I SAW HER FACE © Angry Johnny And The Killbillies
Bonesaw Lullaby BMI
I saw her face last night in a dream
I saw her face again
I saw her face I heard her scream
I saw her face
It”s been so long since I felt her kiss
It’s been so long
How did it ever come to this
It went so wrong....so goddamn wrong
Was a time she was my everything
There was a time
Then came the time that she was done with me
Then came the time
Then came the day that she walked away
Walked away from me
I really do not recall the day
The day that she...walked away
Now I can’t trust my memory
I don’t know why
The devil and my memory play these tricks on me
I hear her cry
I heard her voice she said she loved me still
I heard her voice
I heard her ask me why I had to kill
I told her I don’t know....I do not know

LOST ON THE WAY ©Angry Johnny
Sometime between here and there
I got lost in the woods
It’s thick in here and hard to walk
Every overgrown path leads to no good
Somewhere between now and then
I think I lost my way for good
It’s dark and murky way down here
If I could make it back to you know that I would
But I got lost on the way
Lost on my way home
And I don’t know why lovers stray
End up all alone
And we may never see the day
When love wins over flesh and bone
It just gets lost on the way
Lost on our way home
Somethings that they told me went over my head
Some things I understood
Some things are better left unsaid
Throw out the bad and keep the good
Sometimes life beats you and leaves you for dead
Leaves you there all alone
There will always be things I wish I had said
But I got lost on my way back home
I got lost on the way
Lost on my way home
And I don’t know why lovers stray
End up all alone
And we may never see the day
When love wins over flesh and bone
It just gets lost on the way
Lost on our way home

21 Avenging Angels

21 Avenging Angels ©Angry Johnny
It finally stopped raining
It rained for forty days
The whole basement was flooded
The bodies rose again
Floating like leafs on water
They rose out of the mud
21 avenging angels
Sent by Satan or sent by God
Some had eyes still staring
Burned my soul right through
Some just bones and tendon
A vengeance laden stew
At first I felt shear terror
I panicked and I ran
But now I’m going back there
Gonna join them if I can
21 avenging angels
21 unholy sins
I opened up the door one day
And let the devil in
Soon I’ll be amongst them
Soon I’ll make things right
This soul so sick and twisted
This soul as black as night
21 unfinished stories
Have risen from their sleep
But now I’ve learned my lesson
I’m digging this hole deep
I will not rise again
I’ll languish deep in hell
21 sad stories
With no one left to tell

GOOD LUCK © Angry Johnny And The Killbillies
Bonesaw Lullaby BMI
You told me that you had to do some thinking
You told me that you were no longer sure
You drove off and I felt my whole life sinking
I knew you didn’t love me anymore
You left without so much as even blinking
So easily you walked out of that door
I spent the next year drowning in my drinking
And wondering what the hell I’m living for
Eventually I dried out out of my stupor
Eventually I climbed out of that grave
I still have no idea what I am good for
And your memory still haunts me to this day
It’s been so goddamn long why can’t I just let go
So long since you’ve been gone and time goes by so slow
You were always so contrary how does your garden grow
Your silver bells and cockle shells were choked out by the weeds
I wonder if you ever found those answers
I wonder how you’ve been all of these years
I heard that you were working as a dancer
And I just wonder why I even care
Maybe I’ll drop in see how you’re doing
Maybe I’ll drop by and wish you luck
Maybe that’ll help me find salvation
And all it’s gonna cost me is a buck

Murder Song ©Angry Johnny And The Killbillies
Bonesaw Lullaby BMI
I’m gonna sing a murder song
About a love that done me wrong
So close your eyes and hum along
And when I’m done I’ll be all gone
I’m gonna sing a murder tune
About a girl who died too soon
A pretty girl who liked the boys
She played with hearts like they were toys
I’m gonna sing this little ditty
About a girl so young and pretty
One night she never made it home
Her neck snapped like a chicken bone
I’m gonna sing a little rhyme
About a girl who once was mine
I begged her but she would not stay
I proved my love to her that day
I guess that’s all my song is done
So pull that lever have some fun
My memory will live as long
As children sing my murder song
So c’mon children sing along
Come and sing my murder song...

The Lake ©Angry Johnny And The Killbillies
Bonesaw Lullaby BMI
I went down to the lake today saw your body floating
Put you there one week before weighted down with stone
Now you’re there for all to see sickly blue and bloated
I went down to the lake today I could hear you laughing
They all thought you had run away left me here a grieving
They always said that you would not stay one day you would be leaving
You laughed at me as you walked away disgusted at my begging
Your laughter seemed to fade away the deeper you were sinking
No matter what they all might say I loved you more than life
Some nights I’d kneel down and pray that you would be my wife
But you were never meant to stay you never really loved me
I sunk you in the lake that day so you’d always be near me
But now you’re floating on the lake your body nearly bursting
Forever I will hear you laugh forever I am cursed
They’re taking me to prison now your body they are burying
I should have let you walk away but I could not bare you leaving
I went down to the lake today saw your body floating
Put you there one week before weighted down with stone
Now you’re there for all to see sickly blue and bloated
I went down to the lake today I could hear you laughing

Bitter Wind ©Angry Johnny
Bonesaw Lullaby BMI
I loved you my dear
But you made it quite clear
That you could not stay here
That you would be going
I begged you to stay
I said there must be some way
That was way back in May
And now it is snowing
I’ve been wondering what’s become of you
All through summer all through autumn too
Sometimes I dream I hear you calling my name
Sometimes I dream this bitter winter never came
The holidays came
but it was not the same
I’ve been hiding the pain
To keep it from showing
I get on with my days
In a permanent haze
People think it’s a phase
But my madness is growing
I’ve been wondering what’s becoming of me
Does anybody see the darkness that I see
A storm is coming The likes of which you’ve never known
A storm is coming and they’ll soon feel the bitter wind blow
The fire inside
Is now too much to hide
You cheated and lied
You set this in motion
But you’ll never know
What you did long ago
Made these bitter winds blow...
There’ll be no sheltering now

THE BOX ©Angry Johnny And The Killbillies
Bonesaw Lullaby BMI
I visited the box the other day
The box that I keep hidden far away
The box that keeps my memories at bay
The box where all my darkest secrets lay
The place I go to kneel down and pray
And wail till the demons go away
The box that I keep covered up with clay
The last place that I kissed you on that day
The box where all my favorite things are saved
The things that I have rescued from their graves
The love that was rejected that I gave
The box I wanted you to share with me
The box where everything comes to it’s end
The box that is my only real friend
The only place on this earth I contend
The only place that I can ever really feel alive
The owls are the only sound out here
The owls and the screaming in my ears
The box that holds a thousand bloody tears
The box that no one else could ever understand
I wail and I pound my bloody fists
The blood spews from the slices in my wrists
And nevermore I’ll taste your sweet sweet kiss
The box cannot bring back the things I miss
My praying and my wailing grows and grows
Does anybody hear it I don’t know
I beg God and Old Scratch to let me go
But they’re having too much fun making this wretched puppet dance
I will take a week to let my body heal
And then I will return with much more zeal
The next time that I bow my head and kneel
Then no one will be able to ignore my final sacrifice
They will whisper of it now for generations
They will read the trees I’ve carved with incantations
When they open up the box Their souls will shiver
And I will haunt their broken hearts until forever
