Work Of Art

Johnny L.


take my heart

run with it

show me what you can do

break a part

take those hits

i’ll still trail after you

if only you knew


new years call for new compromises and

new places to start

so take those pills and do the exercises and

we’ll get past this part

my work of art


never stop

show no pain

i could learn some things from you

like my own

scarred jet plane

like a bolt made out of blue

we both know it’s true


true love calls for true compromises and

new places to start

so take those pills and do the exercises and

we’ll get past this part

my work of art


here’s what we know

it’s not bad

but far from what we want to hear

one body blow

is all it takes

to realize our greatest fear

and now we spend our saturday night here


new years call for new compromises and

new places to start

so take those pills and do the exercises and

we’ll get past this part

my work of art
