(Palmer)

Johnny's always running around trying to find certainty

He needs all the world to confirm that he ain't lonely

Mary counts the walls

Knows he tires easily



Johnny thinks the world would be right if it would buy truth for him

Mary says he changes his mind more than a woman

But she made her bed

Even when the chance was slim



Johnny says he's willing to learn when he decides he's a fool

Johnny says he'll live anywhere when he has time to

Mary combs her hair

Says he should be used to it



Mary always hedges her bets, she never knows what to think

She says he's still acting like he's being discovered

Scared that he'll be caught

Without a second thought



Johnny feels he's wasting his breath trying to talk sense to her

Mary says he's lacking a real sense of proportion

So she combs her hair

Knows he tires easily



Johnny's always running around trying to find certainty

He needs all the world to confirm that he ain't lonely

Mary counts the walls

Says he should be used to it
