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 hel, 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 would have torn her to pieces but
Who would dare?

I remember a girl called Johnny
Train came to town, boy, she got on it
Without looking back, there was barely a word
If she said goodbye, I never heard
But the noise goes on, the noise, the jazz

Truth is in somebody else's hands
And the house that a girl called johnny built
Is now just so much ashes and sand
Ashes and sand
Ashes and sand
Ashes and sand
