Johnny Johnny, Johnny fly Johnny Johnny fly away Early one Sunday morning Johnny woke with an inclination to save the world He mostly watched late night talk show fights Ate spaghetti, slept in bars, but that morning Johnny's thoughts were on the stars He drank his milk smoked a cigarette then he tore apart his TV set and car He broke down his refrigerator Washer dryer incubator and put it all together in his yard Johnny built a rocket in his backyard, thought he could fly to the moon Writing several letters to his mother he said I'll be home soon His only apprehension was the atmosphere, and did he have enough food His neighbors told him surely he would die They said Johnny can't fly away Johnny Johnny Johnny fly Johnny Johnny fly away That afternoon Johnny built his ship but he needed something to fuel it with He tried gasoline and amphetamines but they didn't give him the power he needed So he opened up a box of flavored Milk Bones The rocket engine roared with fire Johnny wanted to get higher than higher And up in the air he didn't care that he'd set fire to his hair He thought if astronauts were bald you couldn't tell Johnny built a rocket in his backyard, thought he could fly to the moon Writing several letters to his mother he said I'll be home soon His only apprehension was the atmosphere, and did he have enough food His preacher told him surely he would die He said Johnny can't fly away Johnny Johnny Johnny fly Johnny Johnny fly away And now that he's floating safe in space he thinks he's found the perfect place I'm sure And looking back he must have found, his feet would never touch the ground And if they did he'd never walk the same Time machines and childhood dreams Aren't always what you want them to be I've heard Floating deeper into space, Johnny lost the human race And found himself incognito eating powdered ice cream Johnny built a rocket in his backyard, thought he could fly to the moon Writing several letters to his mother he said I'll be home soon His only apprehension was the atmosphere, and did he have enough food His neighbors told him surely he would die They said Johnny can't fly away Johnny built a rocket in his backyard, thought he could fly to the moon Writing several letters to his mother he said I'll be home soon His only apprehension was the atmosphere, and did he have enough food His Mother told him surely he would die She said Johnny can't fly away His Preacher told him Johnny you will die And Johnny knew that surely he would die He said Johnny can't fly
