[Verse 1]
I spend my life on the move
My life on the road, town to town
City to city, time zone to time zone
Success keeps you busy
So I can't complain how life is
But in a life like this you tend to develop some vices
My wife is my life and I'd never cheat on her
But there are one or two things I do keep from her
I have my addictions or rather my addictions have me
Sometimes the shadow of my shadow is, all I can be
I find my self alone in different hotel rooms just me and my thoughts
And that milk stained moon
I'm drawn to walk the street as my heart rate rises
A heavy coat, a scarf, a hat all become my disguises
I made it known I suffer from nosebleeds and migraines
To explain the occasional mood swings and blood stains
There are over a thousand people murdered in this world each day
So as I drift from town to town nobody looks my way
Its an addiction and I ain't proud of it
But the power you feel there's no cloud in it
The fear before the fact, as they know some things wrong
The vain attempt to scream their muffled swan song
The struggle, the shock in their eyes
My grip around their throat as all their hope dies
The sudden loss of breath there is no thrill equal
My name is Johnny Depp and I kill people
The fear
The scream
The struggle
The shock x4
[Bridge]
You fuckers never saw it coming who'd of thunk it or thought it
It be ignored like the ramblings of a drunk if you'd report it
My performances are greeted with plaudits and laughter
If you caught me red handed you probably think it stigmata
Success sucks less than standard existence
But when you exceed the standard dreams what becomes of our ambitions
The average man can dream dreams of a path he's never walked
But when that path's your day to day your dreams become warped
The fear
The scream
The struggle
The shock x2
[Verse 2]
People underestimate the value of dreaming
That which you aspire to provides a roof, a ceiling
In particular the dreams that there's no way of achieving
Like, I wanna' be Brad Pitt or something equally fleeting
I can't aspire to such things the deeper I must delve
And then the the only guide I have to life becomes myself
This was always gonna' happen
In fact I'll be surprised if I'm the first
This kind of success and power is bound to bring out the worst
With success come power and great success has been given me
And with great power, comes great fuckability
I'm a good husband though, I've never cheated on my wife
Despite opportunities I live a monogamous life
My addictions manifest, in a darker form
If the heart is a house then I have a blood stained lawn
My public portraits immaculate but there's blood on the easel
MY NAME IS JOHNNY DEPP AND I KILL PEOPLE
