  • Junkies down in Brooklyn are going crazy
    They're laughing just like hungry dogs in the street
    Policemen are hiding behind the skirts of little girls
    Their eyes have turned the color of frozen meat

    No, no no no, no no no no no no no no,
    Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
    Joan Crawford has risen from the grave

    Catholic schoolgirls have thrown away their mascara
    They chain themselves to the axles of big Mack trucks
    The sky is filled with hurt and shivering angels
    The fat lady lives! Children, start your trucks

    No, no no no, no no no no no no no no
    Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
    Joan Crawford has risen from the grave

    (Christina, mother's home!
    No, no
    Christina
    No, no, no, no
    Come to Mother
    No, no, no, no, no no no no no no
    Christina)

    Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
    Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
    Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
    Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
    Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
    Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
    Joan Crawford has risen from the grave

  • Captainkona from TnJC is one of BOCs coolest songs. MTV is now and always has been an f'n joke from its conception.
    Interesting analogy. Keep in mind that back in the late seventies/early eighties Joan Crawford was a euphemism for Cocaine.
  • Coni Thomson from Sarasota, FloridaReally scary B.O.C song. The piano is phenomenal. So cool. So are many of the guitar riffs. I saw the movie Mommie Dearest. Also, scary. Was it true or fiction l don’t know? Interesting song though. It’s like hmmm.....
