nobody knows
Johnny's got high expectations  He's gonna 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   [Chorus] 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 come 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?   [Chorus]
