lyrics

Johnny Boy woke right up to the mourner’s sunrise hey hey
Mourned for the things in his life that were not yet dead
Dressed in black with his chest to his hat and holding flowers
Rehearsing funeral speeches in his head

Oh and he wept through the day
And this funny way
He would lose every joy now just the same
Hear the birds in the trees
They be singing eulogies
For the man killing himself with his brains

Johnny boy woke right up to the mourning sunrise hey hey
Mourned for the treats and the sweets he had not been fed
Bad attitude and the kind of a mood that was so sour
Turned every sweet in this world to bitterness

And he wept through the day
And this funny way
He would lose every joy now just the same
Hear the birds in the trees
They be singing eulogies
For the man killing himself with his brains

What’s that dragging down his soul
Turning him so cynical
Like a sun that has run out of rays?

Johnny Boy woke right up to the mourner’s sunrise hey hey
Mourned for the things in his life that were not yet dead
Specters flying through his fractured mind
Leaving him so scrambled
Like a rooster crowing at the moon at the end of the day

And he wept through the day
And this funny way
He would lose every joy now just the same
Hear the birds in the trees
They be singing eulogies
For the man killing himself with his brains

Drawing on 90's alt, vintage punk, and the seedier side of classic rock, Their debut E.P. BILLIONAIRES, is a self-produced portrait of modern insanities and working class truths. ... more
