Uncle 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.
When everybody else refrained
My uncle johnny did cocaine
He's convinced himself right in his brain
That it helps to take away the pain
Hey johnny
Hey what you say johnny
I wanna go out tonight
Come a little closer to the city light
Levitation ain't your only friend
Levitation coming back again
You feel a burning in your body core
It's a yearning that you can't ignore
I wanna go out tonight
Success the superman and hold on tight
He's conviced himself right in his brain
That it helps to take away the pain
Hey johnny
Hey what you say, johnny
My apetite ain't got no heart
I said my apetite ain't got no heart
Shocking people and if you fill that pull
Shocking'em, drop'em when you know it's full
I feel a burning in my body core
It's a yearning you can't ignore
Now i gotta go out tonight
Hey johnny i got faith in you man
I mean it, it's gonna be alright
He's conviced himself right in his brain
That it helps to take away the pain
Hey johnny
Hey what you say johnny
Tell us what's going on
Feels like everything's wrong
Hey what you say johnny
If the future is real,
Johnny you've got to heal
Hey what you say johnny
When everybody else refrained
My uncle johnny did cocaine
