The Killers - Uncle Jonny lyrics

When everybody else refrained

My uncle Johnny did cocaine

He's convinced himself right in his brain

That it helps to take away the pain

Hey, Johnny

Hey what you say Johnny

I wanna go out tonight

Come a little closer to the city lights

Levitation aint your only friend

Levitation coming back again

Feel a burning in your body's core

It's a yearning that you cant ignore

Now I wanna go out tonight

S-s-superman and hold on tight

He's convinced himself right in his brain

That it helps to take away the pain

Hey, Johnny

Hey what you say Johnny

My appetite aint got no heart

I said my appetite aint got no heart

Shocking people when you feel that pull

Shock 'em, drop 'em when you know its full

I feel a burning in your body's core

It's a yearning that you cant ignore

I gotta go out tonight

[spoken] Hey Johnny I got faith in you man

I mean it, it's gonna be all right

He's convinced himself right in his brain

That it helps to take away the pain

Hey what you say Johnny

Tell us what's going on

Feel's like everything's wrong

Hey what you say Johnny

If the future is real

Johnny, you've got to heal

Hey what you say Johnny

When everybody else refrained

My uncle Johnny did cocaine
