Lyrics:

I lay all my songs at Johnny Mathis' feetI said, 'Johnny tell meCan you tell me how to live?All my hopes are unraveling and I just lost my leaseOn my house without love, doors, or windowsWithout peace.'And with a wave of his jewel-encrusted handAcross the glittering Las Vegas scene he said,'You gotta learn how to disappear in the silk and amphetamine.'Johnny looked at my songs and he said,'Well at first guess, never in my lifeHave I ever seen such a mess.Why do you say everything as if you were a thief?Like what you've stolen has no valueLike what you preach is far from belief?'And with a wave of his red white and blue handAcross the glittering Hollywood scene he said,'You gotta learn how to disappear in the silk and amphetamine.'Johnny looked at my old collection of punk rock postersAnonymous scenes of disaffection choas and tortureAnd he said, 'You were on the right trackBut you're a lamb jumping for the knife.'He said, 'A real showman knows how to disappear in the spotlight.'
