lyrics

i don't care what the doctor says
i'm gonna smoke my cigarettes
i'm gonna hang around a while too
the east side tavern is filled with smoke
it's 2 A.M. in an actor's role, the punch line
to some 1970's joke.
Johanna, Johanna, when you gonna turn your back on me?
when you gonna say all those things you mean?
when you gonna just come clean?
when you gonna be sweet?

the surgeon's general warned me well
but when i leave the frank lloyd wright hotel
i'll be standing on my own two feet
the blind police horse at the gate
barking the people have to wait
i was nervous, i hurrily, steadily, split the scene.
Johanna, Johanna, when you gonna turn your back on me?
when you gonna say all those things you mean?
when you gonna just come clean?
when you gonna be sweet?

O, Chicago in red
i'm better off dead in the coffin of a guru
