Too many times I've seen your kind
 Washed upon the shore
 Too many times you locked me out
 Johnny knockin, knocking at your door
 
 You're looking past the mirror
 Yes you've reached the other side
 You're striving for the pinnacle
 But you're holding on too tight
 
 And when you hold the ticket
 For your one way ride
 You wonder where you're going
 And you can't hide
 
 Too bad, too bad, too bad, too bad, johnny
 What you gonna do
 Too bad, too bad, too bad, too bad, johnny
 Now your time is through
 
 So many highs and lows right now
 What are we to do
 You know we're trying so damn hard
 Johnny just to try and talk to you
 
 You're swimming in an ocean
 It's so black and cold
 I feel you got the notion
 And it's eating at your soul
 
 And when you hold the ticket
 For your one way ride
 You wonder where you're going
 And you can't hide
 
 Too bad, too bad, too bad, too bad, johnny
 What you gonna do
 Too bad, too bad, too bad, too bad, johnny
 Now your time is through
 
 She said, she knew the answer
 He was falling - a falling faster
 Round and round and round - no where to go
 Someone had to help the boy
 He said no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
 
 So many mixed emotions
 And they're driving you insane
 A grip on some reality
 Silence quiet on your window pain
 
 You're looking past the mirror
 Yes you've reached the other side
 You're striving for the pinnacle
 But you're holding on too tight
