Flashback .. Fast Forward

Popped Open My Trunk .. Drank A Four Ounce Glass Each

staring wildly at one another

completely speechless .. amazed

we both thanked God for rescuing us

then there were a few brief minutes

we felt like a couple of real badasses

yet we knew deep within our pounding hearts

satanists running scared wasn't because of us

once i'd time to gather my thoughts

a slight panic began to settle in

I sent frenchman to check on alline

sure enough she was safe with J.D.

i'd asked frenchman to tell my brother

he had to drive alline back to winnie

because frenchman and I were leaving

when I knew alline was safe .. we were gone

leaving the auditorium was a weird experience

gene simmons was on an extended catwalk

hovering over the crazy, screaming crowd

sticking his tongue out like a raging devil

spitting out what looked like fake blood

it was a sickening sight to witness

i've a strong stomach yet not my cup of tea

outside of the Summit we could breathe

it was utter chaos .. a zany madhouse inside

I wanted to curse alline for buying the tickets

but I didn't .. being proper, I thanked her

it's true I liked a few of their songs .. just a few

yet I would've never bought tickets to see them

I was more into Boston .. Santana .. Neil Young

at work the next day .. alline threw me the finger

as she drove through the station with crazy eyes

after work I went to old charlie's tavern

God, how I needed a frosted mug of beer

more than one .. quite a few in fact

all the heads had gathered there

to talk about the insane concert

my nerves were frayed .. had to take the edge off

that very weekend i'd cooked some mushrooms

magical, hallucinogenic ones .. oh yeah .. oh yeah

some of the heads and I went to the back of my car

popped open my trunk .. drank a four ounce glass each
