Lyrics

Green hellfire at the 7-11
Hot on the heels of the October Surprise
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Was it just a transformer or an omen in disguise?

Emerald explosion, the smell of the ozone
And something else rancid and sick
They let the genie out of the bottle
And man was that genie a dick
I look to my father, he's frozen in place
I see several decades of dread drain his face
Something wicked is coming, we both start off running
And feel the adrenaline kick

Green hellfire at the 7-11
Hot on the heels of the October Surprise
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Was it just a transformer or an omen in disguise?

Right on El Paso, he leans on the gas
Over hills with their spiderweb lawns
Our ears are still ringing, like someone is singing
A precognitive protest song
Accidents happen, transformers explode
The vibes are a-changing and so is the road
The next time the green hellfire sweeps through these streets
It just might take this whole world along

Green hellfire at the 7-11
Hot on the heels of the October Surprise
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Was it just a transformer or an omen in disguise?

Green hellfire!
Green hellfire!

It's been half a decade of dreams that were waylaid
Five years of liminal days
So goes the nation while my hibernation
Is archery, words and crochet
A witch's familiar sits right by my side
And I still remember that green hellfire ride
I wish we'd been wrong 'bout the truth of that song
And these sour times would soon pass away

Green hellfire at the 7-11
Hot on the heels of the October Surprise
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Was it just a transformer or an omen in disguise?
Green hellfire!
Green hellfire!
Green hellfire at the 7-11
Green hellfire, all the way down
