Took a fast train to Eden
Where Johnny took quite the beating
Picking up the pieces of a broken shell
The shell
Stumblin' down dead end streets
With every soul s**er he meets
Living like a king by the gates of Hell
Of Hell
The more he comes, the more he goes
The less he learns, the more he knows
He had your heart, but it never shows
The more he comes, the more he goes
Bones in the Bowery bathroom
The kids from the back of the cla**room
Each one a mausoleum of might
Of might
Finer things so you can live better
Loafers and a cashmere sweater
Everyone's a worker in the diamond mines
The mines
The more he comes, the more he goes
The less he learns, the more he knows
He had your heart, but it never shows
The more he comes, the more he goes
