Lyrics

[Verse] Down by the corner 'neath the flicker of the light Lives a man named Johnny He's lost somewhere in the night Cracked skin Wild eyes Ancient soul in disguise He’s a wanderin’ philosopher Untouched by the lies [Verse 2] No shoes on his feet No love in his hands He's a dusty drifter in forgotten lands Society points fingers Calls him every name He's the modern Diogenes They're all but the same [Chorus] He sleeps with the stars Drinks their lonely glow Smoking his reveries Where the wild thoughts flow They judge him in shadow Their envy in disguise For it's freedom he's found Behind those haunted eyes [Verse 3] Cans and bottles in carts His only ancient scrolls In alleyways and shadows He roams the city’s fold Wisdom in his mumbling In a world gone deaf Life's a lesson hard won In each ragged breath [Bridge] People in their towers With their crystal dreams Miss the truth in the gutter Where his spirit gleams They're shackled and bound By their gold-plated chains While he dances in freedom No tracks No reins [Chorus] He sleeps with the stars Drinks their lonely glow Smoking his reveries Where the wild thoughts flow They judge him in shadow Their envy in disguise For it's freedom he's found Behind those haunted eyes
