AFI - Trash Bat Lyrics






Pulp in the slick
And you're all I take to bed to read with me
Pulp in the slick
And you're all I take to bed with me to

Once more with a smile
Broken teeth and bloody eyes
In my mean light
My, my, my trash bat
Once more with a smile
Broken teeth and empty eyes
In my mean light
My, my, my trash bat

Flies or the flames
Wear no halo round my head, oh blessed be
Flies or the flames
Wear no halo round my head, oh blessed be

Once more with a smile
Broken teeth and bloody eyes
In my mean light
My, my, my trash bat
Once more with a smile
Broken teeth and empty eyes
In my mean light
My, my, my trash bat

Keep it clean
Keep it clean for the camera
In my mean light
Keep it clean
Keep it clean for the camera
In my mean light

Once more with a smile
Broken teeth and bloody eyes
In my mean light
My, my, my trash bat
Once more with a smile
Broken teeth and empty eyes
In my mean light
My, my, my trash bat

    This is the most interesting thing Jade has written in awhile IMO but the vocals are just really really bad. I thought Davey lost it on the blood album but this was worse.

    Admit, through the years AFI always stays AFI. You can't not love this.

  25. P.... 1....

    I wonder how many people are going to say "this reminds me of old AFI" who've never listened to AFI back in the early 2000s. Sing the Sorrow has to be one of my most listened to albums of all time. Never owned the others, but that doesn't mean that i don't know them all word for word. That being said, this song rocks.

  26. T.... P....

    Punk Afi is back.. aslonga stheyt dont go back to that emo hair...afi version Im good with this

  27. �.... �....

    guys, who understood the meaning of this song? share your thoughts

  28. A.... P....

    Why tf did I get a little emotional hearing AFI perfectly combining their old and new styles... Fucking love it

  29. h.... u....

    Fvck yeah!

  30. L.... R....

    Wooooooooooow

  31. m.... d....

    This is great. Soooooooooooooo good. Early 2000s vibe with recent style. They are true musicians.

  32. E.... ....

    Very vibrant hints of December Underground on this track.

  33. W.... A....

    How the fuck did I miss this release!
    Just found this 14:08(2:08pm) 1-3-19
    I literally own their entire discography

  34. G.... j....

    Tumblr Bruce

  35. S.... N....

    Best Punk band ever .. MCR fans don't say anything..

    S.... N....

    hahah MCR what the fuck are you talking about

    S.... N....

    MCR only did three true punk songs—"Mastas of Ravencroft", "Dragon Fighting Society" and one more. They made those just for fun, and not many people know about it. Bullets was post-hardcore, Three Cheers was goth punk/pop punk, the Black Parade was rock, and Danger Days was pop punk. MCR was never a punk band, lol

  36. I.... H....

    Love it, short catchy and to the point, just like old school afi with a new vibe.

  37. A.... S....

    I usually don't like songs that repeat like this. However, the sound and lyrics feel fresh enough to nullify my cynicism entirely.

  38. I.... P....

    Why does this have so few views?

  39. M.... S....

    Yeaahh!!! Give us that PUNK vibe we love from you guys!!! A F I

  40. J.... C....

    This sounds like it could be off of Sing the Sorrow. I'm surprised.

  41. T.... j....

    0:39 batman

  42. J.... M....

    I find myself listening to this ep and I see so many of the fans who hated on DU, Crash Love and Burials saying "they're back". I've been a fan since Black Sails originally released when I was 10. I had been listening to them for 18 years and loved every single album. Then The Blood Album released. I listened 3 times, thinking something was wrong, but nothing was wrong. They just released a boring album. I'm like, "ok. One not great album out of 10 is better than almost any other band out there." Then this came out... Just as dull, and boring. I'm hoping the next full album will have more oomf, but these last two releases were the first disappointment I've gotten from this band.

  43. P.... O....

    Trashbat is, are you ready?
    Trashbat is, are you sure?
    Trashbat is, here we go!

    A night down the pub with your mates and its fucking mental.

    A move from the pub to the club for some awesome sounds!

    Chopping the chalk out, on the cistern.
    Snouting it up and FUCKING THE SYSTEM!

    PREACHER MAN! PREACHER MAN! PREACHER MAN!

  44. A.... H....

    Has that... Crash Love, Sing the Sorrow and The Art of Drowning feel to it. Sounds killer, Jade still using that Axe FX! \m/

  45. H.... H....

    🖤🖤🖤

  46. T.... ....

    This song reminds me a bit more of mid 2000 AFI which is NOT a bad thing at all !!

  47. F.... B....

    Yay more AFI, please. Hooked in their songs since 2007

  48. N.... T....

    22 years and still my favorite band!!!!

