Daniel Johnston - Villain Lyrics

Poor you.. Poor you.. Noone understands you..

"It's Spooky"

Sometimes when I'm watching television

And I think that most of the people in the movie

Are probably dead

And it's spooky



And when I go to the funeral

See the people weeping

And the body in the casket

It's spooky



And in the Casper the Friendly Ghost cartoon

I always wondered how it was

Had he died?

And it spooked me

It's spooky



OooooooOooooh

OoooooOooOooh

Something's happening in the world

The heavy metal band

(Ooooooooooh

Ooooh)

 

"I Met Roky Erickson"

I met Roky Erickson

I met Roky Erickson

I saw him on a public access television

He said he signed his soul to the devil

I heard him on a radio

Singin' Don't Shake Me Lucifer



This guy came to McDonald's

Said he want to do a video

He said I worked with Roky Erickson

I said let's make a horror movie



We took a bus across town

And we came to Roky's home

We walked in and it was eerie

He was playing guitars with his records alone



We were going to make a film

Balled The Damn Thing

But it never came about

But I always went to his house



His mum would make chicken

And we would watch horror movies

The last time that I saw him

Was when he did a show



Me and Trisha Coffee

Went and saw Roky play

He sang Bloody Hammer

And Two Headed Dog



The band was true believers

But the promoters turned the power off

He said: "I've been drinking lots of blood."

The crowd went wild



I met Roky Erickson

I met Roky Erickson

I met Roky Erickson

I met Roky Erickson



Roky...

 

"Happy Talk"

Happy

Oh keep talking happy talk

Talking about the things you like to do



You gotta have a dream

Cause if you don't have a dream

How you gonna have a dream come true



Talk about the moon

Floating in the sky

Looking like a lilly on a lake



Talk about a bird

Learning how to fly

Making all the music he can make



Happy

Oh keep talking happy talk

Talking about the things you like to do



Talk about a star

Looking like a toy

Peeking through the branches of a tree



Talk about a girl

Talk about a boy

Counting all the ripples on the sea



Happy

Oh keep talking happy talk

Talking about the things you like to do



Talk about a boy

Saying to the girl

Gully baby I'm a lucky cuz



Talk about a girl

Saying to that boy

You and me are as lucky to be us



Happy

Oh keep talking happy talk

Talking about the things you like to do



Happy

Keep talking happy talk

 

"McDonalds On The Brain"

He's got McDonald's on a brain It's plain
to see

When I saw him on the street the first thing he said to me

Was: "Boy we sure can make those Big Macs fast."



He's got McDonald's on the brain it's plain to see

They've got McDonald's on the brain it's plain to see



They sat around on their 15 minute brake

Showing the scars on their arms

They bragged about how fast they make those hamburgers

And talked about the times that they got burned



They've got McDonald's on the brain it's plain to see

 

"I Did Acid With Caroline"

I did acid with Caroline and we both had a
real good time

We talked till two in the morning, playing records and I showed her some
drawings



I did acid with Caroline and we were one, we were one



We climbed up top of the building and looked out over the city

The night was cool the wind was blowing, there were dead crickets everywhere



I did acid with Caroline and we were one, we were one



I did acid with Caroline, we burnt candles all night long

She showed me strange books of black magic, my head was really spinning



I did acid with Caroline and we were one, we were one



I did acid with Caroline and we both had a real good time

We talked till two in the morning, playing records and I showed her some
drawings



I did acid with Caroline and we were one, we were one

 

"Tongues Wag In This Town"

Have you heard the news

Well, well my dear

Tongues wag in this town

Tongues wag in this town

Tom told Mary, Mary told Joe

Joe told Saran Cindy

And Saran Cindy

Told

Lisa and me



Have you heard the latest

My, my, my

Tongues wag in this town

Tongues wag in this town

When you hear the dirty lies

That ruin people's lives

You'll know that it's a crime

And an evil thing

 

"A Vow Of Love"

Every word a treasure

More precious than silver or gold

Every word a treasure

A vow of love eternal



A vow of love

The truth unknown



You might not believe

But some day you may grieve



And wish that you did

 

"When Love Calls"

[Chorus]

When love calls

Where will you be?

When love calls

Where will you be?

Will you hear the knock

When love calls your name?



When love calls

What will you do?

When love calls

What will you do?

Will you hear the knock

When love calls your name?



[Verse]

Beware of darkness

Beware of evil

Beware my child

It will soon be over



[Chorus]

When love calls

Where will you be?

When love calls

Where will you be?

Will you hear the knock

When love calls your name?



When love calls

What will you do?

When love calls

What will you do?



When love calls...

