about

The second track from Tennessee Stiffs' new album, "Thirty Pieces," this one is about a bad guy who did some bad things.

lyrics

The boogeyman is dead
Long live the boogeyman

Thirty years ago about, give or take,
He found a family he was bound to break,
From the mud in shoes, to the blood and the booze,
Got a little angry when he sang the blues.

He drew a pinch of poison in a ramblin' line,
Got a little crazy 'round killing time,
Always was a little worthless when he's choppin' wood,
But swingin' an axe always felt damn good.

The boogeyman is dead
Long live the boogeyman

Don't bother lookin' underneath,
He's deep inside the ground,
There's nothing left to scare you now,
Don't bother goin' down.

The boogeyman is dead
Long live the boogeyman

Found him face down in a pillar of ash,
Shell of a thing that's not comin' back,
Touched by an angel, touched by below,
Back from somewhere that we all must go.

The world is full of boogeymen,
And I know this to be true,
Don't go lookin' too closely now,
You'll find the boogeyman is you.

The boogeyman is dead
Long live the boogeyman
