Where's Johnny?

Waiting for the Dufferin
God damn this August suffering
That's married to this murderous sun
Slip into the alleyway
I'm heading north, I'm gonna race
This bus from hell that hardly ever comes

Half way up that copper hill
You take a swig, you shoot to kill
You lean into the edge of no return
Cellphone's knocking on death's door
Don't buy coltan anymore
Getting schooled, getting learned
Getting fooled, getting burned

Wondering where's Johnny
I called and I called and I call
But he doesn't answer me
Now the sun's going down again
Now the sun's going down again
Sun's going down again

Park bench, dog ears, creaking limbs
Inhaling trucks and smoking slims
I'm gonna earn a voice like Lady Day
LC's past the parking lot
Behind the mall, just off Dupont
I'll buy a mickey with some pocket change

Wondering where's Johnny
I called and I called and I call
But he doesn't answer me
Now the sun's going down again
Now the sun's going down again
Sun's going down again

Last leg, staircase, turn around
South towards that awful sound
High above the hazy rage-y rush hour
My heart starts to break
As Toronto starts to shake
Godzilla's coming out the lake
And King Kong's on the tower

Wondering where's Johnny
I called and I called and I call
But he doesn't answer me
Now the sun's going down again
Now the sun's going down again
Sun's going down again

Now the sun's going down again
Now the sun's going down again
Now the sun's going down again
