The boogie man was just a tale Still wondering if I am to blame He took your heart, kidnapped my soul My body barely escaped from the hole Different places, different faces It can only be just one mistake The cardboard in the cold embrace Until it withers in the guilt blaze Oh and there’s no more Johnny Long gone is your sweet lil honey The angel died with his mommy Not only was he short on money Oh and there’s no more Johnny Long gone is your sweet lil honey The angel died with his mommy Not only was he short on money And every night In his twilight He gets to smile As his mother graces Oh my Oh my Oh my Oh my Johnny In the chaotic and speedy life A ghost’s trapped in the sidelines Everybody sees the innocent Yet no hero heals the dissonant But he’s still put to sleep at night In the arms of a new lullaby He might wake up in paradise As another John Doe sacrifice As another John Doe sacrifice As another John Doe sacrifice As another John Doe sacrifice Oh and there’s no more Johnny Long gone is your sweet lil honey The angel died with his mommy Not only was he short on money Oh and there’s no more Johnny Long gone is your sweet lil honey The angel died with his mommy Not only was he short on money And every night In his twilight He gets to smile As his mother graces Oh my Oh my Oh my Oh my Johnny Johnny was born with love But departs as another John Doe He sighs away his hope To find oblivion his final home Oh my Johnny
