Book: Time Flies When You're In A Coma

This glossy, boldly arranged tome presents "The Wisdom of the Metal Gods" via the genre's profoundest lyrics: daily affirmations (Iron Maiden: "I have the power to make my evil take its course"), explorations of the human condition (Alice Cooper: "You'd gift wrap a leper and send him to your Aunt Jane"), and invocations of sexuality both bafflingly tender (The Scorpions: "I kiss the pearl right from the shell/Until you feel what these words can't tell") and bafflingly obvious (Quiet Riot: "Wanna kiss your lips, not the ones on your face").
