I kissed my Victim I laid her in the ground It was dark and very cold Like Stone..... I kissed my Victim I laid her down...down in the ground She was cold, blood on her neck She is dead I kissed my Victim...I laid her down So cold, all alone, everything I've ever known (Yea it was dark, down that street, saw her coming, a pretty girl the kind I like to meet...I was breathing now really hard The blood rising now..that girl..she was meant for me I took her there, running fast, I threw her down, down in the ground I made her grave and held her down, but I....) I Kissed My Victim I kissed her everywhere and drew the blood I Kissed My Victim Now she is dead..cold cold feet up to her head I Kissed My Victim...I really did.
2.	Angel of Death and Dying 02:50	lyrics	buy track
On the city streets I'm always afraid It's so dark, I fall in my grave All the girls, they can't go anywhere Alone! It seems that things are falling apart Nobody needs to be afraid after dark if I could talk to you Angel Of Death And Dying Don't be afraid..you can survive The city streets are really Alive! There are people out there who want to Kill They want your Blood and Money All the while they call you Honey Angel of Death and Dying I'm so afraid now...all alone I can't use my telephone All the people and places are going down Now there's a darkness over this land No one can understand..but...the.... Angel of Death and Dying (I would go get some food...but why is death all around?)
3.	Hot Spell on The Cold Waves 04:33	lyrics	buy track
Jessie was a boy who loved his cars and his hot hot wheels Cruising down the Idaho blacktop ...ninety miles an hour But its a Hot Hot Spell on the Cold Cold Waves of the Radio Jessie went way too fast and broke the sound barrier Looking for Annabel down by the local store It was a Hot Hot Spell on the Cold Cold Waves of the Radio He parked his car...no one around...and parked Too.. He ran to her..with love in his eyes for her... But it was a Hot Hot Spell on the Cold Cold Waves of the Radio Cause..across that street was a speeding car...burning steel And Jessie couldn't see...who was behind that wheel That car hit Jessie..run him into the ground Annabel ran out and also fell to the ground Jessie died in the arms of the one he loved Its a Hot Hot Spell on the Cold Cold Waves of the Radio All of the reporters..they walked to the scene Jessie was there...now only cream His love by his side...laying there Just like another meat with nothing to care Its hard now when the papers come out and just write those things That have nothing to do ..with ...love Cause...Its a Hot Hot Spell on the Cold Cold Waves of the Radio They just keep exploiting you with those stories of blood and guts Just like what they did with Jessie..no one cares at all.

about

The third time might also be the best time. Hit Machine was once again in the Orinda, Ca. living room, the suburban house just 15min. from the big cities of San Francisco and Berkeley. We stood in the bare room, using the natural reverb of the Ranch Style houses's wood panel ceiling. Someone started talking about the intensity of our band..that our themes were sex, death, and the darkness of the world. We wanted to go back to a jungle life that we never had in this life. Who was Hit Machine 1980? They were us. We were the evolution and the bridge between the jungle and the city.
