Johnny was a junkie but his mommy didn't know
couldn't see the track marks from his wrists to his elbows

She was busy drinking martinis
cuz life in the suburbs ain't always that easy
Julie was perfect yea queen of the prom
most likely to succeed by the age of 21
something funny happened to her along the way
first she took a hit then she ran away

Johnny was found with a needle in his arm
mommy couldn't figure out what was wrong
tears roll from her tranquilized eyes
another pill will kill the pain inside

Julie was hanging from the 12th street bridge
her suicide note clenched in her fist
it said sorry things turned out this way
maybe tomorrow will be a better day
