Escape

There's no escape from the fire in his eyes
I know he's watching you
Johnny's got a gun and loaded just for fun
Streets are empty when he comes.

Doesn't want the fame, a king for a day
There's no escape.

Johnny's not afraid with the mistakes he's made
He knows just what to do to get it all from you.

City is his home, you know he walks alone
His money comes from liquor stores
In the New York news said, "He'll be singing the blues"
Turn the page, writing's on the wall.

Doesn't want the fame, a king for a day
There's no escape.

Johnny's not afraid with the mistakes he's made
He knows just what to do to get it all from you.

Then just last night, I saw the blood on the ground
Saw a knife right in his side
The morning he won't see, for what is true to be
He's finally lost his crown.

Doesn't want the fame, a king for a day
Now Johnny's gone.

Johnny's not afraid with the mistakes he's made
He knows just what to do to get it all from you
Johnny's not afraid with the mistakes he's made.
