Uncle Jonny

When everybody else refrained, my Uncle Jonny did cocaine. He's convinced himself right in his brain that it helps to take away the pain.
Hey, Jonny. Hey what you say, Jonny?

I want to go out tonight.
Cut me a little closer to the city lights.
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.
And I want to go out tonight.
Success the superman and hold on tight.
But he's convinced himself right in his brain that it helps to take away the pain.
Hey Jonny. Hey what you say Jonny?

My appetite ain't got no heart.
I said my appetite ain't got no heart.
Shocking people when you feel that pull.
Shock and drop â'em when you know it's full.
I feel a burning in my body core.
It's a yearning that you can't ignore.
Now I got to go out tonight.
Hey, Jonny, I got faith in you man.
I mean it, it's gonna be all alright.
He's convinced himself right in his brain that it helps to take away the pain.
Hey Jonny. Hey, what you say Jonny?

Tell us what's going on.
Seems like everything's wrong.
Hey, what you say Jonny?
And if the future is real, Jonny, you've got to heal.
Hey, what you say Jonny?

When everybody else refrained, my uncle Jonny did cocaine.
