Seems like your heart stops working

the minute they close the curtain

And take off your mask,

and take off your costume

And if anyone asks

you're taking a small break

Drinking some coffee

But everyone knows what you're doing

Seems like the bus moves slower,

just cause you got somewhere to go

So you take a few pills in Beverly Hills

But if anyone asks

you've got a prescription

You got an addiction,

Who do you think that you're fooling?

John Doe, I just want the John I know

Once you put the drinks on hold

Maybe you could come back home

John Doe, ooh oh oh oooh

Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh

Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh

Errybody's addicted to something

Errybody got a grip onto something,

Even if it's just the feel too

responsible to be maybe once,

maybe twice

Maybe hundreds of times

hundreds of times

But that it's just harder to function at times

You wasted at the bottom of every single bottle

As if it was someone or something to find

You're struggling in your mind

And you tell yourself lie after lie

And you get to the point

where there's no lower

That people that you work

with noticed the sings

And you walk in the room

And you notice it's been quiet,

So you break up the silence

you say you've been at the gym

But the way look ain't blame on the diet

So what you hiding?!

John Doe, I just want the John I know

Once you put the drinks on hold

Maybe you could come back home

John Doe, ooh oh oh oooh

Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh

Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh

Yeah, I've probably had too many things

Mashed too many freaks

Had too much to drop me

Had too much to drink

Left the club, ended up in custody

When the drug test passed it luckily

My girlfriend cause she woke me up suddenly

with a woman up on me,

I told her wait! it ain't what it look like

I must've slip and fell, clumsy me!

Well, at least I admit it,

cause the worst you could do

Is to do it and not to be mad

enough to say that you did it

That's just how you prevent it

well I ain't no different

I love all the money, the fame,

And the parties with beautiful women!

I spend so much time as an underground artist

'Cause I was afraid to succumb to the business

That I've become?

But that what you'd judge I become

with the greatest resistance

That's how the tables can turn when they

and change the perspective

and rip your entire position

My whole life I've been dying to wish

and to live the experience

That everything's possible

when I told 'em my dreams

They just said they were logical

Now, I can see it it's optical

Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh

Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh

John Doe, I just want the John I know

Once you put the drinks on hold,

Maybe you could come back home

John Doe
