Jr. Johnny’s “Mood Swing Blues”
(Select to hear a sound bite)

Ya, gotta get rid of
These thousand lives.
Got to get rid of
This woman’s jive…
She’s so dizzy from in
Her whirlpool,
Oh, Hi!, thinks she cool…
I need a new brain,
Ready for the dawn,
Match box in hand,
Call me gone…
Ya, she used to be
My sweet-thing,
All I got left is
Her mood swing….
Ya, I got the mood swing blues.

The time has come
For her to care,
She has no time to
Sit and stare…
In this smoky room,
With laughter she’ll appear,
That phony smile with no fear….
Her fantasy in a closet,
She never goes there,
Always on the move
Never goes nowhere….

Like the smell of flowers,
In the month of June,
Here hair is lifting.
Wow, it’s a full moon….
I need a new brain,
Match box in hand,
Call me gone…
Ya, she used to be
My sweet-thing,
All I got left is
Her mood swing….
Ya, I got the mood swing blues.
