I've destroyed another love
Have to stamp out every good that touches me
In and out of my heart
Crawls the ugly worm of jealousy
Born from insecurity
Never meant to drive you away
I, guilty of all crimes
Saw myself in another light today
I who never
I who never
Outside in the sun hazed street
Is an empty parade of sinking hearts
Will I see your ragged head
Among those in search of one fast kiss
My searching heart joins those
Goes out to take your hand
You were once a part of this
My searching heart joins those
Goes out to take your hand
You were once a part of this
I who never
I who never
Sat sad by silent phone
Changed my number forgot to tell the world
Get drunk get dead and gone
You were such a special one to me
How can I with so much
Really have nothing at all
How can I with so much
Really have nothing at all
I who never
I who never
Desperate, irrational
Just another face another window
I would prowl the city streets
Searching for your signs
Fuelled by sweeter times
This could even make me pray
I who never ever ever prays
This could even make me pray
I who never ever ever prays
I who never
I who never
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
