Johnny, angry Johnny
This is Jezebel in Hell
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you away
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you away
I can do it you gently
I can do it with an animal's grace
I can do it with precision
I can do it with gourmet taste
But either way
Either, either way
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you away
I can do it to your mind
I can do it to your face
I can do it with integrity
I can do it with disgrace
But either way
Either way
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you away
Johnny, angry Johnny
This is Jezebel in Hell, Johnny
Johnny, angry Johnny
This is Jezebel in Hell
I can do it in a church
I can do it any time or place
I can do it like an angel
To quiet down your rage
But either way
Either, oh either way
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you away
I can do it in the water
I can do on dry land
I can do it with instruments
I can do it with my own bare hands
But either way, either way
You know where it stands
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you away
Johnny, angry Johnny
This is Jezebel in Hell
Johnny, oh my Johnny
Where did your pleasure go
When the pain came through you?
Where did your happiness go?
This force is running you around now
Getting you down now
Where is your pleasure now Johnny?
Where has your pleasure gone now?
Johnny, angry Johnny
This is Jezebel in Hell
Johnny, angry Johnny
This is Jezebel in Hell
Johnny, I wanna blow you
Oh Johnny, away
Johnny, I wanna blow you away
Johnny, every body really doesn't feel okay
Johnny
This is Jezebel in Hell
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you away
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you away
I can do it you gently
I can do it with an animal's grace
I can do it with precision
I can do it with gourmet taste
But either way
Either, either way
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you away
I can do it to your mind
I can do it to your face
I can do it with integrity
I can do it with disgrace
But either way
Either way
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you away
Johnny, angry Johnny
This is Jezebel in Hell, Johnny
Johnny, angry Johnny
This is Jezebel in Hell
I can do it in a church

This song is about her brothers book. Its about a Johnny in her book and the book has a lot of double meanings also. It may have been published in 2000. But the book had been around prior to that. In fact it was born the week her dad died. But to get a deeper value to this song and the album in whole I suggest reading The House Leaves.
Q:Inspired by Poe's childhood and the death of her father. She lived on her own after her parents divorced when she was 16, and her father died a few years later. truth to the song and the book
Not that she's particularly happy with Johnny here, but the "killing" she's talking about is something ultimately for his own good, at least in her mind. This has high accuracy to the meaning and the book.
Are you sure about that? I read from songfacts that the character in the book was based on this song, not the other way around.
