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
