He lived his dreams and raised a family 
 But he could not see the way you see, all the people and the freaks 
 Were on the empty pages in his mind 
  
 2) Johnnys daddy died in the big war 
 They never found his body to this day 
 It was on that beach in Normandy, Johnny hoped he'd never see 
 His daddy washed away to an early grave 
  
 Chorus - 
 Where were you then 
 I'm on that street again 
 Wishing I could fly away forever 
  
 3) Johnnys' daughter hates her life in this goddamn town 
 She runs away forever to be free 
 But the city eats her sanity, she winds up livin' on the streets 
 Wishing she could be home by the fire 
  
 Chorus 
  
 4) Johnny died late one night in his empty bed 
 A lonley man with no one by his side 
 It was there he slipped into his dreams, with all the people and the freaks 
 right there by his side no longer alone 
  
 Chorus 2x
