I've been told that I've been bold
With you I know I've never given quite enough
The kids on 3rd, they have heard
Sue's been robbed by a transvestite
I think it's time that you should know
I'll never say I love you so
Cause I'm a mess
Johnny Five is my brand new band
I'd quit but it'd still burn my hands
The grace I found has left me in the gutter
I stumble but I should not falter
Heart and soul I gave it all
To the girl at the junkyard by the river
The kids collected what he'd neglected
Was her bras, how cute is that oh !
I think it's time that you should know
I'm out of love and now it shows
Cause I'm a mess
Johnny Five is my brand new name
I'd quit but it'd still burn my hands
The grace I found has left me in the gutter
I stumble but I should never falter
I broke my steer-wheel, I'm out of gas
Where vultures fly around and
I'll walk a hundred miles away
Till asphalt melts I'll go astray.
