Dark Shadows
burned on my brain
Stranger Things
running through my veins
Better watch out
for the shades
for the thorns without the rose
you’d better keep off,
my dear
don’t you ever come to close
You don’t know me at all
You don’t know me at all
Oh no
Well I put a spell on you
Just like Vampires do
Scattered Bones
dancing through the dark
My Heart is cold
with the death of love

Been travellin' around playin' the blues
can't get no sleep sleep ain't payin' my dues
come on mama, won't you gimme no dime
well I'm just a poor boy
havin' booze all the time
I'm doin' just fine
well I keep walking' the line
just keep playing' the blues
cause sleep ain't payin' my dues
See the Devil well he's hanging' up high
just like a watchman up in the Sky
but I don't care, whether it's right or wrong
I'm just a sinner
singin' a whisky song
I'm doin' just fine
well I keep walking' the line
just keep playing' the blues
cause sleep ain't payin' my dues
All night long, I sing my songs
songs about whisky
until my sorrows are gone
until my sorrows are gone
all night long, I sing my songs
until my sorrows are gone
I'm doin' just fine
well I keep walking' the line
just keep playing' the blues
the blues (Keep playin')
the blues (Just keep playin')
Ha!

Still I’m waiting for your move
just to let you down
guess your heart it’s on the line
just a matter of time
there are ghosts you can’t see
and monsters hiding beneath
how I wish you could make them go
make them go
I would love you
if I could make up mind
I would hold you
I would love you
if I could bear the weight
I would
hold you
how we made it through the fall
how we made it at all
still we play a game of hearts
steady as house of cards
how I wish we could let it go

Early this morning
I’m gonna hit the road
one last refill
god knows I’m gonna get my load
all this trouble
all this sorrow in vain
no time for the sun to wake up
I need to catch my train
Come on down, bottoms up
one last dance, let’s fill up the cups
Colorado here I come
El Dorado, where all sorrows are gone
Seems to be such an easy thing
but in fact it’s so hard
everybody’s leaving footprints
while I keep circling back to the start
well I guess that’s life
how it’s supposed to be
I’m sorry my darling
but my soul needs to break free
Come on down, bottoms up
one last dance, let’s fill up the cups
Colorado here I come
El Dorado, where all sorrows are gone
Colorado
here I come
Colorado
so far away from home

Run rabbit run
Out of the Ground like a son of a gun
Don’t make no sound
Better watch out she’s gonna hunt you down
She’s gonna hunt you down
Howl, howl, howl
With bared teeth and a blood red mouth
She crawls, crawls, crawls
Through the night to get rid of the drouth
She’s gonna hunt,
She’s gonna hunt you down
Through the heat of the midnight sun
Run rabbit run
The Arrow bends the bow
Coyote on tiptoes
One last gasp, one last touch
Love doesn’t hurt it just takes too much
She’s gonna hunt,
She’s gonna hunt you down
Through the heat of the midnight sun
Run rabbit run
Won’t you come undone

Seashelled Heart

Far from home young and free
with candy cones down by the sea
among the pines I lost my heart
where the rain falls only short but sharp
Feel a sunbeam on your skin
smell a steamboat smoky rings
oh please have mercy don’t take me away
cause I found a place to grow old and stay
But oh my girl what are you doing to me
cause I can’t breathe without this breeze
and your seashelled heart
yeah your seashelled heart
And see the waves are breaking wild
it’s time to drift and unwind
with rose colored glasses of an unbiased child
I can see the blues in your eyes
Like a marionette acting tough
what we are well it’s not enough
a lovers dream in a weary head
buried in the width of the ocean bed
But oh my girl what are you doing to me
cause I can’t breathe without this breeze
and your seashelled heart
yeah your seashelled heart

I am Korny Stuttgart, Germany
The phantoms and the dreamers, the heroes and the villains, the brave and the desperate all find their home in his songs. His is the music of an outlaw perceiving his otherness not as a burden but a crown. I Am Korny is distilling the American dream and the American nightmare, the promises of the west and the myth of that endless land into murder ballads about the underbelly of love. ... more
