lirik lagu divine comedy – johnny mathis’ feet
i laid all my songs at johnny mathis’ feet
i said “johnny, johnny tell me, won’t you tell me how to live?
all my hopes are unravelling and i just lost my lease
on a house without love, doors or windows –
without peace…”
and with a wave of his jewel-encrusted hand
across a glittering las vegas scene,
he said: “you’ve got to learn how to disappear
in the silk and amphetamines.”
johnny looked at my songs, and he said:
“well, at first guess,
never in my life have i ever seen such a mess;
why do you say everything as if you were a thief?
like what you stole has no value,
and like what you preach is far from belief?”
and with a wave of his red, and blue hand
across a glittering hollywood scene,
he said: “you’ve got to learn how to disappear
in the silk and amphetamines.”
johnny looked at my collection of old punk rock posters –
anonymous scenes of disaffection, chaos and torture –
and he said: “you are on the right track,
but you are a lamb jumping for the knife;
a real showman knows how to disappear in the spotlight…”
