Divine Comedy - Johnny Mathis' Feet Lyrics
I laid all my songs at johnny mathis' feetI said "johnny, johnny tell me, won't you tell me how to live?All my hopes are unravelling and i just lost my leaseOn a house without love, doors or windows¡ºWithout peace..."And with a wave of his jewel-encrusted handAcross a glittering las vegas scene,He said: "you've got to learn how to disappearIn the silk and amphetamines."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 stole has no value,And like what you preach is far from belief?"And with a wave of his red, white and blue handAcross a glittering hollywood scene,He said: "you've got to learn how to disappearIn the silk and amphetamines."Johnny looked at my collection of old punk rock posters¡ºAnonymous scenes of disaffection, chaos and torture¡ºAnd he said: "you are on the right track,But you are a lamb jumping for the knife;A real showman knows how to disappear in the spotlight..."
