lyrics

I’m coming for you, Johnny. Johnny
I have a longing for you. Johnny
I need to be with you and
you need to be with me and
we will be one together. Johnny, we will be happy. Johnny

You once were independent. Johnny
Your future predetermined. Johnny
But you have learned that you need,
that even chrome machines bleed,
that being full is empty. Johnny, empty. Johnny. Johnny


No one foresaw that you would alter your plan.
But what we know is just a grain of sand.
Yes, it’s the unknown I’m attracted to.
You could say I was born to love you.


So, we will wander, Johnny. Johnny
And we will wonder, Johnny. Johnny
And we will love each other,
and we’ll be one together,
and we will live forever. Johnny, you and me. We will love.

And we will love each other. We’ll be one.
And we’ll be one together. We will live.
And we will live forever. Johnny, you and me. Johnny
Johnny
Johnny
Johnny
