[Verse 1]
Remember one Christmas, I gave you Jim Carroll
Intended it as a cautionary tale
You said you saw yourself inside there
Dog-eared it like a how-to manual
Remember one summer, we walked in Times Square
I showed you the zombies with hundred-inch stares
You took a Bic, set your hotel on fire
We took the blame, took the bags to the train

[Chorus]
Happy Birthday, Johnny
Wherever you are
Happy Birthday, Johnny
Wherever you are

[Verse 2]
The last time you called it was on New Years' Eve
You asked me for dough to get somethin' to eat
Since we last spoke, you live on the street
Yeah, I wouldn't believe all the shit that you've seen

[Chorus]
Happy New Year, Johnny
Is it twenty-three?
Happy New Year, Johnny
Are there lights on the trees?
