	Yes! The very beginning of this song totally reminds me of KISS! I don't understand what the lyrics mean, but it's still awesome. And I like the revised Rob Zombie too. The whole educated Horses CD rocks! By the way, does anyone know what a pillbox head is?

	OMG! Anyone think of KISS when you heard this song? Anyway, it's a Zombie song, so if there's a meaning it's REALLY cryptic. I think it's just to say how badass he is. But I also think it's probably got to do with his car too, with Zombie anything is possible. I love the Educated Horses CD, it's a nice change. This is my favourite track, it's so catchy and fun to dance to!

	Can you see it? If you feel it The scorpion sleeps right in my hand A poison dealer An evil wheeler How can I make you understand? This song is most probably about drug addiction. Heroin addiction in particular. Scorpion meaning a needle, which sits in his hand. And this addiction judged by many, however no one really understands it. Then he injects himself: Yeah alright Said it's alright Yeah alright A blue light shindig well I'm addicted Killing black kettle is what they saw I feel like something in the Congo Dead were the women not the warriors Maybe this addiction is a product of PTSP (post traumatic stress disorder) common with frontline soldiers. - Killing black kettle... Who saw something very disturbung. - Dead were the women... The drugs are giving an uplift but it is burning up days and night and draging him into the black mud. This one as you said is very cryptic and I am certainly wrong. But I gave it a shot! :)
