Johnny & Joel Billy Cobb

(Play that damn thing!)

Joel, the organ player, hits a long and lonely key
His lover Johnny's heart lies with both Joel and the sea
But Joel is a broken pirate, broken as can be
He longs for land and new places to see

So, jolly up the roger, lower your mast
Johnny and Joel are never gonna last
Raise a grog to troubles past and yet to come
There's a brave new world we've yet to see
We've missed the hills and missed the trees
And we're off (and we're off) to see the distant land

I've seen the look that Joel gives as Johnny tends his mast
It's a look of love and desperation just waiting to pass
He contemplates his future as he pours another glass
Johnny and Joel are never gonna last

So, jolly up the roger, lower your mast
Johnny and Joel are never gonna last
Raise a grog to troubles past and yet to come
There's a brave new world we've yet to see
We've missed the hills and missed the trees
And we're off (and we're off) to see the distant land
