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 |
|
MoonThe 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 |
|
TuenolTo 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 |
