What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Johnny bought a ticket for a four o'clock train
2
Spilled wine on his shirt and knew there'd be a red stain
3
'cause in third world countries there were only two lanes
4
Left his lover waiting in the pouring rain
5
There wasn't any law and there wasn't any order
6
Couldn't find a pay phone that didn't take quarters
7
Couldn't find a way to cross the goddamn border
8
He could slip under the fence if he was just a little shorter
9
And if you're gonna leave then you better move quickly
10
If you're gonna stay won't you whisper in my ear
11
My heart is beating fast and I'm feeling kinda sickly
12
Gotta find a way to get the hell outa here
13
He tried to find the embassy to plead his cause
14
He was lost like dorothy in the wizard of oz
15
He was a dictator target getting lots of applause
16
Had a big white beard like santa claus
17
Put some drugs in his pocket it was all blackmail
18
They took away his passport and threw him in jail
19
Tried to call his parents but to no avail
20
Couldn't find anybody to pay his bail
21
And if you're gonna leave then you better move quickly
22
If you're gonna stay won't you whisper in my ear
23
My heart is beating fast and I'm feeling kinda sickly
24
Gotta find a way to get the hell outa here
25
There was a warden in the jail that was so sadistic
26
Ruled the prison with force, he was militaristic
27
Made soup out of the prisoners he was canabalistic
28
Johnny knew that if he stayed it would be fatalistic
29
The warden summoned johnny to his quarters that night
30
They took him to the kitchen and they bound him real tight
31
Johnny knew where he was heading and he knew his plight
32
They thumped him in the head and then they said, goodnight
33
And if you're gonna leave then you better move quickly
34
If you're gonna stay won't you whisper in my ear
35
My heart is beating fast and I'm feeling kinda sickly
36
Gotta find a way to get the hell outa here
37
Well they took off all his clothes and they shaved his stubble
38
They threw him in the pot and then he started to bubble
39
Johnny's girl got word that he was in some trouble
40
She headed 'cross the border right on the double
41
She got word from the police he was in the hen coup
42
She did the bureaucrat and shuffled with the hoola hoop
43
The warden told her, johnny got shot by the steam troops
44
He said, I'm sorry, honey, have another bowl of soup
45
And if you're gonna leave then you better move quickly
46
If you're gonna stay won't you whisper in my ear
47
My heart is beating fast and I'm feeling kinda sickly
48
Gotta find a way to get the hell outa here
49
Gotta find a way to get the hell outa here
50
Never find a way to get the hell outa here
