Johnny get a hold of your lifeWherever I go your face is in front of meBut you won't believe it.Holding up the end of the lineThere never was a crack in the iceYou won't believe in it.You are a diamond setOn an immaculate height, set.Bury your end of the wire.Lying awake in the hours and the emptinessWant me to run from the days we are living in?You'll only get a look at your life when you're leaving it.And then the silence saysWhen you wrestle your plightWhen you lie on your back with your eyes on the firmamentYour burning mouth, your blazing eyes, c'mon.If you believe in it.It's a respectable life.The police on the beach will find nothing is innocent.Johnny get a hold of your life.Stop on the edge till the animus drains away.Or follow the loneliest roadRun in the dark til the light comes screaming inThrough the silence saysYou are alone on the iceAnd you stand on the banks to find nothing is happening.
