Johnny moon
Dreams in class
Answers the question before it's asked
You can see johnny but he's not here
Nobody saw johnny disappear

Mama says his mother's too easy
Letting him come and go as he pleases
Walls and windows won't do it
Lock the door
Johnny goes right through it

It's so hard to get his attention
When he's out there in another dimension
Johnny I wanna follow you outside
I wanna feel that high

It's so hard to get his attention
When he's out there in another dimension
Johnny, I wanna follow you outside
I wanna feel that high

Johnny, you, I can pretend with
You are the only one I can really bend with
For what is broken there's no fix
You fill my eyes with fire tricks
Anything you got up your sleeve
Anything you tell me, johnny, I'll believe

It's so hard to get your attention
When you're out there in another dimension
Johnny, I wanna follow you outside
I wanna feel that high

Heart

Heart, lead by Ann and Nancy Wilson, is considered a — or the — Grand Dame of hard rock and heavy metal.

Not only do they have more hit singles and AOR tracks than most other bands (songs we’d go over in detail but they’re listed on this very page in order of popularity) but in some ways deeper respect than many, both for their own groundbreaking talent and appeal and some unusual recognition thereof, including having been picked to perform Stairway to Heaven for Led Zeppelin themselves at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2012, making Robert Plant and company actually cry. Not Rush, not Aerosmith, nor any of the other bands beloved rock/metal that — along with Ann and Nancy’s band — followed Zeppelin by one generation. Just Heart.

Starting in the mid seventies, Heart forged a unique and powerful sound outstanding in their field, and was unusual in topping the charts well into their own second decade in the late eighties, becoming a staple of MTV’s rotation, albeit sometimes crammed by the industry into music videos that the bandmates despised and comment on to this day.
