Lost Johnny

歌詞

You only get a single chance The rules are very plain The truth is well concealed inside The details of the game You can see it coming You can hear it from afar It's pale and it flickers Like a faded movie star And up there in the castle They're trying to make us scream By sticking thumb tacks in her flesh And canceling the dream Can you find the Valium? Can you bring it soon? Lost Johnny's out there Baying at the Moon The time has come for you to choose You'd better get it right Berlin girls with sharp white teeth Are waiting in the night But you oughta really get some It surely can't be hard There's always trouble waiting When you leave your own back yard And underneath the city The alligators sing About how the puppets cannot dance Since someone cut the strings Run and get the morphine For God's sake make it brief Lost Johnny's out there Looking for relief Now Simon looks so evil And you know he really tries But every time he makes a play That vital number dies And Sally buys her underwear From a store where no one goes She makes it big in photographs On the strength of what she shows Then here inside the waiting room The radio still screams And we're all taking Tuenol To murder our young dreams Run and fetch your credit card Try to make it quick Lost Johnny's out there Trying to turn a trick
