One Track Mind
Johnny Thunders Lyrics

When I was born
From the moment I was born, I knew I had to create something that would be my own.

I had to think up a song
I had to create something unique to me, something that defines me, something that I could call my own.

To live like I wish
In order to live life on my own terms, I had to create something that is completely my own, something that makes me unique.

I had to flop like a fish
I had to experience failures and setbacks in order to create something that is truly mine.

In the confusion
Despite facing confusion and uncertainty, I was able to stay true to myself and create something that is unique to me.

I made an illusion
I was able to create something that may appear as an illusion to others, but it is real and true to me.

I spit out a track
I was able to create something unique, something that is truly my own and something that others can't replicate.

And I don't look back
I am proud of my creation and I don't regret anything that I did to get to this point.

Everything's nice
Things may appear nice and perfect on the surface, but it is often just a facade.

When you're covered in ice
When you are unaware of the truth or reality, it is easy to feel content and satisfied with the surface level.

But you open your eyes
Once you realize the truth, it can be overwhelming and difficult to handle.

And it's one big lie
The lies and fakeness that one may encounter can be difficult to accept and deal with.

Well I feel right in home
Despite the chaos and confusion that surrounds me, I feel comfortable and in control in my own space.

In this room of my own
I have created a space that is entirely my own, a place where I can truly be myself.

My rule book is finished
I have established my own set of rules and guidelines and I am content with the values that guide me.

It says don't come in
My space and creation is protected, and only those who truly understand and appreciate it are welcome.

I got tracks on my arms
I have marks, scars and evidence of my journey and my struggles to create something unique.

Tracks on my face
My struggles and journey have left their marks and have shaped me into who I am today.

There's tracks on the walls
My creation and journey are evident not just on my person, but in the space that I have created.

And all over the place
My creation and journey are scattered across many areas of my life and space.

But I don't think I'd miss it
I have created something that is unique and real, but if given the choice, I would choose something even more real and meaningful: a connection with someone special.

If I had you to fix it
If I had someone special to connect with, the pain and difficulties of my journey would be lessened.

I just want you
Despite all of my struggles and creation, at the end of the day, all I really want is a loving and meaningful connection with someone special.

For just one night
Even if it is just for a brief moment, the connection and love that I crave is worth everything to me.

I got a one track mind
Despite all of the distractions and difficulties that I have faced, I am singularly focused on creating something that is truly my own and connecting with someone special.

Over you
Everything that I do and create is ultimately in the pursuit of a meaningful connection with someone special.
