The Bouncing Souls - The Ballad Of Johnny X lyrics
[The Bouncing Souls - The Ballad Of Johnny X lyrics]
Johnny says he's bound by only
Six strings to this world
Johnny says he keeps them always
One turn out of tune
Johnny never listens to the kids that say
Johnny X ain't never done
The right thing anyway
Johnny wears his leather like
A crown of thorns
Johnny spends alot of time wishing
He was never born
Johnny wait's at Journal Square
And tells himself again
Johnny you're the patron saint of
Spittin' in the wind
Johnny's got all the right scars but
He'll never learn from them
Johnny's past is his guide but he
Can't remember where he's been
Johnny looks up through the steam
Of his caffine and says
"Life a train I barely caught just to
Find out I ain't got the fare"
I got my records of The King to keep me
The red red wine in the air is drifting
Four chords and the spite to use them
And just enough wisdom to ignore the truth
Six strings to this world
Johnny says he keeps them always
One turn out of tune
Johnny never listens to the kids that say
Johnny X ain't never done
The right thing anyway
Johnny wears his leather like
A crown of thorns
Johnny spends alot of time wishing
He was never born
Johnny wait's at Journal Square
And tells himself again
Johnny you're the patron saint of
Spittin' in the wind
Johnny's got all the right scars but
He'll never learn from them
Johnny's past is his guide but he
Can't remember where he's been
Johnny looks up through the steam
Of his caffine and says
"Life a train I barely caught just to
Find out I ain't got the fare"
I got my records of The King to keep me
The red red wine in the air is drifting
Four chords and the spite to use them
And just enough wisdom to ignore the truth
