JOHNNY

Johnny dances on his amp
Wearing tight blue jeans and a black leather cap
He sings to all the pretty girls
Who dream of him making her his girl

Johnny…He’s a friend of mine
Yeah you might not ever know it
The silence has been all mine
He brings me diamonds and pearls
After his sweat-drenched shows
He whispers I’m his girl

You’ve got sweat dripping from your lips
You’ve been rock-n-rollin through our eclipse
Can we let this lie low until tomorrow, Johnny
Can you fly me to your favorite New Orleans
Where we can dance in graveyards with tombstones
And we’ll have shadows to beat
Yeah we’ll have shadows to beat
The ghosts might be taking photos
But no one else will see
No worries…no one else will see, Johnny

Johnny sits in our hotel room
Strumming his guitar and singing to the moon
Johnny…He just made love to me
And now the afterglow shock is so blinding
So I bring my body to take the place of Johnny’s guitar
And there we sit face to face
And he kisses me
And then his guitar strings
Gently strum themselves as it falls to our feet

You’ve got sweat dripping from your lips
You’ve been rock-n-rollin through our eclipse
Can we let this lie low until tomorrow, Johnny
Can you fly me to your favorite New Orleans
Where we can dance in graveyards with tombstones
And we’ll have shadows to beat
Yeah we’ll have shadows to beat
The ghosts might be taking photos
But no one else will see
No worries…no one else will see, Johnny
