Down the street of the murderous heart Past the house of the smiling face Walked Johnny - the perfect son Oh Johnny - Johnny the good man. He just got back from corruption town His eyeballs pulsed like a Rock 'n' Roll drum There goes Johnny - Johnny the straight talking man Oh Johnny - Johnny worn and Johnny tire They say Johnny's heart burst They say he fell dead upon his face He'd had too much of tears and hate Johnny was a good man Oh Johnny He couldn't say no to too much, too late
