics ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Too light, too dark, confusing | ||
+ | Can't seem to get organized | ||
+ | Tracing footsteps through the jungle | ||
+ | Don't care much for surprise | ||
+ | My heart beats like a drum now | ||
+ | Up-tempo rhythm for my feet | ||
+ | Air ripples signify the climate | ||
+ | The noise cuts through the heat | ||
+ | |||
+ | Honor all the rituals | ||
+ | Make sacrifice supreme | ||
+ | Hang a lucky charm outside your door | ||
+ | They're changing all the patterns | ||
+ | That my soul they might redeem | ||
+ | Still I don't feel that much secure | ||
+ | |||
+ | New dolls replace the old ones | ||
+ | Some pins, needle to the vein | ||
+ | Promote zombie non-action | ||
+ | Incentive wrapped in cellophane | ||
+ | There's no pillow on the alter | ||
+ | No dream: just go to sleep | ||
+ | Perched on the edge of decision | ||
+ | Hold hands, close eyes, and leap | ||
+ | |||
+ | Honor all the rituals | ||
+ | Make sacrifice supreme | ||
+ | Hang a lucky charm outside your door | ||
+ | They're changing all the patterns | ||
+ | That my soul they might redeem | ||
+ | Still I don't feel that much secure | ||
