Rockabilly Ripper

There a little place, oh way out west
Across the desert hills where the sun don't rest
They tell a tale that I doubt you've heard
About a handsome fella they call the Ripper
Hide your daughters and lock your doors
Or else your gonna meet the Rockabilly Ripper
Oh, he's coming for you
Oh yeah, like he's coming for me, baby
Oh he's coming for you
Oh yeah like he's coming for me
Can't you see, he's on the prowl
They say you'd never know he's the killing type
Leather coat and perfect hair on a motor bike
When he's with his crew they always make a scene
dancing at the bars on the mezzanine
He'll take you home and he'll call you his babe
Then tear your heart out, Lord no-one is safe
Oh, he's coming for you
Oh yeah, like he's coming for me, baby
Oh he's coming for you
Oh yeah like he's coming for me
Can't you see, he's on the prowl
He rides through the night like a bat out of hell
And are you the next victim, oh no one can tell
Don't try to fight him, don't you try to be brave
Because rumble with the ripper sends you straight to the grave
Hide in your houses, hide under your bed
Because a date with the ripper is a date with the dead
Oh, he's coming for you
Oh yeah, like he's coming for me, baby
Oh he's coming for you
Oh yeah like he's coming for me
Can't you see, he's on the prowl
Let's see him dance
They say he's just a man of flesh and bone
That you'll always be safe with your family at home
And if you're God fearing and you always behave
That he'll never hunt you down or take you away
But don't you believe that if you do what you should
That the Rockabilly Ripper won't thirst for your blood
Oh, and he's coming for you
Oh yeah, like he's coming for me, baby
Oh and he's coming for you
Oh yeah like he's coming for me
Can't you see, he's on the prowl

Red Right Hand

Take a little walk to the edge of town
And go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms
Like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires
In the humming wires
Hey man, you know
You're never coming back
Past the square, past the bridge
Past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes
A tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat with
A red right hand
He'll wrap you in his arms,
And say you've been a good boy
He'll rekindle all the dreams
It took you a lifetime to destroy
He'll reach deep into the hole
Heal your shrinking soul
But there won't be a single thing that you can do
He's a god, he's a man
He's a ghost, he's a guru
They're whispering his name
Through this disappearing land
But hidden in his coat
Is a red right hand…
You don't have no money?
He'll get you some
You don't have no car?
He'll get you one
You don't have no self-respect
You feel like an insect
Well don't you worry buddy
'Cause here he comes
Through the ghettos and the barrio
And the Bowery and the slum
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
Stacks of green paper in his
Red right hand
You'll see him in your nightmares
You'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere but
He ain't what he seems
You'll see him in your head
On the TV screen
Hey buddy, I'm warning
You to turn it off
He's a ghost, he's a god
He's a man, he's a guru
You're one microscopic cog
In his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
His red right hand

Stay With Me

Hundreds of lives
Counting the years
Always alone
Holding back tears
And then you arrived
Walked through my door
You were the soul
I'd waited for
Oh ah oh
Stay with me, ah oh
Stay with me, my love
Forever with me
You can't feel my touch
Like I'm not even there
When I kiss your face
I'm a chill in the air
I'm reading your books
I'm the voice in the hall
The man by your side
Haunting these walls
Oh ah oh
Stay with me, ah oh
Stay with me, oh my love
Forever with me
These boney hands,
have so much to give
You can't be with me though
As long as you live
Oh ah oh
Stay with me, ah oh
Stay with me, oh my love
Forever with me
You breath through the pain
It can't be undone
And soon you'll be free
And have all my love
Oh ah oh
Stay with me, ah oh
Stay with me, oh my love
Forever with me

Bones in the Walls Tucson, Arizona
An indie, Americana folk rock duo based out of Tucson Arizona.
Music inspired by dark southwestern cities and desert landscapes.🌵
Bones in the Walls recommends:
Strange and dark western vibes, surfy guitar, heavy tremolo, broody vocals, electronic drums, synthy keyboard backing. Like a soundtrack to a dark drive across the desert.
go to album
Dark organs, retro guitars harping along to eerily sung vocals. It's dissonant, and transporting, it'll take you to another time, to dark obscure halls of memories you've long forgotten.
go to album
A dark jazz lounge singer revival, most songs sound like heartache, and loss. Each songs blends retro electronic and acoustic instrumentation that pair perfectly with the warm singing style. Love it.
