Johnny Mathis’ Feet Lyrics - American Music Club

I lay all my songs at Johnny Mathis' feet 

I said, "Johnny tell me 

Can you tell me how to live? 

All my hopes are unraveling and I just lost my lease 

On my house without love, doors, or windows 

Without peace." 

And with a wave of his jewel-encrusted hand 

Across 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 life 

Have I ever seen such a mess. 

Why do you say everything as if you were a thief? 

Like what you've stolen has no value 

Like what you preach is far from belief?" 

And with a wave of his red white and blue hand 

Across the glittering Hollywood scene he said, 

"You gotta learn how to disappear in the silk and amphetamine."
