Lost Johnny Lost
Long hair burying the breeze
A brick dust percolating wheeze
A tailor razor up on your face
The mercy of your eye, like a baseball base
Don’t take on all the weight of this

A lady’s question pistol in your eyes
The quiver in the corner magnified
Captain sinking down on his ship
A toast with the devil takes the first sip
Don’t take on all the weight of this

Just think about the playground back when you was just a kid
When everyone was clappin’ at the mighty things you did
Now lost Johnny lost, don’t ya be lost anymore
Just step right up, step right up, and take a good cut at what ya done come here for

Backyard curse upon your bond
Boston quarter lost in a pond
Babies in flags all the way up there
The dying men and women with their hands in prayer
Don’t take on all the weight of this
Johnny let the leather coin purse be
Time before and after you’re free
Johnny can’t twist a hundred years
Everything was like this long before you made it here

Just think about the playground back when you was just a kid
When everyone was clappin’ at the mighty things you did
Now lost Johnny lost, don’t ya be lost anymore
Just step right up, step right up, and take a good cut at what ya done come here for
