Jonny, rang to tell you we killed all your sheep, just goes to show you that there're promises we keep And Johnny, we left you by the docks: it's been a week; we've been saying you're running out of luck
And I'd watch your eyes for signs of pride And I'd watch your eyes as you watched mine We're going blind
So weary, we lost where we began teaching you where you can go and where shouldn't run Show up, our final meeting place, for the accused and the guilty, their secret embrace
Johnny, pay up it's finally come A threat, a plea, a broken gun, a slip, a fall, and finally somewhere where you belong to someone from a group of thieves Become the nature of the crime For one bad move disguises truth from him, his lies; him
And I'd watch your eyes, for signs of life And I'd watch your eyes, as you watched mine, I'm going slowly blind
