Lost Johnny Lyrics - Hall Of The Mountain Grill - Hawkwind

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 pale and it flickers 

like a faded movie star 

And up there in the castle 

they're trying to make us 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

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

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 oughta really get some 

It surely can't be hard 

There's always trouble waiting 

when you leave your own back yard 

And underneath the city 

the alligators sing 

about how the puppets cannot dance 

since someone cut the strings 

Run and get the morphine 

For God's sake make it brief 

Lost Johnny's out there 

looking for relief 

Photos 

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 Tuenol 

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
