 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 flickers,
Like a faded movie star.
And out there in the castle,
They're trying to make us scream,
By sticking thumb tacks in our flesh
And cancelling the dream.
Can you find the Valium,
Can you bring them 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 ought to really get some,
It surely can't be hard,
There's always trouble waiting,
When you leave your own backyard.
Underneath the city,
The alligators sing,
Of how the fool he cannot dance,
When someone cuts the strings.
Can you find the morphine,
Try to be so brief,
Lost Johnny's out there,
Looking for relief.
And Simon looks so evil,
And you know he really tries,
But every time he makes a play,
That final number dies.
And Sally finds 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 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.
