Johnny was a pretty boy
Johnny played with pretty toys
Tucked away in the rafters
Of his aristocracy
Johnny won the big awards
There ain′t nothing Johnny can't afford
Johnny garnered political support
For his narrow ideologies
So he could fly they built him wings
And for a while that′s what it seemed
He pressed himself upon the clouds
But there's no way he's getting out
The feeling that he can′t deny
No matter how old Johnny tried
His fame would never reach the end
The universe as it extends
Try again Johnny my friend
Johnny my friend
Johnny gathered all his fame
All around they knew his name
Johnny was a household face
All around the human race
Johnny thought that he could fly
Right across the clear blue sky
Then He thought when I am through
How will all the people know what′s true
He built a tower up to the sky
So man would know him after he died
He pressed himself upon the clouds
But there's no way he′s getting out
The feeling that he can't deny
No matter how old Johnny tried
His fame would never reach the end
The universe as it extends
Try again Johnny my friend
Johnny my friend
