Lost Johnny

You only get a single chance
 The rules are very plain
 The truth is well concealed inside the details of the game
 You can hear it coming
 You can see it from afar
 It's pale, and it glimmers like a faded movie star
 And here inside the castle
 They're trying to make her scream
 By sticking thumb tacks in her flesh, and cancelling 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
 Smiling girls with sharp white teeth are waiting in the night
 But you want to really get some
 It surely can't be hard
 There's always trouble waiting when you leave your own backyard
 
 And underneath the city
 The alligators sing
 Of how the fool, he cannot dance since someone cuts the strings
 Can you get the morphine?
 Try to be so brief
 Lost Johnny's out there, looking for relief
 ♪
 Now, Larry 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
 And here inside the waiting room
 The radio still screams
 And we're all shooting Tuinal to murder all your dreams
 
 Can you find your credit card?
 For God's sake, make it quick
 Lost Johnny's out there, trying to turn a trick
