lyrics

Run Johnny Run
Lynne Hanson / Lynn Miles

whippoorwill stopped singing
the cows all ran away
buzzard took a deep breath
there'll be dying done today
pitchforks sticks and matches
man its too late to pray
five souls crossing over
if the devil gets his way

CHORUS
flames are rising higher
moon is turning black
run Johnny run
run Johnny run
run Johnny run
son don't look back

a minute after midnight
knocking at the door
crazy drowned out reason
now there's fresh blood on the floor
hear moaning in the corner
air tastes like kerosene
jesus melting on the wall
trying not to scream

CHORUS

shadows dance and flicker
dog growling at the gate
salt stings the barbwire kiss
fresh across your face
cold night air is whistling
notes pound in your brain
fireflies fill the sky
ashes fall like rain
