lyrics

Preying Mantis

Mean jaw
Fine waist
State of the art seductress
Suddenly, this killing machine turns to you and begs
Smiles and says that she might just

Give you a kiss on the cheek
Make you less of a beast
Make you a lover, man and more
A lot of pleasure
A little death
The price you pay to score

You could avoid this
This praying mantis
Still have the bite marks from before
But in your state of manly conquest
Your head would always leave you
Making love and pinned against the floor

Feed him to the kids!
Preying mantis
Preying mantis

Like angry lovers
Like tempered blades
Preying mantis knows you loathe it
It has a tear for you but that can’t stop a grinding waist
Preying mantis knows you love it

Give it a kiss on the cheek
Call it a beautiful beast
Call it a dangerous thing and more
A lot of pleasure
A little death
The price you pace to score

What’s with the man dance?
Love ceremony?
You know it’s senseless anyway
‘Cause while you’re showing off your feathers
She’ll chew right through your leathers
Rather easily, then the mantis's gonna say…

Feed him to the kids!
Preying mantis
Preying mantis

Oh you’ve lost your easy rider privileges
Call it all in the name of love if want to
But you’re still food for the kids

Preying mantis
Watch out. Here she comes
Preying mantis
Oh, she’s got you now
You can’t resist
Some warrior you are
She’s your preying mantis

Omnibol Vancouver, British Columbia

The voltaic Omnibol: Ascendent during the heady, early 90s PNW music scene, marinating in the music of Sound Garden, Fishbone and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, schooled by giants like Led Zeppelin, and Frank Zappa, Omnibol electrified with at times unabashed, triumphant anthems to awesomeness and others, ironic testaments poking fun at their own debauchery...but always bristling with raw energy. ... more
