about

Dear Johnny Bob Fans and Supporters of the world united, in November we will release our new album "The Glass Hotel Tapes". You surely already know the first single "Night of the Prom" (Video on Youtube HERE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4xVbs5jnfg).

The album will be available as a limited vinyl edition and digitally. Before the time comes we will follow up with a second song called "Mr Genghis comes to Town" and hope to give you an exciting foretaste of what's to come. Enjoy the flight and tell us what you think about this number, please. A salty salute to you, brothers and sisters!”

lyrics

Mr. Genghis come to Town

Place a thumbtack on the plan where the ancient river ran
Forming chaos into order red balloon flies near a border

Shady light, roses bloom, hours gone by in a secret garden,
Hiding in shadows I’m coming for you in a secret garden

Sunlight faces happy smiles
Modern landscapes funeral pyres
They fuck your brains, propaganda gone wild
No sense in running you will lose my child

Rise and Shine Kyoto

This darkest hour I make my stand
At least the champagne’s cold when worlds will end

Unleash the dogs and hordes and thunder hooves,
Hear them howling on their warpath moves
No sense in running you will lose my clown
When Mr. Genghis comes to town

Shady light, roses bloom, hours gone by in a secret garden,
Hiding in shadows I’m coming for you in a secret garden

Sunlight faces happy smiles
Modern landscapes funeral pyres
Forming chaos into order
Red balloon flies near a border
No snse in running, they will hunt you down
When Mr. Genghis comes to town

Heading west their horses cry
Neon tombstones against the sky
Matters over mind they choose the gun
Kyoto fails, you’re on the run

Rise and shine Kyoto
Champagne class
Rise and shine come shouting
Champagne class
