(One two three four
One two three four
One two three four
One two three, look out!)

I'm learning to handle it
This life of maybe not - or maybe so
Depending on some man in a fortress
Found in another country

These people 'round me now
All clinging on, somehow
To the remains of a much better time
Which is cherished and given a rosier shine

Oh, Johnny the Moondog is dead
Oh, I can't get it out of my head
And it said to me

One ghost will haunt me now
When I remember how
They kill the good guys off in history
And tomorrow, who will the unicorn be?

Of all the thorny crowns
They ever throw around
A pop messiah must wear the cruelest one
Not forever
Only until you are mad

Oh, Johnny the Moondog is dead
Oh, the man on the radio said
He said he was dead
Oh, Johnny the Moondog is dead

And if the world should end
I always tell my friend
"In case of separation, think of me
Cause I love you and I will see you again."

Oh, Johnny the Moondog is dead
Oh, the man on the radio said
He said Johnny... Johnny...
Johnny the Moondog is dead
Oh, Johnny... Johnny...
Johnny the Moondog is dead
