Song Description

One of Prozac Rat's shorter epic songs, "Hoke" spent a few years as a demo, but was eventually laid down to disc in the fall of 2004. The tune wound up being significantly longer than originally intended, but the group is satisfied with the results.

Lyrics

Pick up the phone. Answer the door.
Run up the stairs. Fall on the floor.
I'm in your house; the cat and you're the mouse.
Took care of your spouse. Now the rest of the town.
No more light of day. The moon won't go away.
It tells me what to say. Hoke's got dues to pay.
I'll be around. I'll be around.
If you want me, if you need me, you know I will be here.
You'll probably see me on the TV, in a couple more years.
When you're crazy, everyone's lazy, cause the sun will not rise.
Seconds are slower. I'll cut off your shoulder.
All right. Hoke puts up a fight.
Any survivors who aren't on fire will be sewn back up tight.
Do what I tell them. Or maybe I'll sell them.
And then I'll be rich tonight.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh aah aah aah aah.
Start to get tired. Sweat like a liar.
And you can't see through your tears.
Only fire, as it grows higher.
Putting all your faith in me.
Long, long ago. A visit from below.
Do as you're told. Harvest all the souls.
I burn down city hall. Next stop is the mall.
On their knees they fall. I will kill them all.
Blaze melt away. Light up the sky.
Scream out my name. No one will remain.
Pull up the seas. Tide sweeps ash away.
Take more than I needs.
Hoke's got dues to pay.
