lyrics
Becky’s got a crush on Johnny
ahhh
Johnny’s got his eye on Becky
ahhh
But will Becky’s dad approve
of Johnny’s new tattoo
Johnny’s got a ring for Becky
ahhh
Becky’s smile says yes to Johnny
ahhh
and now no one’s in their way
on the city steps today
Now we’re looking at the
new american gothic
ahhh
Love so sweet I think I
hear I the angels sing
ahhh
Love between the misfits and the preachers daughters
Love between the universe and me
Johnny’s working hard for Becky
ahhhh
Becky swears it’s hard but worth it
ahhh
and Becky’s got good news
cause they’ll soon be 1 plus 2
Becky’s dad’s a grandpa now
ahhhh
Little Johnny makes him smile
ahhh
Becky sheds a tear
for all the wasted years
Now we’re looking at the
new american gothic
ahhh
Love so sweet I think I
hear I the angels sing
ahhh
Love between the misfits and the preachers daughters
Love between the universe and me
Johnny's holds her hand
For this portrait where they stand
Now Johnny’s needing reading glasses
ahhhh
and Becky’s joints are not so perfect
ahhh
But Johnny's love endures
Even after all these years
Now we’re looking at the
new american gothic
ahhh
Love so sweet I think I
hear I the angels sing
ahhh
Love between the misfits and the preachers daughters
Love between the universe and me

Nick Piunti's third album confirms the idiosyncratic talent of this musician who keeps churning out fantastic power-pop tunes that would rejoice even the most jaded pop-rock fan, whether young or old, if they knew about the existence of 'Beyond the Static'. POPPHIL
