Lost Johnny (1997 Remaster)

Lost Johnny (1997 Remaster) - Motorhead

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

Pulling girls with sharp white teeth

Are waiting in the night

But you want to really get some

It surely can be hard

There's always trouble lurking

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 ****

Try to be so brief

Lost johnny's out there

Looking for relief

Our sonny looks so evil

And you know he really tries

But every time he makes a play

The vital only 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 shooting tunial

To murder our young dreams

Can you find your credit card

For God's sake make it quick

Lost johnny's out there

Trying to turn a trick
