The sun shines on the living
The sun shines on the dead
The sun shines on you and me
Wherever we lay our heads
The sun shines on the evil
The sun shines on the good
It doesn't favour righteousness
Although you wish it would
Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny
Are you still awake?
Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny
I'm terribly scared
And now I need an oasis
A place to hide from the day
I'd like a little dark tiny room
Where the music plays
Maybe you just lost somebody
Maybe your whole world has changed
The sun don't really care about that
It shines on anyway
Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny
Are you still awake?
Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny
I'm terribly scared
I'm going back in the box
Back in the box
Back in the box again
Back in the box
Back in the box
Back in the box again
And now love's terrifying
But I cannot hide what I want
You cannot hear me or see me now
Because I've gone back in the box
If I don't make no decisions
Then I won't make no mistakes
But through all those tiny holes
Well the light's still getting in
I'm going back in the box
Back in the box
Back in the box again
I'm going back in the box
Back in the box
Back in the box again ...psychedelic waves in the ocean of war
nothing was learned from that leasson before
we're a traveling mass with a memory loss
while the army men roll but still gathering moss
nothing was learned
every highway has turned
on to winding avenues
to a black wall they're carved on to
now to earth the land is at war
with each whittling birth behind every door
they'll do unto you what they've done to me
so not to let go means not to be free
nothing was learned
every highway has turned
on to winding avenues
to a black wall they're carved on to
