   Lyrics (sung when numbers correspond to order of play)
   ------------------------------------------------------
1)
2)
3)
4)  The man in the front got a sinister grin, careen down highway 666
5)  We wanna go, crush the slow, as the pitchfork bends the needles grow
6)  My arms are wheels, my legs are wheels, my blood is pavement
7)  We're gonna ride to the abbey of Thelema to the abbey of Thelema
    BLOOD IS PAVEMENT
8)
9)  The grill in the front is my sinister grin, bugs in my teeth make me sick, sick, sick
10) The objects may, be larger than, they appear in the mirror
11) My arms are wheels, my legs are wheels, my blood is pavement
12) We're gonna ride to the abbey of Thelema to the abbey of Thelema
    BLOOD IS PAVEMEEEEEEENT
13)
14) When you ride you're ridden, when you ride you're ridden.

15) Beep beep.
    Beep beep.
    His horn went beep beep beep.
16)
17) I am fuelled by filth and fury
    Do what I will, I will hurry there, there
18)    
19) My arms are wheels, my legs are wheels, my blood is pavement
    My arms are wheels, my legs are wheels, my blood is pavement
20)
21) My arms are wheels, my legs are wheels, my blood is pavement
    My arms are wheels, my legs are wheels, my blood is pavement
    Pavement pavement yeah! Yeah! Yeah!!!

Now that was a complicated tab. All it needs is the solo (for Part 18).

A fantastic song, Misery Machine, one of the best from Portrait Of An American Family (buy that album, if you haven't already). And in the interests of all involved, the bridge is taken from a song called Beep Beep by The Playmates. Very spooky when slowed down.
