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 of quick 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 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!
- Yeah!
- You’re out to get me, gonna scratch out my eyes
- With that atomic copper claw!
- That atomic copper claw.
