johnny is hiding in the bushes in the dirt withhis new blue shoes / scared of going home / his daddysaid he's gonna beat him so he waits until he'ssleeping / on a bed of stone
when johnny sings everything is changing colors / and the sorrows getting smaller / and it's warm around yoursoul / when johnny smiles all the angels must getjealous / coz he's got the looks of elvis / and he just makesyou feel fine
johnny often stays with mary mary isn't really caring / and has hardly time / she didn't noticejohnny's missing then one day the cops came knocking / on her wooden door
and mary's struggling on her own nothing'sright and nothing's wrong / she was far too young andfeeling left alone / when they were knockingon her door tears were falling on the floor / a little birdwas flying to another shore
