Johnny 9 Songtext / Lyric

Body found, no name, no story

Just a few lines on page 5

Nobody speaks, nobody steps forward

We're not the ones with the problem, we're still alive

Got theories, but nothing really strong

Only guesses and scattered clues

Scar on his back, a finger missing

On his shoulder a serpent and a rose tattoo

A serpent and a rose tattoo

They called him Johnny #9

LAst one in on a Friday night

Standing lonely in second grade

THey said you'll never amount to anything

Scare on his psyche, but he's a fighter

He'll just do what he has to do

you just do what you have to do

Play dumb, look them in the eye

Hope they don't see you through, they'll never know

There's no one left to miss him

You just did what you had to do
