	Jukebox Johnny Face all over town Hey look it’s me In real time but it’s ancient history Go slow lady with the searching fingers You got enough for a sleepless night Sliced her up with a rock n’ roll razorblade You hid it well in your saville row tailor made Lines to amaze Deep pocket gazes Packing the rain underneath the stars Claws in my conscience swiping the ache away How many mentions Riding the carousel until the morning bell I’ll be stayin’ up all night Playing jukebox Johnny tryin’ to get a life Hey it’s alright I can taste more honey when I twist the knife real slow Flies gather on a sob story on repeat She’s wearin’ the same victorian funeral look she wore last week Go figure out what you’re lookin’ for So many locks on a single door Time for the blazes Rip out the pages You got three minutes on the radio Claws in my conscience pissing the time away Wild moon rotations Play me another song where somethin’ ‘bout love ain’t goin’ wrong Cause I’ve been stayin’ up all night Playin’ jukebox Johnny tryin’ to get a life Hey it’s alright I can taste more honey when I twist the knife real slow I’m up all night playin’ jukebox Johnny tryin’ to get a life Hey it’s alright I can taste more, taste more honey when I twist the knife real slow Jukebox Johnny Jukebox Johnny

about

“Jukebox Johnny” is the third single from “Flying On Abraham” by Diane Birch.

Diane Birch says about the song: “Before writing this song I had been dating a fellow musician who had been working on an album during our courtship. I suppose I became very involved emotionally and energetically with his project and even ended up on his album cover. By the time he released it though we were long over, though I couldn’t help myself on his release day, sitting in bed on my phone for hours like a complete loser on a masochistic runaway train scrolling through social media in knots but also dying of curiosity to see what people thought of the album. I felt horribly embarrassed that I still cared enough to care but then thought oh c’mon who cares! Just wallow for an evening and turn it into a song.”
