feat Bryan Ferry

Johnny's always running around

Trying to find CERTAINTY
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't LONELY

Mary counts the walls
Knows he tires easily
Johnny thinks the world would be right

If it could 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


Running around
Running around


Johnny says he's willing to learn
when he decides he's a FOOL
Johnny says he'd live anywhere

When he earns time -
Mary combs her hair
Says she should be USED TO it

Mary always hedges her bets
She NEVER knows what to think
She says that he still acts like he's being discovered

Scared that he'll be caught
Without a second thought


Running around
Running around
Running around

Running around

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 the walls

Says she should be USED TO it

Running around

Running around

Johnny's always running around

Running around
