Where are you now when i need you?

Hey Johnny, where are you now when I need you
now when I need you so bad ?
Just one word come straight from your heart
would make me feel so glad
Death and disease waltz together like starlets in this place
and I sure would like to see your honest face

Hey Eddie, where are you now when I miss you
now when I miss you like hell ?
If you were here I know you'd make me
believe again in myself
You don't owe me nothing and I'm not calling you away
so please don't feel accused when I say

Where are you now when I need you ?
When I need you so bad
When my head's almost exploding
and the tension drives me mad
and maybe you wonder do I really believe I need you
but I do

Hey stranger where are you now when I dream about you
in nightmares every night
You are on a big wheel miles above me
almost out of my sight
And just as I wake you shout down something that sounds like
"Why are you not free ?"
but by the time I'm dressed you're just a memory

Where are you now when I need you ?
When I need you so bad
When my head's almost exploding
and this tension drives me mad
and maybe you wonder do I really believe I need you
but I do

Hey Mama, where are you now when I hurt for you
when I hurt for you so hard ?
If you heard this song I know you - you'd come somehow
no matter how far
There's a hundred things I want to say to you
they go rushing around my head
But when we meet, like we always do
we leave the best things unsaid
and my god, isn't that lonely - isn't that lonely as hell
to know the truth always
but be too scared to tell

Where are you now when I need you ?
When I need you so bad
when my heart's almost exploding
and the tension drives me mad
and maybe you wonder do I really believe I need you
but I do
but I do
