Lyrics

[00:00.000] Remember one Christmas, I gave you Jim Carroll
[00:05.218] Intended it as a cautionary tale
[00:10.158] You said you saw yourself inside there
[00:15.415] Dog-eared it like a how-to manual
[00:20.832] Remember one summer, we walked in Times Square
[00:25.938] I showed you the zombies with hundred-inch stares
[00:30.928] You took a Bic, set your hotel on fire
[00:35.998] We took the blame, took the bags to the train
[00:40.465] Happy Birthday, Johnny
[00:44.905] Wherever you are
[00:50.576] Happy Birthday, Johnny
[00:55.117] Wherever you are
[01:01.388] The last time you called it was on New Years' Eve
[01:06.302] You asked me for dough to get something to eat
[01:11.181] Since we last spoke, you live on the street
[01:15.524] Yeah, I wouldn't believe all the **** that you've seen
[01:20.451] Happy New Year, Johnny
[01:24.648] Is it 23?
[01:30.139] Happy New Year, Johnny
[01:34.007] Are there lights on the trees?
[02:17.272] When I said, “Let me think,” and you yelled through your teeth
[02:22.296] Accused me of acting like all royalty
[02:27.473] Always for show, no true charity
[02:32.055] You saw me on magazines and TV
[02:37.228] But if they only knew the real version of me
[02:42.072] Only you know the secrets, the swamp and the fear
[02:46.845] What happened to blood? Our family?
[02:52.096] Annie, how could you do this to me?
[03:00.796] Of course, I blame me
[03:06.540] When you get free, Johnny
[03:11.007] I hope you find peace
[03:13.575]
