Bon Jovi - Levon lyrics

Levon wears his war wound like a crown

He calls his child Jesus

Because he likes the name

And he sends him to the finest school in town

Levon, Levon likes his money

He makes a lot they say

Spends his days counting

In his garage by the motorway

He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas Day

When the New York Times said

God is dead and the war's begun

Alvin Tostig has a son today

And he shall be Levon

And he shall be a good man

Yes, he shall be Levon

With tradition and a family plan

And he shall be Levon

And he shall be a good man

He shall be Levon

Levon sells cartoon balloons in town

His family business thrives

Jesus blows up balloons all day

He sits on the porch swing watching them fly

And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus

Leave Levon far behind

Take a balloon and go sailing

While Levon, oh, Levon slowly dies

He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas Day

When the New York Times said God is dead

And the war's begun

Alvin Tostig had a son today

And he shall be Levon

And he shall be a good man

And he shall be Levon

With tradition and a family plan

And he shall be Levon

And he shall be a good man

He shall be Levon

And he shall be

And he shall be a good man

And he shall be Levon

In tradition and a family plan

And he shall be Levon

And he shall be a good man

And he shall be Levon
