Johnny Caravella

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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?

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

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

[Outro]

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...
