Alice Cooper - East Side Story

Текст песни

Beneath the bare light bulb above\nShe gazed into the eyes of love\nBathed in the dirty neon lights\nShe begged him «don't go out tonight»\nIf we work out somehow maybe\nWe could find a way out baby\nAnd he laughed and said «I got to go»\nAnd she cried «no»\nJohnny Johnny no\nOh Johnny Johnny no\nHis arms were warm and strong and young\n«I promise I won’t hurt no one»\n«Oh baby when you gonna learn,\nThem folks uptown got bread to burn,\nWhen they see me flash my knife,\nThey’ll be fearin' for their live,\nThey won’t give me trouble this I know"\nAnd she cried no\nOh Johnny Johnny no\nJohnny Johnny no\nThe night passed like a thousand years\nThe tenemant room had culled her tears\nThen came a knock upon the door\nTwo men she’d never seen before\n«Did you know Johnny Brown miss?\nWe hate to tell you this but\nHas he a relative you know?»\nAnd she cried no\nOh Johnny Johnny no\nOh Johnny why’d you go?
