I came home to my brother washing his clothes in the mud
Haven't spoke in a while, hadn't seen him in a month
But it's clear he lost some weight, and there're scratches on his face
That's my family, my big brother
That's my hero, that's my blood
All I wanted as a kid was to be him when I grew up
And it broke my heart that day
Having to see him in that way
Well, Johnny says this time he's gonna fly
As he's hanging off the edge of the casino in the sky
The doctor says his brain ain't working right
"Just make sure he takes his meds and gets some rest, he'll be alright"
Well, John is naked in the yard again
Screaming about aliens and how the moon's a spaceship that he travels in
And I'm on the phone with the cops again
Trying to breathe oxygen
Crying up to God, "What the hell's happening?"
Hey, hey, hey, hey, what the hell's happening?
Hey, hey, hey, what the hell's happening?
He came over one night, the door's locked, he slept outside
Begged John, "Please get some help, man. I can't do this by myself"
He jumped the fence, took off his coat
And threw a rock through the window
I pepper-sprayed him in the eyes
And we both cried till the cops arrived
'Cause Johnny says this time he's gonna fly
As he's hanging off the edge of the casino in the sky
The doctor says his brain ain't working right
"Just make sure he takes his meds and gets some rest, he'll be alright"
Well, John is naked in the yard again
Screaming about aliens and how the moon's a spaceship that he travels in
And I'm on the phone with the cops again
Trying to breathe oxygen
Crying up to God, "What the hell's happening?"
Hey, hey, hey, hey, now what the hell's happening?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, you know what the hell's happening
Everything will be okay, okay
Everything will be okay, okay
Everything will be okay, okay
Everything will be okay, okay
Everything will be okay, okay
Everything will be okay, okay
Everything will be okay, okay, John
