Going Out to Get You (Demo 1969) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can pacify your violence
I can guarantee no pain
Feel the ugly force of motion
Deep inside your guilty brain

[Chorus]
Going out to get you
Going out to get you
Going out to get you
Pulpit of the Python
Chasing out the innocents defiled

[Post-Chorus]
Leave your weapon in the cool stream
Rest your body on the stone
Multitude will beckon to a clear sky
Rise again to follow all who came
Are you really evil?

[Verse 2]
I saw you in the Devil’s Kitchen
Cooking for the Queen of Spades
Hiding in your pretty laces
Licking fingers sunk in jam
[Chorus]
Going out to get you
Going out to get you
Going out to get you
Pulpit of the Python
Chasing out the innocents defiled

[Post-Chorus]
Curl your flimsy leaves around me
Sorceress you cannot still command
Burning in the orifice of Hades
Sacrifice your magic to my hand
Are you really evil?

[Verse 3]
I saw you in the Hermit's garden
Picking fruit to fill his flesh
Tacking spells to take his body
Trapping him inside your mesh

[Chorus]
Going out to get you
Going out to get you
Going out to get you
Pulpit of the Python
Chasing out the innocents defiled
[Instrumental Outro]
