Joey boy is a clock who don’t need a body
Received in this world without love and despite
Dad is dead at war - Mom is a blind wall
Joey is alone and no one heard him call. Hey !
Joey was a little child of nine
Didn’t feel his body - didn’t feel outside
He stood like a machine ’cause he didn’t find his mind
Mother didn’t care & Joey didn’t cry
Hey ! Frusration
I say Hey ! Frustration
When Joey walks by, he hums like an engine
Smashing Skull is lusy with Tall people and means
That Small people they get the electric grace
While driving belts and lights move around their faces. Hey !
The story of Joey - C’est l’histoire de Joey
Hey ! Frustration
I say Hey ! Frustration
The machines are his own friends & they begin to bleed
In the exploding darkness he needs a carburator to breathe
He gets a real kick out the electric fans
Then The Cutting Current Color takes him by the hands
Joey was a little child of nine
Didn’t feel his body - didn’t feel outside
He stood like a machine ’cause he didn’t find his mind
Mother didn’t care & Joey didn’t cry
Hey ! Frusration
I say Hey ! Frustration
Joey says hello to the Lampboy of this mecanic world
Hello Konrad you’ve got the Power, you’re the Connect-I-Cut
You know that Chickenpox is pregnant with an electric foetus
I know you’ll build a new machine, you will take care of us
Hey ! Frustration
don’t need a body.
