The Mountain Goats Best Ever Death Metal Band Lyrics

the best ever death metal band out of denton
were a couple of guys
who'd been friends since grade school
one was named sirus
the other was jeff
and they practiced twice a week in jeff's bedroom
the best ever death metal band out of denton
never settled on a name
but the top three contenders
after weeks of debate
were satan's fingers and the killers and the hospital b__s
jeff and sirus believed in their hearts
they were headed for stage lights and lear jets
and fortune and fame
so in script that made prominent use of a pentagram
they stenciled their drumheads and guitars with their names
this is how sirus got sent to the school
where they told him he'd be famous
and this was why jeff
in the letters he'd write to his friend
helped develop a plan to get even
when you punish a person for dreaming his dream
don't expect him to thank or forgive you
the best ever death metal band out of denton
will in time both outpace and outlive you
hail satan
hail satan
tonight
hail satan
hail, hail
