John, where you gonna run to today?
John, so early to be up and away
So how can you teach them?
They never come to hear you,
So how can you reach them?
John, can I come along when you go?
They're beginning to fear you,
And the hate's getting higher
When you wait in the water,
the people can't see the old reflections
When you stand in the road,
the people can't read the old directions
When the people get lost,
they start building a cross
John, why you wanna go back again?
John, talkin' with the desperate men
John, for takin' those chances
John, just playing for dancers
When you wait in the water,
the people can't see the old reflections
When you stand in the road,
the people can't read the old directions
When the people get lost,
they start building a cross
