You're just taking your ass to the top of that building
This time, it won't end in tears
Johnny please, please, stop pretending
Under the wheels, the same, the same
Take care of yourself
Taking the pill that you know will kill you
This time, may just end in tears
Said, mama "Can't you feel me"
Under the wheels, the same, the same

I said Jesus, Mary, and the Saints above
Mama, don't let him stay, please
I find myself, with a new daddy
My mama needs love you see
Taking the pill that you know will kill you
Won't you show him love?
Always higher than a child should see
I said Jesus, Mary, and the Saints but
I don't say hi to those guys no more

And nobody's keeping score
Mama please, please, stop pretending
Throwing yourself under cars and trains
So young and fucked up baby
Knock on your door
Throwing yourself under cars and trains

Guess she don't wanna be lonely

Taking the pill that you know will kill you
Sayin' mama knows best as they knock, knock
You're just taking your ass to the top of that building
You were a mother and child, at the same time
You're just taking your ass to the top of that building
Johnny those guys that you shake it for
Don't let him stay
Under cars and trains
The same, the same, the same
Taking your ass to the top of that building
Under the wheels, wheels, wheels

Taking the pill that you know will kill you

To the top of that building
When you're popping those pills
Under the wheels, wheels, wheels
Holding my breath as they knock, knock, knock on our door
You were a mother and child
Won't you show him love?
Throwing yourself under cars and trains
Mama don't you let him stay
Because you won't find Daddy
Throwing yourself under cars and trains

Under the wheels, the same, the same
And nobody's keeping score
Johnny's gone and got himself a new man

He gets laid every day
Taking the pill that you know will kill you
Oh Johnny, "Is the danger just part of the thrill?"
Under cars and trains
Just 18 at the time
Taking your ass to the top of that building
Pretty girl, little girl, what were you thinking
From bastard to loser, hurt you, used you in every way
Taking the pill that you know will kill you
Forgive me

I said, "Johnny can't you hear them"
