lyrics

She says Johnny when you kiss me
Sometimes I get to thinking
That all the world is sinking
And nobody throws a line
Baby when you do that thing
The one that makes my body sing
You may not say you love me but I need you to be mine

She says Johnny when you hold me
When I’m sleeping, when I’m dreaming
I hear the whole world screaming
I’m just reaching out to you
Run your fingers down my spine
Say you are forever mine
Oh my Johnny, oh my sweet sweet Johnny Blue

He dreams of the princess that the dawn could never kill
The one that always loved him just the same
Johnny Blue oh how she loved you and how you broke that heart
Remember how she said your name
Remember how you played the game

She says she’s trapped by all these choices
All these questions all these voices
One and one it well
It don’t always add to two
So she made a map of all his scars
His tattoos of a dying star
The black black heart, the heart of Johnny Blue

He dreams of the princess that the dawn could never kill
The one that always loved him just the same
Johnny Blue oh how she loved you and how you broke that heart
Remember how she said your name
Remember how you played the game

He’s picking up his biker rings
His voodoo dolls and other things
That old black leather jacket
went for rent
He searches for his bunch of keys
Finds ‘em and he goes to leave
Thinks on all the words they said and what they really meant

He dreams of the princess that the dawn could never kill
The one that always loved him just the same
Johnny Blue oh how she loved you and how you broke that heart
Remember how she said your name
Remember how you played the game
