Johnny Silvers Songtext

von The Dogs D'Amour

Sister devastation was a good friend of his
She held him very long and very tight
She whispered him to sleep with the blues in the night
And he slept until the dawn dragged him into light

He used to dream he lived by the ocean so blue
And his bride was a princess from the north
He used to see the future in a potion that he drank
But the more he saw, the more he fell apart

Everybody loved Johnny Silvers
Everybody missed him when he died
Everybody loved Johnny Silvers
'cause everyone has a piece of him inside

Jesus was a junkie, he was strung out on a cross
And the devil was just a little child strummin' for a loss
They put the two together, starring in a film
And they lifted the story from the good book of doom

Everybody loved Johnny Silvers
Everybody missed him when he died
Everybody loved Johnny Silvers
'cause everyone has a piece of him inside

He drove himself past oblivion, he was shot from both sides
When they found his body his soul just cried
It said "Take me from this heaven, take me from this hell
It's a place I've lived far too long and know too well"

Everybody loved Johnny Silvers
Everybody missed him when he died
Everybody loved Johnny Silvers
'cause everyone has a piece of him inside
