[00:00.20] The boy was in the hallway drinking a glass of tea
[00:03.76] From the other end of the hallway a rhythm was generating
[00:06.54] Another boy was sliding up the hallway
[00:10.99] He merged perfectly with the hallway
[00:15.53] He merged perfectly
[00:17.51] The mirror in the hallway
[00:19.73] The boy looked at Johnny
[00:21.55] Johnny wanted to run
[00:23.23] But the movie kept moving as planned
[00:26.40] The boy took Johnny
[00:28.22] He pushed him against the locker
[00:30.11] He drove it in, he drove it home
[00:31.87] he drove it deep in Johnny
[00:33.75] The boy disappeared
[00:35.72] Johnny fell on his knees
[00:37.24] Started crashing his head against the locker
[00:39.78] Started crashing his head against the locker
[00:42.28] Started laughing hysterically
[00:44.75] When suddenly Johnny gets the feeling he's being surrounded by
[00:52.62] horses, horses, horses, horses
[00:56.66] Coming in in all directions
[00:59.26] White shining silver studs with their nose in flames
[01:04.49] He saw horses, horses, horses, horses
[01:08.49] Horses, horses, horses, horses
[01:11.86] Do you know how to pony like bony maroney
[01:18.49] Do you know how to twist
[01:21.78] Well it goes like this
[01:23.69] It goes like this
[01:25.16] Baby mash potato
[01:28.39] Do the alligator
[01:30.36] Do the alligator
[01:31.79] And you twist the twister like your baby sister
[01:36.98] I want your baby sister
[01:38.70] Give me your baby sister
[01:40.31] Dig your baby sister
[01:41.92] Rise up on her knees
[01:45.53] Do the sweet pea
[01:46.94] Do the sweet pee pee
[01:48.60] Roll down on her back
[01:51.93] Got to lose control
[01:53.45] Got to lose control
[01:55.07] Got to lose control
[01:56.71] And then you take control
[01:58.24] Then you're rolled down on your back
[02:01.92] And you like it like that
[02:03.69] Like it like that
[02:05.31] Like it like that
[02:06.92] Like it like that
[02:08.26] Then you do the watusi
[02:11.72] Yeah do the watusi
[02:15.36] Life is filled with holes
[02:18.64] Johnny's laying there
[02:20.00] His sperm coffin
[02:21.88] Angel looks down at him and says
[02:23.49] "Oh, pretty boy,
[02:24.72] Can't you show me nothing but surrender?"
[02:28.40] Johnny gets up
[02:29.91] Takes off his leather jacket
[02:31.54] Taped to his chest there's the answer
[02:34.64] You got pen knives and jack knives and
[02:38.73] Switchblades preferred
[02:42.06] Switchblades preferred
[02:44.09] Then he cries, then he screams, saying
[02:47.93] Life is full of pain
[02:50.93] I'm cruisin' through my brain
[02:54.22] And I fill my nose with snow and go Rimbaud
[02:59.27] Go Rimbaud, go Rimbaud
[03:02.30] And go Johnny go
[03:03.92] And do the watusi
[03:07.46] Oh do the watusi
[03:11.14] There's a little place
[03:14.38] A place called space
[03:17.37] It's a pretty little place
[03:20.55] It's across the tracks
[03:22.79] Across the tracks and the name of the place is
[03:27.36] You like it like that
[03:28.84] You like it like that
[03:30.35] You like it like that
[03:31.92] You like it like that
[03:33.28] And the name of the band is the
[03:43.56] Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes
[03:46.78] Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes
[03:50.11] Baby calm down
[03:53.35] Better calm down
[03:55.63] In the night, in the eye of the forest
[03:58.53] There's a mare black and shining with yellow hair
[04:03.19] I put my fingers through her silken hair and found a stair
[04:08.10] I didn't waste time
[04:09.08] I just walked right up and saw that
[04:12.36] up there -- there is a sea
[04:15.83] up there -- there is a sea
[04:19.05] up there -- there is a sea
[04:22.47] The sea's the possibility
[04:25.95] There is no land but the land (up there is just a sea of possibilities)
[04:28.80] There is no sea but the sea (up there is a wall of possibilities)
[04:31.73] There is no keeper but the key (up there there are several walls of possibilities)
[04:34.97] Except for one who seizes possibilities
[04:37.03] One who seizes possibilities (up there)
[04:39.30] I seize the first possibility, is the sea around me
[04:50.89] I was standing there with my legs spread like a sailor
[04:55.30] I felt his hand on my knee (in a sea of possibilities)
[04:59.49] (on the screen)
[04:59.59] And I looked at Johnny and handed him a branch of cold flame
[05:10.94] (in the heart of man)
[05:12.26] The waves were coming in like Arabian stallions
[05:16.05] Gradually lapping into sea horses
[05:18.98] He picked up the blade and he pressed it against his smooth throat
[05:25.04] (the spoon)
[05:25.95] And let it deep in
[05:28.76] (the veins)
[05:30.02] Dip in to the sea, to the sea of possibilities
[05:36.57] （It started hardening）
[05:37.22] Dip in to the sea(It started hardening in my hand)
[05:39.87] To the sea of possibilities (And I felt the arrows of desire)
[05:43.40] I put my hand inside his cranium
[05:49.57] Oh we had such a brainiac-amour
[05:51.63] But no more, no more,no more
[05:56.12] I gotta move from my mind to the area (go Rimbaud go Rimbaud go Rimbaud)
[06:00.84] And go Johnny go and do the watusi
[06:05.54] Yeah do the watusi, do the watusi
[06:10.39] Shined open coiled snakes white and shiny twirling and encircling
