lyrics

Well I found him with his eyes rolled back into his head.
He was lying like a Painted Angel on the bed.
I said, Johnny, what’s the story? You slept through Labor Day!
And I told him what he’d missed, till there was nothing left to say.

Then my eyes fell on a needle dangling from his arm,
And before I thought of freedom, I sounded the alarm.
So the paramedics came, then you Boys in Blue arrived.
Now I’m held here in this station, hoping Johnny’s still alive.

Is it true, sir? Has my Dad come all this way to gloat?
Where’s the good cop from the movies to wrap me in his coat?
You’re not shepherding the helpless — you want someone to blame.
If you wanna know the truth, I wish I’d never said my name.

If my Father’s on the other side of that door,
You can tell him I don’t want no bail, Officer.
