They always gunned for Johnnie, but 'til now the shot was out-of-range.
But nothing lasts forever and the weather is about to change.
And if he'd seen his cornered soldier changing sides,
that setting sun on the horizon wouldn't be surprising.
Johnnie's going down.
Word's been going 'round.
Searching through this town,
there's no friends to be found.
A new king will be crowned.
Yeah, Johnnie's going down.
Pirelli had been waiting at the gate and finally saw his time.
It wasn't very long before the songbird sang and dropped the dime.
At that point, Johnnie's well of options came up dry.
And as you're probably surmising without much analyzing.
Johnnie's going down.
Word's been going 'round.
Searching through this town,
there's no friends to be found.
A new king will be crowned.
Yeah, Johnnie's going down.
Caught without an alibi (that kind of gave it all away).
Johnnie's hanging out to dry.
Johnnie's going down.
Word's been going 'round.
Searching through this town,
there's no friends to be found.
A new king will be crowned.
The wheel of fortune keeps on spinning 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round.
Yeah, Johnnie's going down.
Roger Cox played, according to the serial numbers, late 1964 Ludwigs. Pete Donnelly played, according to an interview I just looked up online, a 1964 P-Bass. Mike Frank, according to him, kcuf-ed up a lot of stuff while playing the left and right channel (unless you're listening in mono, in which case let's just say both) keyboards, but it sounds great to me (and that's why it felt like music). Matty Muir, according to my memory, played tambourine (although, according to logic, you'd think it'd be Roger). I, according to what it says here, sang and played acoustic guitar. Flicker filled the speakers with whipped cream and other delights, which is to say he played the horns (sorry Flicker, I ran out of according jokes).
