I spend my life on the move, my life on the road
|
Town to town, city to city, time zone to time zone
|
Success keeps you busy so I can't complain how life is
|
But in a life like this you tend to develop some vices
|
|
My wife is my life and I'd never cheat on her
|
But there are one or two things that I do keep from her
|
I have my addictions, or rather my addictions have me
|
Sometimes the shadow of my shadow is all I can be
|
|
I find myself alone in different hotel rooms
|
Just me and my thoughts and that milk-stained moon
|
I'm drawn to walk the streets as my heart rate rises
|
A heavy coat, a scarf, a hat, all become my disguises.
|
|
I've made it known that I suffer from nosebleeds and migraines
|
To explain the occasional mood swings and blood stains
|
There's over a thousand people murdered in this world each day
|
So as I drift from town to town nobody looks my way
|
|
It's an addiction, and I ain't proud of it
|
But the power that you feel there's no clouding it.
|
The fear before the fact, as they know something's wrong
|
The vain attempts to scream their muffled swan song
|
The struggle, the shock in their eyes,
|
My grip around their throat as all their hope dies
|
That sudden loss of breath, there is no thrill equal,
|
My name is Johnny Depp and I kill people.

The Struggle

The Shock

|
You fuckers never saw it coming, who'da thunk it or thought it?
|
You'd be ignored like the ramblings of a drunk if you'd report it
|
My performances are greeted with plaudits and laughter
|
If you caught me red handed you'd probably think it's stigmata
|
|
Success sucks less than standard existence
|
But when you exceed that standard dreams, what becomes of ambitions?
|
The average man can dream dreams of a path he's never walked
|
But when that path's your day to day, your dreams become warped
|

|
People underestimate the value of dreaming
|
That which you aspire to provides of a roof, a ceiling
|
In particular the dreams that there's no way of achieving
|
Like I wanna be Brad Pitt or something equally fleeting
|
|
I can't aspire to such things so deeper I must delve
|
And then the only guide I have to life becomes myself
|
This was always going to happen, in fact I'd be surprised if I'm the first
|
This kind of success and power is bound to bring out the worst
|
|
With success comes power and great success has been given me
|
And with great power... comes great fuck-a-bility
|
I'm a good husband though, I've never cheated on my wife
|
Despite opportunities I live a monogamous life
|
|
My addictions manifest in a darker form
|
If the heart is a house, I have a blood stained lawn
|
My public portraits immaculate but there's blood on the easel
|
My name is Johnny Depp and I kill people
|
