Land: Horses / Land of a Thousand Dances / La Mer (de)

The boy was in the hallway drinking a glass of tea
From the other end of the hallway a rhythm was generating
Boy Another was sliding up the hallway
He merged perfectly with the hallway
He merged perfectly  the mirror in the hallway
The boy looked at Johnny  Johnny wanted to run
But the movie kept moving as planned
The boy took Johnny  he pushed him against the locker
He drove it in  he drove it home  he drove it deep in Johnny
The boy disappeared  Johnny fell on his knees
Started crashing his head against the locker
Started crashing his head against the locker
Started laughing hysterically
When suddenly Johnny gets he's the feeling being surrounded by
Horses  horses  horses  horses
Coming in in all directions
White shining silver studs with their nose in flames
He saw horses  horses  horses  horses  horses  horses  horses  horses
Do you know how to pony like bony maroney
Do you know how to twist  well it goes like this  it goes like this
Baby mash potato  do the alligator  do the alligator
And you twist the twister like your baby sister
I want your baby sister  give me your baby sister  dig your baby sister
Rise up on her knees  do the sweet pea  do the sweet pee pee
Roll down on her back  got to lose control  got to lose control
Got to lose control and then you take control
Then you're rolled down on your back and you like it like that
Like it like that  like it like that  like it like that
Then you do the watusi  yeah do the watusi
Life is filled with holes  Johnny's laying there  his sperm coffin
Angel looks down at him and says  “Oh  pretty boy
Can't you show me nothing but surrender
Johnny gets up  takes off his leather jacket
Taped to his chest there's the answer
You got pen knives and jack knives and
Switchblades preferred  switchblades preferred
Then he cries  then he screams  saying
Life is full of pain  I'm cruisin' through my brain
And I fill my nose with snow and go Rimbaud
Go Rimbaud  go Rimbaud
And go Johnny go  and do the watusi  oh do the watusi
There's a little place  a place called space
It's a pretty little place  it's across the tracks
Across the tracks and the name of the place is you like it like that
You like it like that  you like it like that  you like it like that
And the name of the band is the
Twistelettes  Twistelettes  Twistelettes  Twistelettes
Twistelettes  Twistelettes  Twistelettes  Twistelettes
Baby calm down  better calm down
In the night  in the eye of the forest
There's a mare black and shining with yellow hair
I put my fingers through her silken hair and found a stair
I didn't waste time  I just walked right up and saw that
Up there -- there is a sea
Up there -- there is a sea
Up there -- there is a sea
The sea's the possibility
There is no land but the land
(up there is just a sea of possibilities)
There is no sea but the sea
(up there is a wall of possibilities)
There is no keeper but the key
(up there there are several walls of possibilities)
Except for one who seizes possibilities  one who seizes possibilities
(up there)
I seize the first possibility  is the sea around me
I was standing there with my legs spread like a sailor
(in a sea of possibilities) I felt his hand on my knee
(on the screen)
And I looked at Johnny and handed him a branch of cold flame
(in the heart of man)
The waves were coming in like Arabian stallions
Gradually lapping into sea horses
He picked up the blade and he pressed it against his smooth throat
(the spoon)
And let it deep in
(the veins)
Dip in to the sea  to the sea of possibilities
It started hardening
Dip in to the sea  to the sea of possibilities
It started hardening in my hand
And I felt the arrows of desire
I put my hand inside his cranium  oh we had such a brainiac-amour
But no more  no more  I gotta move from my mind to the area
(go Rimbaud go Rimbaud go Rimbaud)
And go Johnny go and do the watusi
Yeah do the watusi  do the watusi
Shined open coiled snakes white and shiny twirling and encircling
Our lives are now entwined  we will fall yes we're together twining
Your nerves  your mane of the black shining horse
And my fingers all entwined through the air
I could feel it  it was the hair going through my fingers
(I feel it I feel it I feel it I feel it)
The hairs were like wires going through my body
I I that's how I
That's how I
I died
(at that Tower of Babel they knew what they were after)
(they knew what they were after)
Moved up
I tried to stop it  but it was too warm  too unbelievably smooth
Like playing in the sea  in the sea of possibility  the possibility
Was a blade  a shiny blade  I hold the key to the sea of possibilities
There's no land but the land
Looked at my hands  and there's a red stream
That went streaming through the sands like fingers
Like arteries  like fingers
(how much fits between the eyes of a horse )
He lay  pressing it against his throat (your eyes)
He opened his throat (your eyes)
His vocal chords started shooting like (of a horse) mad pituitary glands
The scream he made (and my heart) was so high (my heart) pitched that nobody heard
No one heard that cry
One No heard (Johnny) the butterfly flapping in his throat
(His fingers)
Nobody heard  he was on that bed  it was like a sea of jelly
And so he seized the first
(his vocal chords shot up)
(possibility)
(like mad pituitary glands)
It was a black tube  he felt himself disintegrate
(there is nothing happening at all)
And go inside the black tube  so when he looked out into the steep
Saw this sweet young thing (Fender one)
Humping on the parking meter  leaning on the parking meter
In the sheets
There was a man
Dancing around
To the simple
Rock & roll
Song
