A Girl Called Johnny

I remember Johnny, hey!

Johnny come lately

I remember her shoes like a ballerina

A girl called johnny who changed her name

When she discovered her choice

Was to change or to be changed

I remember a girl called Johnny

Black as hell and white as a ghost

Don't talk about life or death

She said I've had enough of both

A girl called johnny who was not scared

They'd have torn her to pieces, but who would dare?

I remember a girl called Johnny

The train came to town, boy, she got on it

With no looking back, with not a word

If she said goodbye, well, I never heard

But the noise goes on

The noise, the jazz

And the truth is in somebody else's hands

And the house that a girl called Johnny built

Is now just ashes and sand
