Johnny, get a hold of your life
Wherever I go
Your face is in front of me
(you aren’t breathing)
Holding up the end of the line
If there ever was a crack in the ice
You don’t believe in it.
You are a diamond, set
On an immaculate height

Belly up and under the wire
Lying awake in the hours and the emptiness
Only to run from the days we are living in
You only get a look at your life
when you’re leaving it
And in the silences
When you’re arrested in flight
When you lie on your back
With your eyes on the firmament

Your burning mouth, your blazing eyes
Come on!
If you believe in it
It’s a respectable life.
Go police all the beats
You’ll find nothing is innocent.

Johnny, get a hold of your life.
Stop on the edge til the animus drains away.
Or follow the loneliest road
And run in the dark
Till the light comes screaming in
Through the silences
When you’re alone on the ice
And you stand on the brakes
To find nothing is happening.
