The Killers - Uncle Johnny

Uncle Johnny
Album: Sam's Town

When everybody else refrained, my Uncle Jonny did cocaine.
Hes convinced himself right in his brain that it helps to take away the pain.
Hey, Jonny. Hey what you say, Jonny?

I want to go out tonight.
Cut me a little closer to the city lights.
Levitation aint your only friend.
Levitation coming back again.
You feel a burning in your body core.
Its a yearning that you cant ignore.
And I want to go out tonight.
S-s-s-superman and hold on tight.
But he's convinced himself right in his brain
D C# B
that it helps to take away the pain.

Hey Jonny. Hey what you say Jonny?

My appetite aint got no heart.
I said my appetite aint got no heart.
Shocking people when you feel that pull.
Shock and drop em when you know its full.
I feel a burning in my body core.
Its a yearning that you cant ignore.
Now I got to go out tonight.
Hey, Jonny, I got faith in you man.
I mean it, its gonna be all alright.
Hes convinced himself right in his brain
D C# B
that it helps to take away the pain.

Hey Jonny. Hey, what you say Jonny?
D C# B
Tell us whats going on.

Seems like everythings wrong.

Hey, what you say Jonny?
D C# B A G
And if the future is real, Jonny, you've got to heal.

Hey, what you say Jonny?
