What? Lyrics

Alright

I'm breathing to the dead
With a billy club in my hand
Jack the Ripper said
What
She married a monster
On the very last day
She turned around and said
What
I was a teenage
A something or other
With a church fireman
What

Vampire lovers in palm bikinis said
On and on and on and on
Cannibal man and the jungle girls say
On and on and on and on

Let's go

A black cobweb
A Fu Manchu
They do not know what to do
What
I got a motel
With the red eyes and
I can hear you screaming
What
A pale hermaphrodite
Losing his sense sometimes
My God does not understand

Vampire lovers in palm bikinis said
On and on and on and on
Cannibal man and the jungle girls say
On and on and on and on

A midnight owl brings
Permanent scabs
I missed ol' rock and roll

Fate and chili dogs
Knives and pom poms
Knives and pom poms

Rave on with me
Rave on with me
Rave on with me

Vampire lovers in palm bikinis said
On and on and on and on
Cannibal man and the jungle girls say
On and on and on and on

Rave on with
Rave on with
Rave on with

On and on

Rave on with
Rave on with
Rave on with

On and on

Cover art for What? lyrics by Rob Zombie

My Favorite song on the new album. The Album I think is better than Horses....but both pale compare to Sinister Urge and first Hellbilly Deluxe

First one! I feel like this song is about how corrupt the world has gotten and all people can say for themselves is, "What?" as if to say that things are not so bad when they really are. Especially when Zombie says, "I miss ol' rock n roll", it's like he has saying things have changed and the ethics and morals people believed in are gone and broken, but "rave on rave on rave on" shows that he is still around doing what zombie loves to do, rave, party, and do the music he likes to do without changing to fit any status quo bullshit.

it kinda sounds to me like he's saying " fate and cheerleaders, bouncing pom-poms, bouncing pom-poms"

but I could be wrong.

But what about the meaning? Cantide8405, don't you have any input on the meaning or symbolism of or within the song or not?

I've . . . kinda given up on finding the meaning in anything out of Rob Zombie. not that I don't think it's there, mind, more that I think he is a true artist, and the meanings are multi-layered and deeply buried. the good thing about that is that many people can hear it, and come away with different meanings, and get part of the picture, or you can just rock out to it and not worry about the meanings.

the bad part is when asked to comment on the meaning, as a Libra, I'm inclined to give a long-winded explanation that's basically...

Yeah man that's what i do, I just rock out with my cock out.. I pay no mind. I mean, it's metal.. I'm definitely not expecting much, but I do like heavy diabolical sounds. Zombie's got this weird horror fetish, and while I would never act upon his music as a listener, I do appreciate his wild theatrics.. he's definitely what I'd consider an artist, even if his content is mostly chock full of blatant horsepucky.

Ok seriously? No one is posting about any of the new songs? The Cd came out like a few days ago and still the last person to post was yet again, me! These songs are great! And some of the music isn't even on here yet.

I just finished posting all the lyrics buddy, as I saw no one else was.
