lyrics

John... John... John...Butler Train...
John Butler Train. Whispered at the back of your brain.
You couldn't cope, he handed you the rope.
Choking 'til no more pain...
Preying on the pieces of a broken heart.
"Cut yourself with the shards..."
It dug too deep, you bled fast asleep.
Waited 'til you left your guard.
The world was colour, you saw grey.
"No need to be around..."
All the liquor in the world couldn't dress the wounds.
All you heard were the sounds of:
John... John... John...Butler Train...
Standing there watching you dangle.
Swaying left to right.
He kicked you on the ground, you thought you were beat...
"Lenny doesn't live here anymore..."
His influence spread like cancer, chewin' away from within.
He told you what to write; said "It'll be alright"
He burned that note in the bin.
John... John... John...Butler Train...