 

"Hands Of Love"

I can't get over myself falling into the
hands of love

Just can't imagine myself falling head over heels in love



But when I saw you last night

I knew for the first time

That you were the one

I've been dreaming of



I can't get over myself falling into the hands of love

Falling into the hands of love



But when I saw you last night

I knew for the first time

That you were the one

I've been dreaming of



I can't get over myself falling into the hands of love

Love sweet love



But when I saw you last night

I knew for the first time

That you were the one

I've been dreaming of



I can't get over myself falling into the hands of love

Just can't imagine myself falling head over heels in love

Love sweet love



[4x]

Love sweet love

"Villain"

I'm walking the floor

All over town

Oh how the people stare



I have my heart on my sleeve

And it sure is a mess

Walking the floor over you



I'm talking to the walls

But it's no use

They've heard it all before



I'm climbing a tree

Just hook and me

Hangin like a dead man



I know that you

Can understand

You never offered me a (your) hand



All through the years

You had me deceived

I never would have believed



What you've done to me

You'll do to others

You come on like a lover



But I'll let them know

The truth about you

You'll never work in this town again



You'll pay for what you've done

Because you are the one

Who deserves the worst



I've left you now

And I will return

To the one I was with first

 

"Chords Of Fame"

[Verse 1]

I found him by the stage last night

He was breathing his last breath

A needle full of heroin was all that he had left

I can see that you make music

'cause you carry your guitar

But god help the troubadour

Who tries to be a star



[Chorus]

So play the chords of love my friends

Play the chords of fame

But if you want to keep your songs

Don't, don't, don't

Don't play the chords of fame



[Verse 2]

I've seen my share of hustlers

As they've tried to take the world

When they find their melody

They're surrounded by the girls

But it all faints so quickly

Like a sunny summer day

We porters ask the questions

They write down what you say



[Chorus]

So play the chords of love my friends

Play the chords of fame

But if you want to keep your songs

Don't, don't, don't

Don't play the chords of fame



[Verse 3]

They'll rob you of your innocence

They'll put you up for sale

The more that you will find success

The more that you will fail

I've been around, I've had my share

But I really can't complain

But I wonder who I left behind

The other side of fame



[Chorus]

So play the chords of love my friends

Play the chords of fame

But if you want to keep your songs

Don't, don't, don't

Don't play the chords of fame



[Verse 4]

They're gonna put me in the movies

They're gonna make a picstar outta me

I play the bar and I won't need rehearsing

'cause all I gotta do is

Act naturally

 

"Casper The Friendly Ghost"

He was smiling through his own personal
hell

Dropped his last dime down a wishing well

But he was hoping too close

And then he fell

Now he's Casper the friendly ghost



He was always polite to the people who'd tell him

That he was nothing but a lazy bum

But goodbye to them he had to go

Now he's Casper the friendly ghost



No one never treated him nice

While he was alive

You can't buy no respect

Like the librarian said

But everybody respects the dead

They love the friendly ghost



And now they say we'll never forget

What he learned us

We were mean to him

But he never burned us, and

Love lives forever

Thank you, the friendly ghost

Thank you, Casper the friendly ghost



And so the legend grew

And all the people that he knew

Go and spread the news of

Casper the friendly ghost

 

"Nothing Left"

There's nothing left for me now

Nothing to do but cry

There's nothing left for me to say

That I didn't or I haven't or I won't



There's nothing left for me now

Nothing to do but cry

There's nothing left for me to say

That I didn't or I haven't or I won't



There's nothing left

There's nothing right

All that was right is now gone



There's nothing left to do but cry

And cry

And cry

And cry

And cry

And cry



And cry

And cry

And cry

And cry

And cry

And cry

And cry

And cry

And cry

 

"Tears Stupid Tears"

Time is a matter of fact

And it's gone and it'll never come back

And mine, it's wasted all the time

Tears, stupid tears, bring me down



I got lucky by coincidence

But I got my feelings bent

And my head looking at the ground

Tears, stupid tears, bring me down



How could you know that's where the wind blows

Out to the wind that's where my love goes

And it brings me down

Tie my brain into a knot

Those tears, stupid tears, bring me down



I know that I have a friend

He stays with me all day long

He knows and I walk in his shell

I was born in the body and right from the start

Those tears, stupid tears, been tearing us apart



How could I know that's where the wind blows

Out to the wind that's where my love goes

And it brings me down

Tie my brain into a knot

Those tears, stupid tears, bring me down

 

"Get Yourself Together"

Get yourself together or fall apart

Make your mind up or let yourself down

Get yourself together or fall apart

Make your mind up or let yourself down

 

"Sweet Loafed"

(Daddy?) Yes, son?

(What is Hell?) Well, son, a funny thing about Hell is that

It's better to burn in Hell for all eternity

Than to bother to try to live a good life while you're alive on this earth

And by the way, if you see the Butthole Surfers this weekend

Be sure and tell them

Satan! Satan! Satan!



Lake of fire. Lake of fire

(Daddy?) Yes, son?

(Who is the God of rock and roll?)

Satan! Satan! Satan!



Lake of fire. Lake of fire. Lake of fire



(Daddy?) Yes, son?

(Who is the author of all lies?)

Satan! Satan! Satan!



Lake of fire. Lake of fire. Lake of fire



(Daddy?) Yes, son? What is it this time?

(Who is Wayne Newton?)

Satan! Satan! Satan!



Lake of fire. Lake of fire. Lake of fire

A more ambitious crossover than Infinify War, although I've never seen it. Genius. Coke meets Pepsi. The likeliest unlikely combo since Peanut Butter and chocolate. You know you cant top it. Two insane genius supervillians of a similar mindset and atonal tones, two outsider musician magicians. Spooky sizes up, describes some of the trippy tracks on here. How did they make this? Schizophrenia, bipolar, beer and LSD probably, dont reccomend either one.

What's wrong with beer and LSD?

@martk fartkerson if you have Schizophrenia and do LSD it isnt that good fam

F-N Awesome

SATAN SATAN SATAN!

Almost nothing better than waking up at 5:30 a.m, and drinking a pot of coffee to a couple of Daniel Johnston’s masterpieces.

geniale
