The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Hey man, I see you

Open up, okay

Get out of here, Iggy

Come on now, fix me up

Love becomes compulsive

It's wiser to say no

God made me a junkie

But Satan told me so

You're strung out Johnny

And you can't get away

You're strung out Johnny

And now it's time to pay

First time you do it with a friend

Second time you do it in a bed

Third time you can't get enough

And a life gets all fucked up

All fucked up

You're strung out Johnny (strung out Johnny, oh)

You're strung out Johnny (strung out Johnny, oh)

Promise said to Donnie

Sell that boy his spoon

Dump him like a hero

Or be forgotten soon

I'm strung out mommy

And I can't get away

I'm strung out mommy

And now it's time to pay

First time you do it with a friend

Second time you do it in a bed

Third time you can't get enough

And a life gets all fucked up

All fucked up

You're strung out Johnny

You're strung out Johnny (strung out Johnny, oh)

And you can't get away

You're strung out Johnny (strung out Johnny, oh)

And now it's time to pay

You're strung out Johnny (strung out Johnny, oh)

Nobody loves you so

You're strung out Johnny (strung out Johnny, oh)

And that's the way it goes

I'm strung out mommy (strung out Johnny, oh)

I'm strung out mommy (strung out Johnny, oh)

You're strung out Johnny
