Testi

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 real and it flickers like a fading movie star
And up there in the castle, they try to make us scream
By sticking thumb tacks in our 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
Vermin, 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
And underneath the city, the alligators sing
Of how the puppets cannot dance since someone cut the strings
Run and get the morphine, for god 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
And here inside the waiting room, the radio still screams
And we're all taking Quinol 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
