"Strung Out Johnny" lyrics

"Strung Out Johnny"

Hey man, I see you
Open up, okay
Get out of here, Iggy
Come on now, fix me up

Love becomes compulsive
It's wiser to say no
God made me a junkie
But Satan told me so

You're strung out Johnny
And you can't get away
You're strung out Johnny
And now it's time to pay

First time you do it with a friend
Second time you do it in a bed
Third time you can't get enough
And a life gets all fucked up

All fucked up
You're strung out Johnny (Strung out Johnny, oh)
You're strung out Johnny (Strung out Johnny, oh)

Promise said to Donnie
Sell that boy his spoon
Dump him like a hero
Or be forgotten soon

I'm strung out mommy
And I can't get away
I'm strung out mommy
And now it's time to pay

First time you do it with a friend
Second time you do it in a bed
Third time you can't get enough
And a life gets all fucked up

All fucked up
You're strung out Johnny

You're strung out Johnny (Strung out Johnny, oh)
And you can't get away
You're strung out Johnny (Strung out Johnny, oh)
And now it's time to pay
You're strung out Johnny (Strung out Johnny, oh)
Nobody loves you so
You're strung out Johnny (Strung out Johnny, oh)
And that's the way it goes
I'm strung out mommy (Strung out Johnny, oh)
I'm strung out mommy (Strung out Johnny, oh)
You're strung out Johnny
