When I was a kid I read the Satanic Bible
I was bored, got it at the mall in Ohio
When I was older I moved out to the Bay
And at a music store, hey, I met Anton Lavey
He was dapper and he had two strippers with him
He played organ with expertise and precision
I got invited to his house in '97
With my friend Becky there was some kind of get-together
I didn't go 'cause I had somethin' or other
Then he died that year in late October
And if I'm ever near the corner he lived on
I always think about the day I met Anton
His old Victorian was black as bondo
They tore it down now a shiny new condo
When I was a kid I saw the movie Papillon
With my father it left an impression on
Me, the headhunters and the leper colony
Devil's island and the Dustin Hoffman bowl scene
I watched the movie a hundred fifty times
I can recite every one of the script lines
To this day the last scene brings me to tears
When Steve McQueen says "Hey you bastards I'm still here!"
We watched a lot of TV, kung-fu and baretta
Robert Blake wore a cockatoo on his shoulder
And you couldn't help but to love David Carradine
Kickin' the white man's ass in every scene
Well I can't help but to think of my father and me
When I see old movies with Steve McQueen
Well I can't help but to think of my father and me
When I hear the name David Carradine
When I was a kid I went to the cue-n-cushion
There were pool tables and deadbeats drug pushin'
I'd buy joints in the bathroom for a dollar
Smoke 'em down along the Tuscarawus River
I'd sit alone and I'd feel inspired
I wanted out of the home of the Masillon Tigers
At night I watched Johnny Carson televise in L.A.
I knew I'd live on the west coast one day
And when I'm back home I remember the old days
When I walk along Lincoln way
And when I'm back home I remember the old days
When I walk along Lincoln way
