1
The boy was in the hallway drinking a glass of tea
2
From the other end of the hallway a rhythm was generating
3
Another boy was sliding up the hallway
4
He merged perfectly with the hallway,
5
He merged perfectly, the mirror in the hallway
6
The boy looked at Johnny, Johnny wanted to run,
7
But the movie kept moving as planned
8
The boy took Johnny, he pushed him against the locker,
9
He drove it in, he drove it home, he drove it deep in Johnny
10
The boy disappeared, Johnny fell on his knees,
11
Started crashing his head against the locker,
12
Started crashing his head against the locker,
13
Started laughing hysterically
14
When suddenly Johnny gets the feeling he's being surrounded by
15
Horses, horses, horses, horses
16
Coming in in all directions
17
White shining, silver studs with their nose in flames,
18
He saw horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses.
19
Do you know how to pony like bony maroney
20
Do you know how to twist, well it goes like this, it goes like this
21
Baby mash potato, do the alligator, do the alligator
22
And you twist the twister like your baby sister
23
I want your baby sister, give me your baby sister, dig your baby sister
24
Rise up on her knees, do the sweet pea, do the sweet pee pee,
25
Roll down on her back, got to lose control, got to lose control,
26
Got to lose control and then you take control,
27
Then you're rolled down on your back and you like it like that,
28
Like it like that, like it like that, like it like that,
29
Then you do the watusi, yeah do the watusi
30
Life is filled with holes, Johnny's laying there, in his sperm coffin
31
Angel looks down at him and says, "Oh, pretty boy,
32
Can't you show me nothing but surrender?"
33
Johnny gets up, takes off his leather jacket,
34
Taped to his chest there's the answer,
35
You got pen knives and jack knives and
36
Switchblades preferred, switchblades preferred
37
Then he cries, then he screams, saying
38
Life is full of pain, I'm cruisin' through my brain
39
And I fill my nose with snow and go Rimbaud,
40
Go Rimbaud, go Rimbaud,
41
And go Johnny go, and do the watusi, oh do the watusi
42
There's a little place, a place called space
43
It's a pretty little place, it's across the tracks,
44
Across the tracks and the name of the place is you like it like that,
45
You like it like that, you like it like that, you like it like that,
46
And the name of the band is the
47
Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes,
48
Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes
49
Baby calm down, better calm down,
50
On the night, in the eye of the forest
51
There's a mare black and shining with yellow hair,
52
I put my fingers through her silken hair and found a stair,
53
I didn't waste time, I just walked right up and saw that
54
Up there, there is a sea
55
Up there, there is a sea
56
Up there, there is a sea
57
The sea's the possibility
58
There is no land but the land (Up there is just a sea of possibilities)
59
There is no sea but the sea (Up there is a wall of possibilities)
60
There is no keeper of the key (Up there there are several walls of possibilities)
61
Except for one who seizes possibilities, one who seizes possibilities. (Up there)
62
I seize the first possibility, is the sea around me
63
I was standing there with my legs spread like a sailor
64
I felt his hand on my knee (On the screen)
65
And I looked at Johnny and handed him a branch of cold flame (In the heart of man)
66
The waves were coming in like Arabian stallions
67
Gradually lapping into sea horses
68
He picked up the blade and he pressed it against his smooth throat(The spoon)
69
And let it deep in (The veins)
70
Dip in to the sea, to the sea of possibilities (It started hardening)
71
Dip in to the sea, to the sea of possibilities
72
I put my hand inside his cranium, oh we had such a brainiac-amour
73
But no more, no more, I gotta move from my mind to the area
74
(Go Rimbaud, go Rimbaud, go Rimbaud)
75
And go Johnny go and do the watusi,
76
Yeah do the watusi, do the watusi
77
Shined open, coiled snakes white and shiny twirling and encircling
78
Our lives are now entwined, we will fall yes we're together twining
79
Your nerves, your mane of the black shining horse
80
And my fingers all entwined in your silky hair,
81
I could feel it, it was the hair going through my fingers,
82
The hairs were like wires going through my body
83
I, I that's how I
84
That's how I
85
I died (At that Tower of Babel they knew what they were after)
86
(They knew what they were after)
87
(Everything on the current) Moved up
88
I tried to stop it, but it was too warm, too unbelievably smooth,
89
Like playing in the sea, in the sea of possibility, the possibility
90
Was a blade, a shiny blade, I hold the key to the sea of possibilities
91
There's no land, but the land
92
Looked at my hands, and there's a red stream
93
That went streaming through the sands like fingers,
94
Like arteries, like fingers
95
He lay, pressing it against his throat (Your eyes)
96
He opened his throat (Your eyes)
97
His vocal chords started shooting like (of a horse) mad pituitary glands
98
The scream he made (and my heart) was so high (my heart) pitched that nobody heard,
99
No one heard that cry,
100
No one heard (Johnny) the butterfly flapping in his throat,
101
Nobody heard, he was on that bed, it was like a sea of jelly,
102
And so he seized the first (His vocal chords shot up)
103
It was a black tube, he felt himself disintegrate (There is nothing happening at all)
104
And go inside the black tube, so when he looked out into the steep
105
Saw this sweet young thing (Fender one)
106
Humping on the parking meter, leaning on the parking meter
107
In the sheets
108
There was a man
109
Dancing around
110
To the simple
111
Rock & roll
112
