Johny Yen lyrics

Johnny Yen
Ladies and gentlemen, here’s my disease
Give me a standing ovation and your sympathy
Poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again
See the gene-genie on his high-wire act
At the back of his mind lies a suicide pact
Poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again

See the young men itching to burn
Waiting for their own star turn
Needing danger, a war would do
If they can’t let it out, they’ll pick on you
Poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again
Poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again

Watch Knievel hit the 17th bus
You got crushed in the souvenir rush
See Houdini and his underwater tricks
You were sitting at the front hoping his locks would stick
Poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again

I read that poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again
See the young men itching to burn
Waiting for their own star turn
Needing danger, a war would do
If they can’t let it out, they’ll pick on you
Poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again
On fire again
I read poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again

Ladies and gentlemen, here’s my disease
Give me a standing ovation and your sympathy

Come on, somebody, finish the poor young fool off will you
We’ve seen enough of these tortured artists
Where do they get them all from?
Come on somebody, not another of these funky, self-destructive fools
You’d put a dog out of its misery if he broke its leg
So come on will you, finish him off please boys
Put him out of his misery
Let’s have the next one

Next!
