Roll The Credits, Johnny

Roll the credits Johnny

You up there in the projection booth

Our dream time is over

Time to put our shoes on and hit the street

But wasn't it beautiful

Didn't we forget about the sad times for a while

The good guys won

The bad guys tasted bitterness and defeat

We kissed the leading ladies

Felt the warmth of their deep caress

Drank with kings and prophets

We rode rocket ships to the stars

But it's dark now on the streets of life

Christ I think I lost my pocket knife in there

God damn it Johnny I can't even remember

Where in hell we parked the car

But singing keeps the fear away

And whistling keeps the wolves at bay

Remember all we might have been

All the love that could have been

Let's storm the old ramparts

Let's sing the love songs

From old movies in our hearts

The way she held her hair back with her hands

Christ I wish I was her leading man

She knows more than you'll ever know

Talks to birds and animals

Why won't she talk to me

Wish she could just step down off the screen

That little blonde in tight black jeans

Christ I'm losing my mind now Johnny

Crows are laughing at us up in the trees

But singing keeps the fear away

And whistling keeps the wolves at bay

Remember all we might have been

All the love that could have been

Let's storm the old ramparts

Let's sing those love songs

From old movies in our hearts

Let's sing old love songs

From the movies in our hearts

Roll the credits Johnny

Hey roll the credits Johnny
