Possessed to Skate Lyrics


Let's skateSeemed like such an innocent toy
He was the all American boy
Got a skate at eight years old
Now the story can be toldBeware, he's possessed to skateSkating takes him up in height
He's a pilot on a modern flight
See him flying through the air
If he don't land then he don't care'Cause he rips when he skates
'Cause he never hesitates
He's the wizard on the wheels
Like a modern gladiator, ain't got no fears
So skateHe shoots the pool like a launching pad
If it ain't insane then you can't get rad
Skating is all that's on his mind
He's skating radical all the time'Cause he rips when he skates
'Cause he never hesitates
He's the wizard on the wheels
Like a modern gladiator, ain't got no fears
So skateBeware, he is possessed to skate

Possessed to skateLooks like a magic carpet ride
Six foot aerials, inverts backside
Optical illusion it must be
He redefines insanity'Cause he rips when he skates
'Cause he never hesitates
He's the wizard on the wheels
Like a modern gladiator, ain't got no fears
So skateDoesn't understand why you'd wanna walk
Ain't got time to sit and talk
Used to be just like you and me
But now he's an outcast of societySo beware, he's possessed to skatePossessed to skate, possessed to skate
Possessed to skate, possessed to skate
Possessed to skate, possessed to skate
Possessed to skate

Suicidal Tendencies is an American crossover thrash band formed in 1982 in Venice, California. Sometimes regarded as the progenitors of skate punk, they later incorporated significant heavy metal and thrash elements. The group, led by Mike Muir ("Cyco Miko"), had a rough start that included being voted "Worst Band/Biggest Assholes" in Flipside in 1982. Using the opposition to fuel creativity, they quickly gained a following, performing larger and larger gigs. As the size grew, so did the rumors of gang relations and violence (eventually leading to a Los Angeles ban on public performances by Suicidal Tendencies). The band signed with the indie label Frontier Records and issued their classic self-titled debut in 1983. The album was the best-selling hardcore album up to that point. It included many memorable songs. The video for Institutionalized was one of the first hardcore punk videos to receive substantial airplay on MTV. It was also used in the Emilio Estevez cult classic movie Repo Man and an episode for the hit TV show Miami Vice (which included a cameo appearance by the group). Recently the track has been used in the blockbuster movie Iron Man. Their song Possessed to Skate solidified their status as a premier skate punk band. How Will I Laugh Tomorrow has become one of the band's most acclaimed songs. After lineup changes and side projects, including the Infectious Grooves, they have continued to release albums and (as of 2004) are working on a new album and a Live-DVD to be titled "Return to Venice."
Former Bass player Robert Trujillo currently plays for Metallica and former guitar player Rocky George joined Fishbone.
