Screaming John

Blue blue Mary Blue blue Mary And Screaming John Screaming John had a broken heart He was outside crying all alone In the parking lot 'Cause his brother had left Half alone and half together He'd sit up late at night And have to wonder had he lived or died 'Cause he was thinkin' But he didn't know why He'd go uder the screaming sky Lookin' at the water reflecting the city lights And he'd howl at the crescent moon But he didn't know why And he was all alone He was all alone Blue blue Mary Blue blue Mary And Screaming John The last to leave when the war was through Stabbing at imaginary enemies Tryin' to run'em all through And when the moon stabbed down White light in streams Johnny panic fell asleep and had to wrestle With the dragons in his dreams Like a knight from round table He was Screaming John and he was all alone And he was lookin' for home All alone in the middle of the night He went crazy by the candlelight Before his final madness came He had a vision of God on an elevated train Grieving for the anguish of his lonely lonely boy And Mary's teardrops fell like rain And the fields were ripe to bloom again And the Sisters of Babylon dressed in red were singing for his soul Come on Johnny let me sing it to you Come on Johnny let me take you home Blue blue Mary Blue blue Mary And Screaming John
