Placebo - Johnny and Mary lyrics

Johnny's always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't lonely

Mary counts walls, knows he tires easily

Johnny thinks the world would be
Right, if it would buy, truth from 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 say's he'll live any where
When he earns time to

Mary combs her hair
Says she should be use to it

Mary always edges her bets, she never knows
What to think she says that he still acts
Like he's being discovered

Scared that he'll get 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 walls
Says she should be use to it
