Johnny Mathis¡¯ Feet lyrics

 
Song Details
Artist(s)American Music Club
Album(s)Mercury

I lay all my songs at Johnny Mathis¡¯ feet
I said, ";Johnny tell me
Can you tell me how to live?
All my hopes are unraveling and I just lost my lease
On my house without love, doors, or windows
Without peace.";
And with a wave of his jewel-encrusted hand
Across the glittering Las Vegas scene he said,
";You gotta learn how to disappear in the silk and amphetamine.";
Johnny looked at my songs and he said,
";Well at first guess, never in my life
Have I ever seen such a mess.
Why do you say everything as if you were a thief?
Like what you¡¯ve stolen has no value
Like what you preach is far from belief?";
And with a wave of his red white and blue hand
Across the glittering Hollywood scene he said,
";You gotta learn how to disappear in the silk and amphetamine.";
Johnny looked at my old collection of punk rock posters
Anonymous scenes of disaffection choas and torture
And he said, ";You were on the right track
But you¡¯re a lamb jumping for the knife.";
He said, ";A real showman knows how
to disappear in the spotlight.";
