I remember Johnny - hey!nJohnny come latelynI remember her shoes like a ballerinanA girl called Johnny whonnChanged her name when shenDiscovered her choice was tonChange or to be changednI remember a girl called JohnnynnBlack as hell and white as a ghostnDon't talk about life or deathnShe said I've had enough of bothnA girl called Johnny who was not scarednnThey'd have torn her to pieces butnWho would dare?nI remember a girl called JohnnynThe train came to town, boy she got on itnnWith no looking back, with not a wordnIf she said goodbye, well I never heardnBut the noise goes onnThe noise, the jazznnAnd the truth is in somebody else's handsnAnd the house that a girl called johnny builtnIs now just ashes and sand
