Lyrics

You may be friendly looking on the outside
But I know why you only wear long sleeves
And I know why you shake with the wrong hand
Don't try to hide it, ‘cause I do believe that

You're out to get me, gonna scratch out my eyes
With that atomic copper claw, ooh, what a surprise!

I saw it gleaming underneath the fabric
I saw you reaching under, tightening a screw
You try to keep it out of sight in the shadows
Sneaking me that evil little glance that you do, oh

You're out to get me, gonna scratch out my eyes
With that atomic copper claw, ooh, what a surprise!

Are you the grisly result of some unauthorized genetics lab experiment gone wrong? (Gone wrong.)
Was there an accident, resulting in the radioactive instrument for which I wrote this song?
I know you're planning on assassinating me with just a couple well placed slashes to the head
But nonetheless I figure, why not ask some questions now?
I won't be asking many when I'm dead!

You may be friendly looking on the outside
But I know why you only wear long sleeves
And I know why you shake with the wrong hand
Don't try to hide it, ‘cause I do believe that…

You're out to get me, gonna scratch out my eyes
With that atomic copper claw, ooh, what a surprise!
Go ahead, take a shred, kill me dead
With that atomic copper claw!, yeah, that's what I said

Okay!

Atomic copper claw
Atomic copper claw
Atomic copper claw
You still deny it's even there
All you return me is a stare
If you're so sure of yourself, why don't you show me your hand?
I know your secret and there's no point lying, don't you understand?
Yes, I am well aware. I know it's there
Atomic copper claw!
Atomic copper claw!
Atomic copper claw!

Hey, hey!
Whee!
Yeah, you're out to get me, gonna scratch out my eyes
With that atomic copper claw, that atomic copper claw

Trivia

• There was an earlier version of this song released, in which the song fades in. It also seems to be a little louder in the “mellow into explosion” part. The earlier version, can be found here.
• Other than Elsewhere and Sick Puppy, this song contains the longest instrumental segment of any song released on a Lemon Demon album.
