JOHAN - JOHAN (1996)
Everybody knows
Today is gonna be the day, it's in the air
I suppose, no-one's really got a clue why you are here
Just a face in the crowd
Can you play that game, tonight
Tomorrow will be different, it's a simple fact
When you're named, there is no-one around the world who goes and stopping you
And you know that, cause you're faster than a bullet from a loaded gun
It's in your hand, come and get it on
Everybody knows this is your finest hour
A shooting star, that's what you are, this is your time
It's the final dance
Now this could be the moment you were waiting for
Take your chance, don't let it slip away now
You're almost there, you step into the light
Steady gun in your hand, come and get it done
Everybody knows this is your finest hour
A shooting star, that's what you are, this is your time
The party has ended with a shock
Now look at you, what have you done
Everybody knows this is your finest hour
A shooting star, that's what you are, this is your time
When I all comes down
Everybody knows this is your final hour
A shooting star, that's what you are, this is your time
When the lights go out at night, it's black and white, all colours flown away
In your curiousity, the things you see might not be what they seem
I'm the guy, the one of all, from here I follow every move you make
You catch me fall asleep, my eyes are open, I'm always wide awake
You'll suppose the drinks are cheap and every creep is telling his whole life
Listen to he's so hungry, you can almost feel the shame you try to hide
You don't even remember me, so how can you say: "I was dancing"
You will never go on the scene, so how come you know all the answers
Do you think it's funny
It's not funny anymore
How I wish I could close my eyes
And walk away, I'm stuck inside this play
Well I guess it's too late now
I know somehow you will tear away my face
You don't even remember me, so how can you say: "I was dancing"
You will never go on the scene, so how come you know all the answers
It's not funny anymore
It's not funny anymore
Wish I had your dresses
Wish I had your cool friends, so I could talk to you
I'm 25 but you're 16
I could be cool, another scene
Used to cross the streets
See people I didn't want to meet
Now I thought you had me
What I was, it's so absolute
My punk-rockfriends, I rolled and week
I wish I was back in school, just as cool as you
Back in school, just as cool as you
Your heart is not too smart just going round, breaking hearts
But your not to plain
I grow up if only I could burn my head just one more time
And I should be back in school, just as cool as you
Back in school, just as cool as you
Back in school, just as cool as you
Well the car broke down somewhere near Memphis
About another fourty miles to go
Here we were stranded in the middle of nowhere
We were freezing in the falling snow
And if we only had a map or compass
Cause I haven't got the faintest idea, which way to go
Now should we walk and then in what direction
Or do we stay inside this wrecked machine
Or should we try to find a petrol station
and make a fire with the gasoline
And if we only had some food or water
Cause I haven't got the faintest idea, which way to go
After a week we were getting real hungry
Sick and tired of playing guitar
A truck drove by, this unlucky guy
We prepared him for dinner and took his car
So we hit the road and headed for the city
When we got there, no-one said a word
Here we were sitting looking at each other
With a questionmark above our heads
And if we only had a reason to be here
Cause I haven't got the faintest idea, what I'm doing in here
It's five o'clock and I walk through the empty streets
Thoughts fill my head but then still no-one speaks to me
My mind takes me back to the years that have passed me by
It is so hard to believe that it's me that I see in the windowpane
It is so hard to believe that all this is the way that it has to be
It's five o'clock and I walk through the empty streets
The night is my friend and in him I find sympathy
And so I go back to the years that have passed me by
It is so hard to believe that it's me that I see in the windowpane
It is so hard to believe that all this is the way that it has to be
It's five o'clock and I walk through the empty streets
The night is my friend and in him I find sympathy
And he gives me day, gives me hope and a little dream too
It's easy, puttin' words into your mouth
Believe me, I can't turn you inside out
It's all right, you can tell me where you've been
Now don't fight, cause there's no way you'll ever win
What is wrong in your life, Julie comes down every single night
She's sad
Giving love, let it out, tell me now, so we can let it drop
You're sad, she's sad
And someday, you will make a brand new start
But Julie, she has torn your world apart
What is wrong with her mind
Julie comes down each and every night
Go dowm, she makes you strong then she's gone
She pulls you up before she pulls you down
Go down
She's sad
It's easy, so easy
I can't break away
You will dry when I wash, shout it out when I talk
You begin when I'm done, always right when I'm wrong
It's the same everyday, things are going your way
In the heat of the night, everything comes to fight
So baby, don't suffer, cause baby I'm trying
I could hide when you seek, going strong when you're weak
I stay cool when you're hot, always there when you're not
It's your thoughts in my head, they're driving me mad
It's tearing me up, you don't know when to stop
So baby, don't cry more, cause baby I'm trying
Anything I'll ever do, it's nothing compared to the things you do
Can't you see, you are killing me
I will swim, when you drown, keep it up when you're down
I will laugh when you weep, stay away when you sleep
All the sad words you row, all the bad things you know
Not a burn in my heart, now I know where to start
And baby, you'll find out, that baby you're mine now
Anything I'll ever do, it's nothing compared to the things you do
Can't you see, you are killing me
And anything, no matter what I do
YOu always come up with something new that's worse and the curse
Are you through like I am with you
All the things you do, can't see you are killing me
His soul is inside another space, a million miles away from home
Only God knows where I roam
Got no contact with the ground, communications broken down
And I hope I'll find my way cause there is life on Mars, they say
Won't you come outside in the sky so bright
Feel the air is clean of things you've never seen
Won't you come down?
