Johnny Come Outside

SHOVELS & ROPE · Little Seeds 2016 · Track 08 of 12

Written by Cary Ann Hearst, Michael Trent

Born in the summer Handsome and tall Golden child seemed to have it all

But he was never happy Never sad Teacher said it's just a phase and he'll grow out of it

Older now Saw the sign Looking for that magnetic, outgoing, shine a light kind One day The world just slipped Hush little baby on a sinking ship

Oh, Johnny won't you come outside Don't you know it's not polite to hide Oh, Johnny won't you come outside please Oh, Johnny won't you come outside Don't you know it's not polite to hide Oh, Johnny won't you come outside for me

Seroxat, amphetamine Doctor says to stimulate the dopamine Electro-shock therapy We'll have a well-adjusted member of society, you'll see

But he dreams the meadows and the quiet places On a motorcycle riding thru the Willamina timber A warm breeze, a soft trip Mother's little helper and a morphine drip
