Came home on the ferry from Amsterdam, hear comes Rock'n'Roll John
Sutures in his head an his arm all gone, lost in a war that won
Heaving with belated breath, you sigh relief
Courage in a loaded barrel you find belief
Courage for the life you lead, you need the pain
Clutching to your own distress you dig again
Down the hole I hear their cry, just one more hit
Just one more try before you quit
She's heroin of your nightmares, damage hold her hand
Loaded barrels and needles, dragons in scary land
Rebound on the ferry to Amsterdam there goes Rock'n'Roll John
Sutures in his arm, an his head all gone, goodbye to everyone
Heaving with belated breath, I sigh relief
Courage in the last goodbye, I found belief
