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 soulsucker 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 a 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 classroom
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 a heart, but it never shows
The more he comes, the more he goes

The more he comes, the more he goes
The less he learns, the more he knows
He had a heart, but it never shows
The more he comes, the more he goes
