Nobody Knows - Paul Brady

Johnny’s got high expectations\nHe’s gonna rise\nEveryone knows that Johnny is ready\nHe’s ready to fly\nUp on the rooftop he turns to the crowd\nNo one is waiting\nNo one is there\nChorus\nNobody knows why Elvis threw it all away\nNobody knows what Ruby had to hide\nNobody knows why some of us get broken hearts\nAnd some of us find a world that’s clear and bright\nYou could be packed up and ready\nKnowing exactly where to go\nHow come you miss the connection?\nNo use in asking… the answer is nobody knows\nNo use in asking… the answer is nobody knows\nJohnny will keep his illusions\nWhat else can he do?\nAnd you can pretend that it would be different\nIf it happened to you\nBut up on the rooftop, it’s a whole other world\nAnd who could see heaven\nAnd not want to stay?\nRepeat chorus
