The sun shines on the living The sun shines on the dead The sun shines on you and me Wherever we lay our heads The sun shines on the evil The sun shines on the good It doesn't favor righteousness Although you wish it would Oh Johnny, oh Johnny Are you still awake? Oh Johnny, oh Johnny I'm terribly scared And now I need an oasis A place to hide from the day I'd like a little dark tiny room Where the music plays Maybe you just lost somebody Maybe your whole world has changed The sun don't really care about that It shines on anyway Oh Johnny, oh Johnny Are you still awake? Oh Johnny, oh Johnny I'm terribly scared I'm goin' back in the box Back in the box Back in the box again Back in the box Back in the box Back in the box again And now love's terrifying I cannot hide what I want You cannot hear me or see me now When I go back in the box If I don't make no decisions I won't make no mistakes But through all these tiny holes Well the light still gettin' in I'm going back in the box Back in the box Back in the box again I'm going back in the box Back in the box Back in the box again
