Little Johnny Jewel Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My little Johnny Jewel
Oh, he's so cool
He had no decision
He's just trying to tell a vision
Well, some thought it was sad
And others thought it was mad
They're just scratching the surface
JJ on to the other kids

Was he on display?
Oh-oh no, no, no, not today
And all that guy ever said
He said "I want my little wing-head"
He'd be half-asleep at night
Over his head, sensation of flight
He'd wake up dreaming
Dreaming

[Verse 2]
And he'd run down to the airport
The rush, the roar
And he'd crouch down behind the fence
With a chest full of lights
And then he'd lose his senses
He'd lose his senses
He'd lose his senses
[Verse 3]
My little Johnny Jewel
Oh he's so cool
But if you see him looking lost
You ain't gonna come on so fast
Ah, but you know that he's paid
You know that he's paid the price
All you gotta do for that guy
Is wink your eye

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
