When I was young (read: in high school), I stopped into a used record/cd store and picked up a random album, thinking I needed to branch out my musical tastes. I just happened to pick up an album with some skeleton on the front. Seemed relatively harmless... What I found was a fast-paced metal experience that changed my life.
This particular track was featured on The Beavis and Butthead Experience, and was later available on a sort of greatist hits compilation album.
And yes, I realize that thar be controversial images in this video. Deal or don't press play.
99 Ways To Die
By Megadeth
If I see the morning hours
Ill have one more yesterday
Take life from tomorrow
Cause Ive burned out my today
If I get up to the top I know
Ill just go back downhill
Gotta terminal future
And its time to write my will
Down another glass of courage
And a shot of thorazine
Were not ready to see you yet
99 ways to die
Were not ready to see you yet
Gotta short between the earphones
Wringing my hands in dismay
A more efficient maniac
With two feet in the grave
Aint got no last words to say
Yellow streak right up my spine
The gun in my mouth was real
And the taste blew my mind
In a black tie and straight jacket
Man Im gonna try again
Chorus repeat
Demitasse of arsenic
Try on this tie
Never mind the tree
There is only death and danger
In the sockets of my eyes
A playground of illusion
No one plays they only die
Theres a prison in my mind
And the bars are gonna break
Im as mad as a hatter
And strung out just the same
Taunting rigor mortis
I feel it draw me in
