Lyrics

I've got a friend with a habit
A habit of running away
He says he can't take it
He takes it every day
Takes it like the hungry
Lonely man he is
Inside his need a soul I see
Burning with a will to live
Come on, John, and make it
Come on, John, it's life, take it
Too long now you've been staring at the moon
Reflected in the liquid cooking in your spoon
I know you're alive, I've seen you light up a room
Come on, John
Come on, come on
His woman left him crying
She could never please
Shе could not get past his arm
He couldn't get on his knees
But me, I see a future
That could be clear and free
I know there is a spirit there
I know, so does he
Come on, John, and make it
Come on, John, it's life, take it
I know you're tired of self-abuse
It's not easy when you're confused
You wanted to die but what's the use?
Come on, John
Come on, come on (Hey)
I've got a friend with a habit
A habit of running away
He says he can't take it
Then he takes it every day
