letra de scary stories 2: swampview history (1925-1995) - johnny sebastian

ghost cowboys of cruel county, they’re longing for their bounty
ghost cowboys of cruel county roam the night
they’ll haunt the town you live in
they’re coming for paul’s children
those cowboys of cruel county roam the night

once upon a time in 1925
a man came to swampview by the name of paul q
he held the mystery of electricity in his hand, in his hand
the cowboys there were skeptical
and the miners donned their spectacles
the town prostitute said the tech was a fluke as she fanned
as she fanned herself
paul q insisted that the tech was real in fact
for ten bucks each the residents there were to be in the very first electronic picture
pack in close, duck down please, smile real wide, happy halloween!
malfunction!
fire, glorious fire, cruel county burning alive
only the prostitute’s toddler survived
and the prostitute said as she burned up in flames
“with my last dying breath i curse your family name”
and she still haunts the tech on our cruel avenue
no one quite knew what became of paul q
and no matter what happened be wrong or be right
ghost cowboys of cruel county roam the night
they haunt the town you live in
they’re coming for paul’s children
they haunt the town you live in
they’re coming for paul’s children

mummy, my love, honey i’m on the job
i’ve been mayor since ‘31
but this town can’t unwrap what i’ve done
and a few find it ominous
how i love to hold your sarcophagus
and your kiss, it tastes like the crypt
you spill your guts when you open your lips
oh, mummy, my dear, i know you’ll k!ll me on halloween this year
all i ask is you don’t tell the town that you turned my tomb upside down
my undead love

i lost my girl when i came back from the war
i didn’t know where to go but went to the store
i bought some candles, a ouija board, next thing you know i started rattlin’ on the floor
what’s next? (what’s next? what’s next?)
baby i’m possessed (already i’m thinking i’m possessed)
and i’m singing these possessed blues i think i need a hex
(i think i need a hex)
well i lost my girl in ‘44 but i was out in germany fightin’ the war
i told myself i’d do anything to get her back
so i sold my soul to satan for a camelback
now i’m sayin’ backwards words, i think i am possessed
asfds;lfkjas;lkdfja;slkdfjals;kjf;lskdjf;slkj
i’m singin’ one for the blood, two for the the pain
i’m burying a body at the bottom of the lake
oh, what’s next ?(what’s next? what’s next?)
think i’ve been possessed (already i’m thinking i’m possessed)
and i’m singing these possessed blues i think i need a hex
(i think i need a hex)

21 spider bites on my 21st
i was born on halloween, i think it’s the worst
my mom asked what i wished
i told her not to be bit
21 spider bites on my day of birth
21 spider bites, on my daughter’s grave
21 spider bites, now i miss her face
the black widow spider and the brown recluse
and when you pop those eggs, they all go loose
when you pop those eggs, they all go loose
and when you pop those eggs, they all go loose
she was the world record holder of ‘55
too bad that my daughter died
too bad that my daughter died
too bad that my daughter died
of 21 spider bites

well it was halloween night of ‘65
we were playing truth or dare in tony’s drive
and i felt like a child(and i felt like a child)
i hadn’t loved in a while (i hadn’t loved in a while)
then manny dared me something scary
she used to come to swim in the swamp
and we all laughed for a while
and in a comfortable style
cause we had all heard the urban legends
and if i didn’t then they wouldn’t forget it
so we drove down to the swamp for a couple miles
i walked in the water ‘til it was up to my hips (up to my hips)
the water was green and the air was thick (air was thick)
and i wasn’t afraid (and i wasn’t afraid)
and they were chanting my name (and they were chanting my name)
suddenly i felt something grab my left leg
it pulled me down…

you’re listening to swampview radio ‘70s rewind…
up next, “trapped” by sassparilla
this classic love song peaked at number two on the billboard halloween 100
in october of 1975
fun fact, this was sassparilla’s biggest single and their last single before the band broke up
because funnily enough, all the band members went missing
anyway, here’s “trapped” by sassparilla

girl, i’m trapped, trapped in your love
girl, i’m trapped, i can’t get enough
and we’re trapped, we’re trapped in this song
yeah we’re trapped, so please don’t turn it off
cause if you did (if you did)
feel pain (terrible excruciating pain)
from the black void you create(like a temporary brain death)
i could only sing in rhymes
we’re trapped inside
trapped (listen closely we’re trapped in this song)
get me out, i miss my wife and kids
girl, you know i’m so trapped in your love
i’m also trapped in this mp3 waveform
get me out! i know you’re listening to this ep
the walls move closer every minute
yeah we’re trapped, i hope you get what i mean
yeah we’re trapped, we know about the ep
yeah we’re trapped, we are a scary story
so please don’t turn us off right now
don’t turn us off right now
don’t let the song end, don’t let the song end
don’t let the song end, don’t let the song end
don’t let the song end, don’t let the song end
(please help me, please don’t..)

you’re gonna, you’re gonna, you’re gonna die
mrs. horrorvitz
running hot, mrs. horrorvitz
you’re gonna die
mrs. horrorvitz
running hot, mrs. horrorvitz
running hot, tell me what would that do
mrs. horrorvitz taught math in the classroom
in my junior high, 1985
mr. h was the apple of her eye
apple of the school’s eye, most ignored the mrs
she would play along, blowing students kisses
and no one really spoke of it, nothing really came of it
all was well in swampview grade 6 mrs. horrorvitz
mrs. horrorvitz (running hot)
mrs. horrorvitz (you’re gonna die)
mrs. horrorvitz (running hot, running hot, running)
until one day on halloween billy’s c’s brother
called mrs. h hot
he had blown his buddy’s cover
and one student to another to another back to her
mrs. h stood up and said “we’re ‘bouta learn”
she stabbed a pencil through the abdomen of mike
made incisions through his stomach
ate his heart in seven bites
and when she was finally done
she used his bleeding arm for chalk and said
“test on this tomorrow, study up”
mrs. horrorvitz

curses are just something you lean in
either that or something that your time will not forget
father’s gonna kick me out this evening
found the candle i’ve been burning at both ends
we were always more than friends now
now near the avenue where
the prostitute swore her revenge
at this picnic here 30 years ago, the man jumped in
seems our love has blossomed from the graves of many men
if you only would have listened (if you only would have listened)
if you only would have listened
and we will be back
one good thing that ever came from the water green
and we’ll hold hands and we dive into the water green
