[00:07.19]Remember one Christmas I gave you Jim Carroll
[00:08.38]Intended it as a cautionary tale
[00:09.63]You said you saw yourself inside there
[00:14.39]Dog-eared it like a how-to manual
[00:18.75]Remember one summer we walked in Times Square
[00:23.29]I showed you the zombies with hundred-inch stares
[00:27.9]You took a Bic, set your hotel on fire
[00:32.37]We took the blame, took the bags to the train
[00:36.57]Happy Birthday, Johnny
[00:39.9]Wherever you are
[00:45.18]Happy Birthday, Johnny
[00:49.08]Wherever you are
[00:56.26]The last time you called it was on New Years’ Eve
[01:00.06]You asked me for dough to get somethin’ to eat
[01:03.77]Since we last spoke, you live on the street
[01:07.85]Yeah, I wouldn’t believe all the sh*t that you seen
[01:12.15]Happy New Year, Johnny
[01:15.93]Is it 23?
[01:20.85]Happy New Year, Johnny
[01:24.37]Are the lights on the trees?
[02:03.69]When I said, “let me think,” and you yelled through your teeth
[02:06.33]Accused me of actin’ like all royalty
[02:10.73]Always for show, no true charity
[02:14.88]You saw me on magazines and TV
[02:19.58]But if they only knew the real version of me
[02:24.36]Only you know the secrets, the swamp, and the fear
[02:28.63]What happened to blood, our family?
[02:33.05]Annie, how could you do this to me?
[02:41.2]Of course, I blame me
[02:46.28]When you get free, Johnny
[02:50.37]I hope you find peace
