Johnny Songtext
von Violent Femmes

(So, are you gonna throw the tape?)
(On your head for a half)
(Hold on I′ve got somethin' goin′ on my shoulders)
(I love that song)

Oh Johnny
Do you miss your mother?
Do you miss your father?
Oh and Johnny, do you miss me?

An' I was so hungry
I just want to attack
And I was so hungry
And that mean no, I'll never, I′ll never look back

Oh Johnny
Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes I wonder

And I
And I
Wonder what it′s like to die


No, no, you see I could, I could've been a star, I could
I could′ve been a whip
I tell ya somethin' else right now, right now, John
We could′ve been
Sailing along on our ship

Here's this ring that he wore

It′s just another thing that he wore

But there's somethin' about this ring that
I just can′t ignore
An′ so I keep it though, I don't know what for

Oh Johnny
Do you miss all the old ladies?
Do you miss all of the crazies?
Oh and Johnny, do you miss me?

Oh Johnny
Do you miss your mother?
Do you miss your father?

Oh Johnny, there′s something I'd like to know


And I
And I
Could you tell me John, tell me what it′s like to die?
Tell me what it's like to die
Oh, Johnny
Tell me what it′s like to die
Tell me what it's like to die

Johnny, oh
Can you tell me what it's like to die?
Johnny, Johnny, oh, oh-oh
Can you tell me what it′s like to die?
Johnny, Johnny, oh, oh-oh
Can you tell me what it′s like to die?

Johnny, Johnny, oh, oh-oh
Can you tell me what it's like to die?
Johnny, Johnny, oh, oh-oh

I can′t hear you, I can't hear you
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny oh, oh-oh
Can you tell me what it′s like to die?
Johnny, Johnny, oh, oh-oh
Can you tell me what it's like to die?

(Wow, I love it)
