lyrics

Johnny

When Johnny walks by
I always try to be asleep
Lying in my bed silently
I hope that he'll forget about me today
Last time we met he hated me

When Johnny walks by
The walls become thinner
The sounds much too loud for me
I don't wanna know
I wanna be deaf
I feel every blow, does she?

How to explain to a thin little boy, there's no money for a birthday toy
When Johnny starts oozing it's time for the bruising
He doesn't even drop by for free

Sometimes I have a dream
I watch myself in a movie, playing the thief
Then the beating's okay
The bad boy takes the blame
When I wake up there's some relief

When Johnny walks by
And things change so quickly
It surprises me every day
I can't understand why it’s all happening
I just want to make it go away

How to explain to a thin little boy there's no money for a birthday toy
When Johnny starts oozing it's time for the bruising
He doesn't even drop by for free
