Riley walks the streets while everyone's asleep
Always on his feet cause trouble follows where he leads
I heard him speaking tongues down of wounded knee
well you may have caught Ramirez but you'll never catch me
( You may call him miracle mangler
lookout here he comes with his barbwire strangler
he's unstable, living fable
un-dead behind the wheel juggling a mass of steel through the night)
Insane till the end but I still call that kid my friend
he woke up to the bottle the breakfast of the dead
I asked him what he's drinking and this is what he said
my friend this is ammunition for the war that's in my head
( You may call him miracle mangler
lookout here he comes with his barbwire strangler
he's unstable, living fable
un-dead behind the wheel juggling a mass of steel through the night)
Nocturnal rabid animal with movements so mechanical
he's chopping at the bit like his hero Hannibal
intentional wounds explain the rules
point two fingers to your temple now you're running with the devil
