Lyrics:

I remember Johnny hey
Johnny come lately
I remember her shoes like a ballerina
A girl called Johnny who
Changed her name when she
Discovered her choice was to change
Or to be changed

I remember a girl called Johnny
Black as hell, white as a ghost
Don't talk about life and death
She'd say, 'I've had enough of both'
A girl called Johnny who
Was not scared
They would have torn her to pieces but
Who would dare?

I remember a girl called Johnny
The train came to town, boy! She got on it
Without looking back, with barely a word
If she said goodbye well I never heard
But the noise goes on
The noise, the jazz
Truth is in somebody else's hands
And the house that a girl called Johnny built
Is now just so much
Ashes and sand
Ashes and sand
Ashes and sand
Ashes and sand
