Every morning
Now I pray
The phantom pains
Not to come again
A million tears
To slip away
And take the vessel
Of my blame
We have got to brave the storm
The people who do us harm
I will never walk alone
The pavement of this bitter town
Us forever breaking hearts
Breaking rules and making fools
Forever having have to hold
The key that takes me to your soul
Always feel the loner
On the outside looking in
Always fall the victim
Of the seven deadly sins
Saviour, Sinner, Dreamer, Fool
They howl from the balconies
I just have to laugh and say
Well this is my kind of ecstasy
Us forever breaking hearts
Breaking rules and making fools
Forever having have to hold
The key that takes me to your soul
Smiles may come and go
But how I love you when you cry
Baby you're the arrow
Through the apple of my eye
Us forever breaking hearts
Breaking rules and making fools
Forever having have to hold
The key that takes me to your soul
To your soul
Always and always
Try hard to make the world look bright today
Try hard to make my nightmares go away
Try hard to keep the fear away
The cold of day, try hard
Try hard to play the games the world would like you to play
But people, they don't really listen
Their smiles are the keys to the prison
I'll call on the angels, to hold my head softly
They'll always remember . . . Stories of Johnny
Try hard to make my anger go away
Try hard to make my money last the day (no way)
Try hard to keep away the pain
Stop the rain, try hard
Try hard to fly a thousand miles away
But people, they don't really listen
Their smiles are the keys to the prison
I'll call on the angels, to hold my head softly
They'll always remember . . . Stories of Johnny
My smoky lover . . . will close my eyes forever
Stories of Johnny
You make a fire
Here in my heart
Your kisses burn me
Sending sparks
Auras fade
Charisma pales
Your kisses burn
They scorch my soul
And world without end
Through tempest and storm
Your kisses my fire
Your love keeps me warm
When your kisses burn
Why are my lips like ice?
I'll make a fire
There in your heart
Made not of love
But only hate
And for the fuel
Will be your soul
An inferno
To consume you whole
And world without end
Through tempest and storm
My soul be your fire
To keep my heart warm
With my touch
I'll freeze your heart
Your kisses burn
The tides will turn
You brand your promise
On my tongue
I'll kill you
With this final fire
And lead you to
Your funeral pyre
And world without end
Through tempest and storm
My soul be your fire
To keep your/my heart warm
I will take your very soul
Your kisses my fire
Your love keeps me warm
Your kisses my fire
Your love keeps me warm
I will take your very soul
