A Girl Called Johnny Lyrics

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
