Johnny Come Outside Lyrics


Born in the summer
Handsome and tall
Golden child seemed to have it allBut he was never happy
Never sad
Teacher said it's just a phase and he'll grow out of itOlder 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 meSeroxat, 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Necessity is the mother of invention. Less is more. Make it work with what you've got. 2 Guitars, a junkyard drum kit (harvested from an actual garbage heap- adorned with tamborines, flowers and kitchen rags), a handful of harmonicas, voices, and above all.. songs. Cary Ann Hearst & Michael Trent prefer to keep it simple. They have cleverly managed to take 3 separate recording projects and combine them into 1 cohesive, folk rock, sloppy tonk, harmonized, loose but tight, streamlined audience killing machine.
