The sun shines on the living
|
The sun shines on the dead
|
The sun shines on you and me
|
Wherever we lay our heads
|
|
The sun shines on the evil
|
The sun shines on the good
|
It doesn't favour righteousness
|
Although you wish it would
|
|
Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny
|
Are you still awake?
|
Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny
|
I'm terribly scared
|
|
And now I need an oasis
|
A place to hide from the day
|
I'd like a little dark tiny room
|
Where the music plays
|
|
Maybe you just lost somebody
|
Maybe your whole world has changed
|
The sun don't really care about that
|
It shines on anyway
|
|
Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny
|
Are you still awake?
|
Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny
|
I'm terribly scared
|
|
I'm going back in the box
|
Back in the box
|
Back in the box again
|
Back in the box
|
Back in the box
|
Back in the box again
|
|
And now love's terrifying
|
But I cannot hide what I want
|
You cannot hear me or see me now
|
Because I've gone back in the box
|
|
If I don't make no decisions
|
Then I won't make no mistakes
|
But through all those tiny holes
|
Well the light's still getting in
|
|
I'm going back in the box
|
Back in the box
|
Back in the box again
|
I'm going back in the box
|
Back in the box
|
Back in the box again...
|
