Dear Johnny,

I'm callin' you now

Cuz I know you're not asleep

It's 2 A.M. right now

It's dead out on the streets

It's the death without the murder

The kill without the cries

The silence after midnight

The speech without the lies

Johnny, put the gun down

Stop beating yourself dead

I just want a conversation

So for a moment keep your head

Johnny, put the knives away

I can't hear you for the screams

I wanna tell you a story

Only you'll understand what it means

So listen to-

What I gotta say

It's only a short phrase or two

Keep the monster at bay

I want to hear your story, too

Paint the walls another day

Cuz right now, I can't sleep

I need somebody to talk to

Before the Sandman comes for me

Dear Johnny,

It's 2:15 right now

On another sleepless night

The moon is but a memory

But the stars are oh-so bright

The streets are oh-so silent

Won't you take me for a ride?

Stop screwing with those assholes

Put off the day they die

Johnny, I just wanna talk to you

I don't know yet what about

Give me a hint, and idea,

Maybe help me figure it out

Johnny, won't you please talk to me?

I don't want to just talk to the phone

Our voices are only static

But let's pretend for one night we're not alone

So listen to-

What I gotta say

It's only a short phrase or two

Keep the monster at bay

I want to hear your story, too

Paint the walls another day

Cuz right now, I don't wanna sleep

I need somebody near to keep me awake

To keep the Sandman far from me

I'm questioning my reasons

For closing my eyes

The sleep that comes so slowly

Is not what's keeping me alive

I'm so tired

I'm questioning my dreams

What do they offer me?

What do they really mean?

I need to say goodnight

I need to go to sleep

I don't want to say goodbye

I'm questioning sleep

Johnny, please don't let me fall-

Johnny, please don't let me fall-

Johnny, please don't let me fall-

Johnny, please don't let me

Fall

Asleep

So listen to-

What I gotta say

It's only a short phrase or two

Keep the monster at bay

I want to hear your story, too

Paint the walls another day

Come on, Johnny, keep me awake

Cuz I don't want to fall asleep

I need to hear your voice now

So the Sandman doesn't come for me

Thank you, Johnny
