If I cut off your arms and cut off your legs
Would you still love me anyway?
If you're bound and you're gagged, draped and displayed
Would you still love me anyway?
Why don't you love me anyway?

Cutting with the knife, blood is spilling everywhere
She will be my wife
Secondary spine
Incisions must be accurate
I know just what to do
My hands are trembling
I can't spare to slip up with this knife

Her beauty so illogical
The beast come gliding in
Hideous chameleon stripped down to her skin
Dance to the burning flame
Pleasure exhumes the pain
The night bursts into flame
Dance Helena... Dance

If I cut off your arms and cut off your legs
Would you still love me anyway?
There's a spot on the floor where your limbs used to be
And I close the door on my fantasies
Why don't you love me anyway

    My Interpretation:well from my paranoic punk perspective i think that this dude represents everything that is wrong with the world like a political leader that lies in the face of people and he still expects for someone to believe him looking straight at the eyes when he says something, the beauty are his words promising a new world, things are gonna change but all he wants is the media attention and fuck you in the other side, when he close the door of his fantasies is because his reign of chaos is over already and he still wonders why dont you love him anyway if you're being fucked again anyway.
    Also when he says gagged, draped and displayed well you get the idea is like you want to do something but there's law and is all fixed to have you in a nice position, the incisions are accurate and he knows exactly what to do.

    Song Meaning:we can all agree the old misfits are better. But i think there is about 10 songs the new misfits did that are awesome and i think this is one of them. I'll keep this short. This is a love song to feed your psychotic side

    General Comment:Ok, every song on here has the same argument, Danzig or Graves. I think Danzig was better but Graves is good too. Just different. And i just saw them 4 days ago at The Whiskey with Jerry singing and it was a sick show. The only thing that has changed is the voice. They are still good songs. I'm tired of people hating the new misfits for no reason other than that it isn't Glenn singing. If he is the only reason you listened to them then are you really that big of a misfits fan? Line-ups change, people leave, deal with it. Don't hate the rest of the band for continuing to play. And since Danzig was only with the band for the first 6 years. They had 6 years with him and 26 years without him. The Newfits are more of a band than the original line-up. You don't say Iron Maiden isn't really Iron Maiden because Paul Di'Anno left. And Jerry shouldn't have made Graves try and be Danzig but can you blame him? They had a great thing going and he didn't wanna lose it. So calm down everyone. They are still the Misfits, they still kick ass.

    General Comment:I love how everyone has problems with the "Newfits" but their songs are getting more attention than the actual Misfits songs.

    I think everyone just likes to fight.
    Ha ha.

    General Comment:To MissNeurotic...well...you see, this is just a song..liking the way it sounds , liking the band it's absolutely not liking amputation....for god sake amputation is something that it's just very very bad...and if it is perpetrated by someone it is an absolutely gruesome act of course. But this is just a song a Misfits song about a movie that wasn't even a horror movie...and Misfits just sing bout horror movies, old movies and freakish situation..it just music..nothing else! You missed the point.
