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

- Other than Elsewhere and Sick Puppy, this song contains the longest instrumental segment of any song released on a Lemon Demon album.
