Nobody Knows

(album: Trick Or Treat - 1991)

Johnny's got high expectations, he's going to rise
Everyone knows, that Johnny is ready, he's ready to fly

Up on the rooftop he turns to the crowd
No one is waiting, no one is there

Nobody knows, why Elvis threw it all away
Nobody knows, what Ruby had to hide
Nobody knows, why some of us get broken hearts
And some of us find a world, that's clear and bright
You could be packed up and ready, knowing exactly, where to go
How can you miss the connection?
No use in asking... the answer is nobody knows...
No use in asking... the answer is nobody knows...

Johnny will keep his illusions, what else can he do?
And you can pretend, that it would be different, if it happened to you

But up on the rooftop, it's a whole other world
And who could see heaven, and not want to stay?

Nobody knows, why Elvis threw it all away
Nobody knows, what Ruby had to hide
Nobody knows, why some of us get broken hearts
And some of us find a world, that's clear and bright
You could be packed up and ready, knowing exactly, where to go
How can you miss the connection?
No use in asking... the answer is nobody knows...
No use in asking... the answer is nobody knows...
The answer is nobody knows
