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