 Joe Jackson - Blaze of Glory
 Johnny was a young boy with nothing much
 But a certain kind of look  in his eyes
He  was discovered one day seems  he had
 a certain appeal  to certain  kind of guys
Gave  him some advice and  set him out
 To make the young  girls cry
And  all the young boys being  dumb and restless
 They could  identify
So  tell me who'll take the blame
 For the way things turned out
 same pattern as 1st
 Well six long months passed and Johnny
 was the hottest thing alive
 We loved Johnny and we owned Johnny
 Nobody knew how Johnny felt inside
 But Johnny was beautiful he was like a God
 We all went along for the ride
 The ride started to go too fast
 Johnny just conviently died
 same as 1st)
 And he went up in flames
 He did what he had to do
And  they say  its a trag-ic story
 He just wasn't  there one day
 But he went out  in a blaze of glory
And  you and I, you  and I just fade away
 same as other two
 Well now days there's lots of guys like Johnny
 They got it all worked out, like working nine to five
 But they're all cartoons, they all think they're superman
 But they can't even fly
 They say that Johnny's ghost walks down in Memphis
 Wehn the moon is full and high
 And I wonder if he sees these jokers
 I wonder if he laughs or if he cries
 same
 Now he's an angel in flames
 but what about you and me.

Now he's an angel in flames
but what about you and me.
