Too many times I've seen your kind

Washed upon the shore

Too many times you locked me out

Johnny knockin, knocking at your door



You're looking past the mirror

Yes you've reached the other side

You're striving for the pinnacle

But you're holding on too tight



And when you hold the ticket

For your one way ride

You wonder where you're going

And you can't hide



Too bad, too bad, too bad, too bad, johnny

What you gonna do

Too bad, too bad, too bad, too bad, johnny

Now your time is through



So many highs and lows right now

What are we to do

You know we're trying so damn hard

Johnny just to try and talk to you



You're swimming in an ocean

It's so black and cold

I feel you got the notion

And it's eating at your soul



And when you hold the ticket

For your one way ride

You wonder where you're going

And you can't hide



Too bad, too bad, too bad, too bad, johnny

What you gonna do

Too bad, too bad, too bad, too bad, johnny

Now your time is through



She said, she knew the answer

He was falling - a falling faster

Round and round and round - no where to go

Someone had to help the boy

He said no, no, no, no, no, no, no!



So many mixed emotions

And they're driving you insane

A grip on some reality

Silence quiet on your window pain



You're looking past the mirror

Yes you've reached the other side

You're striving for the pinnacle

But you're holding on too tight
