Joe Jackson - Blaze of Glory

Verse 1

Johnny was a young boy with nothing much

But a certain kind of look in his eyes

He was discovered one day seems he had

a certain appeal to certain kind of guys

Gave him some advice and set him out

To make the young girls cry

And all the young boys being dumb and restless

They could identify

Prechorus

So tell me who'll take the blame

For the way things turned out

Verse 2

same pattern as 1st

Well six long months passed and Johnny

was the hottest thing alive

We loved Johnny and we owned Johnny

Nobody knew how Johnny felt inside

But Johnny was beautiful he was like a God

We all went along for the ride

The ride started to go too fast

Johnny just conviently died

Prechorus 2

same as 1st)

And he went up in flames

He did what he had to do

Chorus

And they say its a trag-ic story

He just wasn't there one day

But he went out in a blaze of glory

And you and I, you and I just fade away

Verse 3

same as other two

Well now days there's lots of guys like Johnny

They got it all worked out, like working nine to five

But they're all cartoons, they all think they're superman

But they can't even fly

They say that Johnny's ghost walks down in Memphis

Wehn the moon is full and high

And I wonder if he sees these jokers

I wonder if he laughs or if he cries

Prechorus

same

Now he's an angel in flames

but what about you and me.

Chorus twice