Cause there is nothing left to stay for anyway
Here out floating all alone, only truth to be alone
Cruising across the universe, there's no way back, no reverse
Counting every single moon, I reach my destination soon
Hope my ship knows where to go, cause there is life on Mars, you know
Won't you come outside in the sky so bright
Feel the air is free of things you've never seen
Won't you come down?
Cause there is nothing left to stay for anyway
Hundred thousand matches in a year I got myself up down to here
The promise you made me, was nothing but another lie
The flowers you gave me, as artificial as your smile
I thought the world of you and more, without you I would fall apart
And I would give it all to you, I lost it from the very start
You came in December, in the winter cold you brought me spring
I'll always remember how you changed my life and everything would never be the same again
The letter you sent me, I never read a single word
The answers you wrote me, could never take away the hurt
The world collapsed and you'd survived, I was the last thing on your mind
You kept me dangling like a fool, you had your fun and I was blind
You left in December, you were just another passerby
The dream has been shattered
You were gone and I still wonder why, I never call your name again
You would see me, no more
You won't need me, no more
No more
I always thought that people like us, we could spend our lives together
I always thought that we were special, this affair could last forever
But it's alright and it's ok, you only took my pride away
I'm sure I'm fine, I never mind, I only wanted you to stay
Whenever December comes, she's in my heart and in my soul
I'll never forget her, I can't shake it off, I lost control
And I'm lost in December, she is there but I get no reply
The answers, the cancer, you left behind inside my head
I can't shake it off, I lost control
December's there
Said goodbye this morning when the dawn began to crack
You whispered you were sorry then you stabbed me in the back
I'm breathing in, I'm breathing out, I'm waking up
But you're already gone, something is gone wrong
I hate the feel you left behind, a ghost inside my head
I hate the tears I cried for you cause I just can't forget
It's over now, feel older now
My head is where my feet should be, on the ground
And I'm still around
You think I'm blind that I don't mind, you try to fool me once again
And with that knife, you took my life, I've come to take it back again
You should have known you never get away so easily
You should have known it takes a lot more to get rid of me
I'm so amused, you're so confused
I'm in your thoughts, I'm in your heart, in your soul
Left her in the cold
You think I'm blind that I don't mind, you try to fool me once again
And with that knife, you took my life, I've come to take it back again
I've been your man, it's against you
It's just I want you to be true
Someday we will gather and I will find you and you will find me too
And then we walk across the line
Someday, we're together and I will find you
You and me, we were the same person
So you and me, we can never part
I remember everything, you were sitting on a swing
Push you up, I pull you down, breaking up, make it up
Everything else fades in mist
This is all a lie, got it all in my mind
If it's not real life, this could be a perfect lie
Followed to the other side, take off clothes and in we dive
Swimming till the moon shines, right, right
Everything else fades in mist
This is all a lie, got it all in my mind
If it's not real life, this could be a perfect lie
See you're dress underneath the sunset
Suits you well, you're the sunset, suits you well
If it's all fool, a big lie, you wouldn't tell me this part
If it's just a silly play, you wouldn't let me get this far
Everything else fades in mist
This is all a lie, got it all in my mind
If it's not real life, this could be a perfect lie
See you're dress underneath the sunset
Suits you well, you're the sunset, suits you well
This is all a lie, got it all in my mind
This is not real life, this could be a perfect lie
Well it's was kind of windy, suddenly appeared, this guy he was the very spin of me
Got it all, it's all I ever wanted to be
Now don't you worry sick, I'm on a hurry just do some things for me and I would
Cause after all it was all I ever wanted to be
And you can be like me if you just do what I tell you
And I will set you free, that's what he told me, right before he left off
It's getting out of hand, I thought he was a friend
He's gone and they all mistake me for him
And you were wrong, another man you're searching for
Now I was wanted for crimes he had committed
Before I knew it, they got me locked up
Another one, another million searching for
And you can count on me when you think you have to run
And you can lean on me that's what he told me
Now he's gone, there's something wrong
He was gone, just way out of sight
We will know tonight
And you can count on me when you think you've had too much
And you can lean on me, that's what he told me
Now he's gone, he is gone, there's something wrong
He is just way out of sight, we will know tonight
He is gone, something's wrong, he was just way out of sight
He was taken a ride
He was gone, he was way out of sight
He was gone, he was gone, he was gone
She's walking down the road, she wears her summercoat
The kind of girl that I always dreamed of
She's got a certain style and a pretty smile on her face
Well I think I'm real low now
When she looks my way, I don't know what to say
Or what to do, I'm a fool and I can't think of anything better to do
She's always passing me by and when I try to catch her eyes I'm looking at her mother
How could she possibly be related to this so good for me
Cause they don't look like one and other at all
Someday I come running tell her what to do with her life
She's just playing with me, not with you
Until that day I'm gonna find me a way to get through to you, to you
Could take her out for a ride and have her by my side for a while, we get to know each other
We drive up to a mall but I won't have her all for myself
Cause she will bring her mother along
Someday I come running tell her what to do with her life
She's just playing with me, not with you
Until that day I'm gonna find me a way to get through, get through to you
And you'll be mine, she'll be mine
Not been asleep and you'll be dreaming come with me now
And she won't wake up so you can walk along with me
Out of this place
Walk with me, I know this place, oh yeah
