They're gonna come to get me now
They're gonna come to get me now
They're gonna to turn me inside out
They're gonna come to get me now
Mary wasn't nice, she's on ice
Timmy got chopped up
Ate Billy with ketchup
Henry pulled a dog tail - in jail
Suzie, whip crack
Lucy, never coming back
Anne told fibs, broke her little ribs
Matthew, blown up
Zachary, sewed up
Greedy Rita cooked in beef stew
Johnny... cat food
They're gonna come to get me now
They're gonna come to get me now
They're gonna pull my eyeballs out
They're gonna come to get me now

Dancing Like the Devil

I'll tell you about some folks I know that get sauced every year or so
Starts out silent as a ghost, until some joker makes a toast
Dancing like the Devil
Too much cleavage, too much wine - they're gonna start a conga line
Thought I heard a mid-level manager say, "The harder you work, the harder you play"
Dancing like the Devil
He'll take your teeth, he'll take your tongue
Take your screams and make them sung
Scoop your brain, strip your skin
Down to the toes, up to the chin
Hey sport, don't be blue - you can dance like the Devil too
Just mix that daily grind with gin, shake that chain and then begin
Shake it like the Devil - shake it

Take me by my bony hand
When I'm in my December
Lay me on the fallen leaves
Help me to remember
I'd forgotten how this goes
Every month's a mask, oh
Spring is like a tiny book
That you have only borrowed
Fare thee well, bon voyage
I don't know why you came here
But if you're passing through again
I hope that you would stay here
I'm not the man I thought I'd be
I'm living in a box now
Children dread my shadow
And I see that I'm the monster
My friends and I were born into
A season full of rats, dear
As soon as we could make a sound
We cried out, "Happy New Year"
Fare thee well, bon voyage
I don't know why you came here
But if you're passing through again
I hope that you would stay here

Don't Fail Me Now

John has one of the best bands ever. His songwriting is masterful - heartbreaking and heartbroken. And the riffs are pretty badass. He is a brilliant performer and a great friend. Check him out!
