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