Lyrics
John Doe
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He died on thorazine
Lost life and any hopes
Laid him down on a bed of steel
Downtown at the city morgue
[chorus:]
John doe...a man haunted by his past
John doe...his soul will never rest
He was raised as an orphan
Abuse victim as a child
Dreaming haunting memories
Made john doe take his own life
John doe...a man haunted by his past
John doe...realize that your dead
He who is victimized can never grasp
Never ever knowing what is love
He was a bitter man an only son
Never ever knowing what is...love...no love
Take heed to my warning
Even though i might be wrong
Fulfill life full of love
Or you'll end up just like john
John doe...a man haunted by his past
John doe...realize that your dead
