"Johnny Volume" lyrics - ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO

ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO
"Johnny Volume"
(Peter Buck / Alejandro Escovedo / Scott McCaughey)

I'm feeling so much better
It's time to make amends
You see me on the corner
I'm waiting on a friend
If being straight is boredom
And heroin's a curse
Strung out or too high to play
Don't know which is worse

[Chorus:]
I'm going down to max's
Fender twin on ten
I'm going back to Jackson Heights
Start all over again

Some people think I'm ugly
Some people think I'm dead
But I'm pretty as a picture
That's what sable said
So pass me the white rain
I gotta fix my hair
I'm gonna get it right
Not going anywhere

[Chorus:]
I'm going down to max's
Fender twin on stun
I'm back to Mercer Street
Before they make me run

[Bridge:]
Hanging out on Coney Island
Need to take a ride
Gotta get the band together
I'm so alone inside

[Chorus:]
I'm going down to max's
Fender twin on ten
I'm going back to St. Marks place
Start all over again
I'm going back to St. Marks place
Start all over again

[Outro:]
I'm looking for a kiss
I'm just looking for a kiss
Yeah I'm looking for a kiss
I'm just looking for a kiss
Hey!