  49. J.... W....

    My my my trash bag, keep it clean

  50. J.... K....

    White Bat vs Trash Bat

  51. J.... M....

    3/10. Davey didn’t say “OH!” lmao I’m kidding this is great wtf

  52. A.... D....

    what the fuck is a trash bat

  53. I.... F....

    55 retards visited this video

  54. Z.... T....

    How can AFI do this? One of the most authentic bands. Always stick to their roots and just make subtle changes to their sound. They are just the best

  55. M.... K....

    I haven't really enjoyed anything by AFI since Sing the Sorrow, apart from the odd song (Killing Lights, 17 Crimes and a few others). This and Get Dark are awesome! I hope these are representative of the whole album! 17 Crimes got my hopes up way too much!

  56. W.... c....

    AFI is back old School

  57. B.... B....

    love this song!!! <3 <3 <3

  58. J.... H....

    This to me is a mix between the style of rabbits are roadkill on route 37 and the crash love album. I really love this song. I've adored AFI most of my life and even though they've made a few songs that weren't the best, they will always be my boys.

    J.... H....

    Josh Hayes Street suite And

  59. A.... A....

    Catchy and creepy lyrics

    A.... A....

    nonsensical lyrics.

  60. S.... C....

    OMG I LOVE AFI!!!! I love it when they drop new singles!

  61. T.... B....

    Dope song with cool melodies but the production/pitch correcting on Davey's voice sounds very amateurish.

  62. Y.... e....

    *I MISSED YOU SO BADLY!!!*

  63. p.... ....

    Peace and fucking. Yeah?

    p.... ....

    keep it futile. bum.

  64. P.... G....

    я слушал афи с года 2008-9 и никогда не понимал особо их текста, он вообще имеется хоть в каком-то виде, или же нужно знать какого-то рода сленг или многозначительность предложений? В общем звук всегда радует, но от лирики я далёк и никак не приближаюсь

  65. M.... D....

    Wow it seems every AFI era/iteration/sound/whatever fused into one... i like it

  66. I.... A....

    Been waiting cant wait to c them live

  67. S.... H....

    Amazing song! Finally you guys are back. Super old school feels. But, the Bat and the Smile could be confused with Batman and Joker, this better be a video for a new movie or you guys just might get sued.

  68. n.... ....

    This song makes me want to eat a steak

  69. J.... N....

    AFI is back, esto es muy old school, genial :)

  70. E.... R....

    More!!! More punk rock in my veins!!

  71. J.... W....

    This song is awesome BUT the album sucks

  72. N.... G....

    Wow!!! But, what is this song about????

  73. M.... H....

    It sounds similar to their old stuff. But Daveys voice, isnt the same. If it aint punk or screaming, it just sounds winey.

  74. A.... D....

    Why is this gonna be their best work since DU? Like I’m so ready wtf.

  75. T.... H....

    who said punks dead

  76. �.... �....

    Просто нереально, вы супер

  77. H.... D....

    Wow, AFI comeback!

  78. T.... H....

    Fuck yeah. I'm looking forward to this. Hope Davey is almost finished with the next Blaqk Audio album as well. Cuz that would be dope af

  79. R.... B....

    Alright old skol style is back

  80. C.... _....

    Why do I feel so underwhelmed hearing this?

    C.... _....

    Because of the nostalgia ?

  81. L.... H....

    can't wait. love you guys.

  82. B.... B....

    Is this an unreleased track from "answer that and stay fashionable"?! Must say, I was most impressed with "hidden knives" as a teaser single but this
    STILL
    KICKS
    ASS
    (come to NJ)

  83. G.... ....

    RIP Davey's creative lyricism. AFI will always be my favorite band but I just can't get into these recent albums as much as I'd like to. I have no idea how people are getting "old afi" vibes from this.

  84. I.... J....

    All of my YES.

  85. E.... M....

    Fucking genious!!! 😭 Finally something new from them 🤘

  86. S.... P....

    Get In my... My my my... Trash Bag!!

  87. _.... S....

    Been a fan since "Sing the Sorrow", and that got me into "Decemberunderground" when it came out (those oh so emo highschool daze) and then into the quote, "real" AFI...the punk years. Then I lost em, they dropped a few albums and I didnt give them much attention from my opinion on the singles. THIS NEW ALBUM THOUGH...seems like it might just....miiiiggghhhtttt juussstttt....be a BANGER. They should have released it on Halloween though, or atleast closer to early November. It is December...underground after all. Follow me on IG: @_SCVNGR_

  88. M.... O....

    *Simplesmente foda! <3*

  89. I.... K....

    keep it clean........ keep it clean .... for the camera ! :D rip to the lyrics

  90. K.... V....

    DESPAIR FACTION FOREVER

  91. G.... ....

    SCREAM DAMN IT

  92. T.... T....

    Clearly they ran out of things to say. Flaccid as fuck

  93. P.... S....

    The Midwest sucks but we love you.

  94. C.... P....

    I feel like a trash bat is referring to people with the nephillim tattoo. People always ask is that a bat?

  95. E.... ....

    Again Afi. This I like Me.
