[Damien Jurado - Johnny Caravella lyrics]
Dear Johnny Midnight, Dear Johnny Cool
I'm consulting the cards after
Hours in my room
I know I should leave but I don't
Have the shoes or the courage
What do you see when the shades are removed?
I will know as well as
You start the next tune
Eclipses are tea cups
We're drinking the moon til you've landed
Removing the clouds and we
All can get through
God is alive and the world's still in tune
Don't change that dial
Here is another word from
One of your sponsors say therе, my friends
Are you tired of thе pain?
Is the weight of your ego
The knife in your veins
Collecting the dimes til you choked on
The chains of your excess?
Birds of Wyoming and flies still are mourning
The loss of a withering spring
Who'll wear the crown when
The change is approaching
Of some other season renown?
Went to arrive and the
Bells have been ringing
Nature it yawns at the sounds of you singing
All is but gone but yet
We pretend to be dreaming
And not long ago I was caught in your line
In your design and sound of your mind
Pulling me through like some thread in
The eye of a needle
I'm awaiting my turn in a
Long train of thought
Here in the back nearly second to last
Tempted to leave but I know once
I do I'll start over
And yes I can say that I quit my whole life
Erasing my name at the top of the page
Moving my pen when the
Audience got too acquainted
I was tired, I was weak
And my jaw nearly broke
As I exited north, the radio spoke
All is not lost even if
You're without a direction
Go west, go west, 1972
The sun hasn't set, the stars they are few
Just stick around till the light
Pushes into the darkness
Just stick around till the light
Pushes into the darkness
Just stick around till the light
Pushes into the darkness
Just stick around till the light
Pushes into the darkness
Just stick around till the light
Pushes into the darkness
Just stick around till the light
Pushes into the darkness just stick around
I'm consulting the cards after
Hours in my room
I know I should leave but I don't
Have the shoes or the courage
What do you see when the shades are removed?
I will know as well as
You start the next tune
Eclipses are tea cups
We're drinking the moon til you've landed
Removing the clouds and we
All can get through
God is alive and the world's still in tune
Don't change that dial
Here is another word from
One of your sponsors say therе, my friends
Are you tired of thе pain?
Is the weight of your ego
The knife in your veins
Collecting the dimes til you choked on
The chains of your excess?
Birds of Wyoming and flies still are mourning
The loss of a withering spring
Who'll wear the crown when
The change is approaching
Of some other season renown?
Went to arrive and the
Bells have been ringing
Nature it yawns at the sounds of you singing
All is but gone but yet
We pretend to be dreaming
And not long ago I was caught in your line
In your design and sound of your mind
Pulling me through like some thread in

Just stick around till the light
Pushes into the darkness
Just stick around till the light
Pushes into the darkness
Just stick around till the light
Pushes into the darkness
Just stick around till the light
Pushes into the darkness
Just stick around till the light
Pushes into the darkness
Just stick around till the light
Pushes into the darkness just stick around
