Lost Johnny
===========
G A
You only get a single chance
G A
The rules are very plain
G A
The truth is well concealed inside
G A
the details of the game
D E
You can see it coming
D E
You can hear it from afar
D E
It's pale and it flickers
C D G-A
Like a faded movie sta-ar
D E
And up there in the castle
D E
they're trying to make us scream
D E
by sticking thumb tacks in her flesh
C D G-A
and cancelling the dre-am
D E
Can you find the Valium?
D E
Can you bring it soon?
C D G-A
Lost Johnny's out there baying at the Mo-on
G A
The time has come for you to choose
G A
and you'd better get it right
G A
Berlin girls with sharp white teeth
G A
are waiting in the night
D E
But you ought to really get some
D E
It surely can't be hard
D E
There's always trouble waiting
C D G-A
when you leave your own back ya-ard
D E
And underneath the city
D E
the alligators sing
D E
about how the puppets cannot dance
C D G-A
since someone cut their stri-ings
D E
Run and get the morphine
D E
for God's sake make it brief
C D G-A
Lost Johnny's out there looking for relief
G A
Now he sounds and looks so evil
G A
and you know he really tries
G A
but every time he makes a play
G A
that vital number dies
D E
And Sally buys her underwear
D E
from a store where no-one goes
D E
She makes it big in photographs
C D G-A
on the strength of what she sho-ows
D E
And here inside the waiting room
D E
the radio still screams
D E
And we're all taking Tuenol
C D G-A
to murder our young dre-ams
D E
Run and fetch your credit card
D E
Try to make it quick
C D G-A
Lost Johnny's out there trying to turn a tri-ick
