Johnnys always running around

Trying to find certainty

He needs all the world to confirm

That he aint lonely

Mary counts the walls

Knows he tires easily



Johnny thinks the world would be right

If it could buy truth from him

Mary says he changes his mind more than a woman

But she made her bed

Even when the chance was slim



Johnny says hes willing to learn

When he decides hes a fool

Johnny says hell live anywhere

When he earns to time

Mary combs her hair

Says she should be used to it

Mary always hedges her bets

She never knows what to think

She says that he still acts

Like he is being discovered

Scared that hell be caught

Without a second thought

Running around



Johnny feels hes wasting his breath

Trying to talk sense to her

Mary says hes lacking a real

Sense of proportion

So she combs her hair

Knows he tires easily



Johnnys always running around

Trying to find certainty

He needs all the world to confirm

That he aint lonely

Mary counts the walls

Says she should be used to it



Johnnys always running around

Running around
