I am an ex offender
They let me out in the summer
I think I was in a coma
I didn't know what to do
Oh no

You go hang around go round
I'll watch myself hang on
Look out for the Bugman
You go hang around around
I'll watch myself hang on
Look out for the Bugman

I got no sent of existence
I know the nodding dogs
I go out in the city
I stay away from the bugs
Oh yeah

You go hang around around
I watch myself hang on
Look out for the Bugman
You go hang around around
I watch myself hang on
Look out for the Bugman

The bu uh uh ug man

I go out in the city
I stay away from the bugs
Oh yeah
na na na na na oh oh...

I go out in the city

    General Comment:This song is about a drug dealer. Think about it. "Bugman" bug rhymes with drug so Bugman is really
    the Drugman an ex offender. Drug offender! He talks about the city being dangerous. So he's afraid of the police. I still love this song!!!! It's heavy metal!

    General Comment:Someone mentioned about 'Trimm Trabb' dealing with STDs or HIV and when I think about it here, it sounds like 'bugman' is about a 'bug chaser' in the city. And the character is trying to stay away from the 'bugs' (the people carrying something you don't want.)

    General Comment:Yeah this song does rock, it goes a bit crazy at the end though. If what that other guy said is true then this song scares me.

    General Comment:I think its about a guy being released from prison (i am the ex offender) and going c-razy. I can see the thing about xpankfrisst saying.
    Reminds me of renfield from dracula though.
