[Verse 1]
Joey, Joey
You have never let anyone down
I am sorry that
This is happening to you
Oh, what is the point of this collapse?
You are not crying
I know you are only sweating, too
[Chorus]
Joey's song

As long as you know I am waiting
Passing out in the joy
Of Joey's song

Embrace the boy
You are my brother
Snow will cover your path, too

Now it is the end
I am your brother
The snow will cover my path, too
[Chorus]
Joey's song
In everything
Bitterness and jealousy
As long as you know I am waiting
Fever crams the skin
Of Joey's song
As long as you know I am waiting
If you're into the joy
Of Joey's song
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Joey's song
Affectionately
In bitterness and jealousy
As long as you know I am waiting
Fever crams the skin
Of Joey's song
As long as you know I am waiting
Learning to feel the joy
