johnny was her jesus (unsung song)

breathing in the salt

mixed with morning sun & sky
that clashed with city streets
slowly waking from the night
that begged to hide away
with the gods of rock & roll
who were crucified at 3 am
just before they saved her soul

johnny was her jesus
she wanted him inside
her secret lover friend
whos words kept her alive
johnny died and left his dreams
bout 30 years ago
but his music resurects her
as neighbors pray for her soul
johnny was her jesus
his words let her know
that even lost, living is alive...

waves carresed her ankles
as she ignored the syringe
for worn down colored glass
that defied the mess she's in
held it to the sun
to shine the sea on the streets
and baptize all the lost
for the gods she'd never meet

johnny was her jesus
she wanted him inside
her secret lover friend
whos words kept her alive
johnny died and left his dreams
bout 30 years ago
but his music resurects her
as neighbors pray for her soul
johnny was her jesus
his words let her know
that even lost, living is alive...

she cried,
"come alive
come alive my friend
one day all is lost
one day you'll rise again."

she cried,
"i don't need
my johnny jesus anymore.
just wanna hold you tight
and end your inner war"

Johnny was her jesus
now she's letting go
of her secret lover friend
who's words saved her soul
johnny died and left his dreams
when she was twenty one
johnny was her jesus
now there's there's solace in his son
who even lost, helps her come alive

her and johnny jesus' son
are goin on a ride
her and Johnny Jesus' son
will someday soon say goodbye
and even though they're lost...
living is alive
