Of how the fool he cannot dance
And we're shooting children
And canceling the dream
It surely can't be hard
Can you find your credit card
The time has come for you to choose
And shall I find their underwear
Looking for relief
Can you find the morphine?
From a store where no one goes?
When you leave your own backyard
Trying to turn a trick
Lost Johnny's out there
You'd better get it right
On the strength of what she shows
Can you bring them soon?
It's pale and it glimmers
For God's sake make it quick
But every time he makes a play
Can you find the Valium?
The radio still screams
Baying at the moon
The alligators sing
You can see it from afar

And here inside the waiting room
Are waiting in the night
You can hear it coming
Lost Johnny's out there
When someone cuts the strings
By sticking thumb tags in a flash
Pulling girls with sharp white teeth
They're trying to make us scream
She makes it big in dugs
Underneath the city
And you know he really tries
The details of the game
That battle compromise
There's always trouble lurking
To murder all young things
Try to be so brief
But you want to really get some
That laddie looks so evil
Lost Johnny's out there
Songwriters: Mick Farren, Ian Fraser Kilminster
And out there in the castle
You only get a single chance
Like a faded movie star
The truth is well concealed inside
The rules are very plain
