Prince Johnny
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.
Prince Johnny, you're kind but you're not simple
By now I think I know the difference
You wanna be a son of someone
Remember the time we went and snorted
That piece of the Berlin Wall
That you'd extorted
And we had such a laugh of it?
Prostrate on my carpet
You traced the andes with your index
And bragged when and where and who you
Gonna bed next
All with sons of someones
Saw you pray to all
To make you a real boy
Saw you pray to all
To make you a real boy
Prince Johnny, you're kind but do be careful
By now I know just when to stand clear
When all your friends and acolytes are holding court
In bathroom stalls
Where you pray to all
To make you a real boy
Saw you pray to all
To make you a real boy
But honey don't mistake my affection for another spit and
Penny-style redemption
Cause we're all sons of someone's
We're all sons of someone's
I wanna mean more than I mean to you
I wanna mean more than I meant to him
So I pray to all
To make me a real girl
So I pray to all
To make me a real girl
So I pray to all all all all
