Johnny Mainstream - Team Electric Lyrics
Part i: el gatoI never really had the youth that kids in old rock songs all doI never was the gunslinger or had no muscle carJust a tape player, pause+record the radioAnd a no name electric guitarAutumn: i went driving spinning tires on the roadI always kind of knew i'd die aloneWinter: was no different, don't know why i thought it'd beIt was too damn cold and i just wanted to sleepIn all the songs and books i've read, in friends who drank themselves to deathTrying to be someone worth telling tales aboutI will not lay down, become another hopeless caseOr some ghost that keeps hanging aroundSpring: we were on fire, i never felt so freeThe words just flowed and they came so naturallySummer: i got tired, i don't know what you want from meIt's not the end that sucks, just when you have to wait(wait till the weight of the world brings you downDown, down, down to the ground)Part ii: andrea doriaOh darling, i miss you soYou've been away about a year by nowI hope you're well because i've been depressed as hellAnd i don't think i'll get used to getting oldOh darling, i'll see you soonWe've got a show in the city next weekAnother bar, i see you swing low like a starPouring your light down on mePart iii: felo de seWell what can you say, you promised that you wouldn't changeBut you caved all the same for the chance on the stage and the fameAnd what can you do, it's another sold out showAnd you hate all the songs, but the kids sing along and love youBut you're still aloneHow's your life in the border lands?How's the outside looking in?Your yellow brick road has brought you nothing but goldAnd that distance between you and all your friendsPart iv: trompe l'?œ?ilHoney say hello to the kids, tell them daddy's on his wayHe'll be home by next mayEvery night i meet the best friends of my lifeAnd every day by dawn they're goneSome will say it's just the toll i've gotta payBut that don't help me sleep at night
