"Maybe she's drunk again and is dressed that way on purpose ... who knows? She's smart as hell and holding onto Johnny -- her bad boy -- her rock'n'roll boy -- and she's gonna point him in the direction she wants him to go. It's humid like Nashville is and maybe she's at the pool with that vacancy in her eyes? Everybody's trying to find their way up to cool ... and she'll talk to you in a throw-away style ... like she might think about you for a second ... until the madness gets her. It's deep into july and the smell of the grass is choking me off ... smothering ... so we go to that outdoor patio cafe and watch her and Johnny weaving a web through the music and the stories ... He's getting older and no wiser. and There's another drink and it's Mad July! ... I'm there with my friends and I love 'em to death and we talk about nothing into the dark, into the dream on that stone patio and I could cry ... I feel so wrong and it's only Mad July ... and here's to friends and pretty girls ..."
Mad July - From the Mad July EPListen To Mad July
The world is made for pretty girls
Rock’n’roll boys on heroine
Strung out just like pearls
He broke your heart, so you inked up your skin
Now you got a thousand little scars
Just to remind you of him
And I need you everyday
And I need you all the way
Chorus:
‘Cuz it’s mad July
Sittin’ half naked in a bistro
I love the lines around your eyes
Holdin’ onto Johnny as he lets go
As he lets go.
Lie on your back, look up at the sky
Momma’s little baby’s got a bathing suit on
And a vacancy in her eyes
Bought every drug, stole every thrill
Every sensation and a mystic revelation rolled up into one pill……….
Chorus
She gets a job, runs off to school
Everybody’s dyin’, everybody’s tryin’ to find their way up to cool…….
Now she’s 18, superstar stage
Preachin’ her song, singing her book
To everybody under age.
Chorus 2x
Mad July echo out.
