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
