[Intro] [clean electric guitar riff, syncopated bass, steady kick drum] [Verse 1] [baritone male vocals] Johnny caught a wave And went on a bender Staring in the mirror Hoping she stays slender Looking at the plastic Wondering about the gender Trading in the fast life For a slow surrender [Pre-Chorus] [synth pads enter] Radio's playing on a Saturday When will it be blue Or red or grey Will it be straight Or black or gay Toss the keys on the table It'll be okay [Chorus] [full band enters, handclaps on backbeat] Is Johnny gonna pack it up Or is he gonna stay Yeah is he gonna stay [Verse 2] [drums and bass drop to a simpler pattern] Johnny walks in Lets the screen door slam Coughs his cigarette Resting in his hand Sees the plastic on the sink Doesn't say a word Just pours a cup of coffee Like nothing occurred Smiles a little bit And shakes his head Says I guess we're gonna need A little extra bed [Chorus] [full band, driving rhythm] So let it be blue Or red or grey Let it be straight Or black or gay Toss the keys on the table It'll be okay Yeah Johnny's gonna stay [Bridge] [guitar solo with light overdrive] No more decorations No Hollywood scene Just two kids caught Somewhere in between She drinks the rest of the whiskey Out in the yard Times are slowing down Ain't really that hard [Chorus] [full energy, synth swells] Let it be blue Or red or grey Let it be straight Or black or gay Toss the keys on the table It'll be okay Yeah Johnny's gonna stay Johnny's gonna stay Yes he's gonna stay
