Dead Kennedys - Gaslight Lyrics
Lady Darkness waves her wand
Reality drinks lysergic acid
Makes em rally through tough times
Support your local steel
Positive idea works again
Its so much fun you're
Dying with a lampshade on
Dying with a lampshade on
Dying with a lampshade on
Dying with a lampshade on
Crawling little babies crying
Crawling with 5 dollar scandals
Cant believe little crawling babies
Provided in a twinkling of an eye
Cause they electrocuted you and lousy tinsel's back
So really you're
Dying with a lampshade on
Dying with a lampshade on
Dying with a lampshade on
Dying with a lampshade on
Walking backwards uptight feeling
Knowing somethings up and angels say
Just say such fun for fun's sake or
They say Jesus
And they tried to sell their coke
Jesus Christ like trying to pee backwards
Once they get some champagne bottles and you're
Dying with a lampshade on
Dying with a lampshade on
Dying with a lampshade on
Dying with a lampshade on
Lady Blackness swings her wand
Dying with a lampshade on (on)
Dying with a lampshade on (on)
Dying with a lampshade on (on)

6025 fascinates me
This would have fit perfectly on FFFRV
this is as poppy as any green day song
Laura Plant but it’s actually good and interesting.
@Kiss-Horváth Ferenc i think so
Most DK songs are melodic, but very far from "poppy"
This isn't poppy
👍😎
I've wanted to know the lyrics for years. It wasn't until I read other's ideas for them that I tried to figure it out for myself. Some of these lyrics are no doubt wrong, but given that the DKs were very political and this was by 6025 rather than Biafra, I've chalked some of this up to just bad writing on an unpolished song as well as me being unable to figured out similar sounding and muffled words. I hope someone one day will release the official lyrics or someone can work off what I've got. Hope this helps:
lady darkness waves her wand
reality drinks lysergic acid
makes em rally through tough times
support your local steel
positive idea works again
so they say positive idea works again
its so much fun you're
dying with a lampshade on
dying with a lampshade on
dying with a lampshade on
dying with a lampshade on
crawling little babies crying
crawling with 5 dollar scandals
cant believe little crawling babies
weeping stems are growing
provided in a twinkling of an eye
cause they electrocuted you and lousy tinsel's back
so really you're
dying with a lampshade on
dying with a lampshade on
dying with a lampshade on
dying with a lampshade on
walking backwards uptight feeling
knowing somethings up and angels say
just say such fun for fun's sake or
they say jesus
and they tried to sell their coke
jesus christ like trying to pee backwards
once they get some champagne bottles and you're
dying with a lampshade on
dying with a lampshade on
dying with a lampshade on
dying with a lampshade on
Lady blackness swings her wand
dying with a lampshade on
(on)
dying with a lampshade on
(on)
dying with a lampshade on
(on)
my god this is as epic as it can get!! intro was so fuckin cool!!!!!!!!
Underrated song!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎸🎸🎤
One of my favorite DK songs
Ray's Guitar: Clean/Slightly overdriven tone
6025's Guitar: Fuzzy/Distorted Tone
*continued*. walking backwards uptight feeling you know its up when something they just say just say such fun for thor it sent jesus and they tried to sell there coke jesus christ like winding backwards someplace fits its sham play rolling.
here are all the lyrics I can understand. Lady darkness waves her wand reality the ones resent her tough times support the local steel positive idea works again so they say positive idea its so much fun. *chorus* crawling like them crawling babies crawling with 5 dollor scandels can't belive them crawling babies these weeping stems flowers vanished in the twinkling of an eye. thus eletrecuted kill by flousy tinsel black so really your dying with a lampshade on
I agree... I 6025 is WAAAY under rated the DK's scheme.
Wow him and Biafra really could've made some magic if they would've co-opted writing for the Frankenchrist album.
Awesome song. Hidden GEM
I wonder if this was inspired by the old Ingrid Bergman film "Gaslight," whose husband is trying to drive her insane.
@dylster21502
The lyrics aren't readily available. Some people have posted some of the lyrics in here, but they're not complete. 6025's real name is Carlos Cadona. There is a page for him on Wikipedia.
wolf, if u got the time mayb google the lyricz n add em to description?
anyone have a name for 6025? who is he? is he the lord jesus christ?
maybe a very brief bio?-not on jesus plz lol
6025's guitar playing is INCREDIBLE. Holy shit.
@cubfan531
Good job, this stuff is kinda tough to decipher.
"Positive idea works again, so they say, positive idea, works again it's so much fun, you're dying with a lampshade on", "Lady darkness/blackness (seems to alternate between the two) waves her wand", "you're doing something, something ageless", these are the only lyrics I can discern.
You can hear a little bit of what would become "Drug Me" and "Too Drunk to Fuck" in this proto-song...
I thought i'd heard the whole discography but even now I find cool songs like that they only played once :/ cheers
@harmkesnuf It's a strange song that probably would have fit best in Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables or In God We Trust Inc. I don't think it was ever included because of 6025's departure. At the end it kinda sounds like Jello is mocking the lyrics, but I have no idea.
Great shame they never put this song on an album