[06:17.33] Our lives are now entwined
[06:19.70] We will fall yes we're together twining
[06:24.47] Your nerves, your mane of the black shining horse
[06:27.96] And my fingers all entwined through the air
[06:31.77] I could feel it
[06:33.14] It was the hair going through my fingers (I feel it I feel it I feel it I feel it)
[06:36.59] The hairs were like wires going through my body
[06:40.68] I I that's how I
[06:42.54] that's how I
[06:43.46] I died
[06:45.77] (at that Tower of Babel they knew what they were after)
[06:48.75] (they knew what they were after)
[06:52.25] moved up
[06:53.16] I tried to stop it
[06:54.38] But it was too warm
[06:56.15] Too unbelievably smooth
[06:57.67] Like playing in the sea
[07:00.10] In the sea of possibility, the possibility
[07:04.96] Was a blade, a shiny blade
[07:09.65] (I hold the key to the sea of possibilities
[07:14.59] There's no land but the land)
[07:17.74] Looked at my hands, and there's a red stream
[07:23.88] That went streaming through the sands like fingers
[07:29.44] Like arteries (how much fits between the eyes of a horse?) like fingers
[07:39.39] He lay, pressing it against his throat (your eyes)
[07:45.00] He opened his throat (your eyes)
[07:47.18] His vocal chords started shooting like (of a horse)
[07:50.92] Mad pituitary glands
[07:53.99] The scream he made (and my heart) was so high (my heart)
[08:00.07] Pitched that nobody heard
[08:04.08] No one heard that cry
[08:07.06] No one heard (Johnny) the butterfly flapping in his throat
[08:13.40] (His fingers)Nobody heard, he was on that bed
[08:16.53] It was like a sea of jelly
[08:19.64] And so he seized the first
[08:22.83] (his vocal chords shot up)
[08:27.90] (possibility)
[08:30.27] (like mad pituitary glands)
[08:32.17] It was a black tube
[08:38.51] He felt himself disintegrate (there is nothing happening at all)
[08:41.97] And go inside the black tube
[08:44.85] So when he looked out into the steep
[08:51.21] Saw this sweet young thing (Fender one)
[08:55.06] Humping on the parking meter
[08:56.57] Leaning on the parking meter
[08:58.79] In the sheets
[09:00.49] There was a man
[09:03.13] Dancing around
[09:06.92] To the simple
[09:08.23] Rock & roll
[09:09.91] Song
[00:00.20] The boy was in the hallway drinking a glass of tea
[00:03.76] From the other end of the hallway a rhythm was generating

[00:10.99] He merged perfectly with the hallway
[00:15.53] He merged perfectly

[04:03.19] I put my fingers through her silken hair and found a stair
[04:08.10] I didn' t waste time
[04:09.08] I just walked right up and saw that
[04:12.36] up there there is a sea
[04:15.83] up there there is a sea
[04:19.05] up there there is a sea
[04:22.47] The sea' s the possibility
[04:25.95] There is no land but the land up there is just a sea of possibilities
[04:28.80] There is no sea but the sea up there is a wall of possibilities
[04:31.73] There is no keeper but the key up there there are several walls of possibilities
[04:34.97] Except for one who seizes possibilities
[04:37.03] One who seizes possibilities up there
[04:39.30] I seize the first possibility, is the sea around me
[04:50.89] I was standing there with my legs spread like a sailor
[04:55.30] I felt his hand on my knee in a sea of possibilities
[04:59.49] on the screen
[04:59.59] And I looked at Johnny and handed him a branch of cold flame
[05:10.94] in the heart of man
[05:12.26] The waves were coming in like Arabian stallions
[05:16.05] Gradually lapping into sea horses
[05:18.98] He picked up the blade and he pressed it against his smooth throat
[05:25.04] the spoon
[05:25.95] And let it deep in
[05:28.76] the veins
[05:30.02] Dip in to the sea, to the sea of possibilities
[05:36.57] It started hardening
[05:37.22] Dip in to the sea It started hardening in my hand
[05:39.87] To the sea of possibilities And I felt the arrows of desire
[05:43.40] I put my hand inside his cranium
[05:49.57] Oh we had such a brainiacamour
[05:51.63] But no more, no more, no more
[05:56.12] I gotta move from my mind to the area go Rimbaud go Rimbaud go Rimbaud
[06:00.84] And go Johnny go and do the watusi
[06:05.54] Yeah do the watusi, do the watusi
[06:10.39] Shined open coiled snakes white and shiny twirling and encircling
[06:17.33] Our lives are now entwined
[06:19.70] We will fall yes we' re together twining
[06:24.47] Your nerves, your mane of the black shining horse
[06:27.96] And my fingers all entwined through the air
[06:31.77] I could feel it
[06:33.14] It was the hair going through my fingers I feel it I feel it I feel it I feel it
[06:36.59] The hairs were like wires going through my body
[06:40.68] I I that' s how I
[06:42.54] that' s how I
[06:43.46] I died
[06:45.77] at that Tower of Babel they knew what they were after
[06:48.75] they knew what they were after
[06:52.25] moved up
[06:53.16] I tried to stop it
[06:54.38] But it was too warm
[06:56.15] Too unbelievably smooth
[06:57.67] Like playing in the sea
[07:00.10] In the sea of possibility, the possibility
[07:04.96] Was a blade, a shiny blade
[07:09.65] I hold the key to the sea of possibilities
[07:14.59] There' s no land but the land
[07:17.74] Looked at my hands, and there' s a red stream
[07:23.88] That went streaming through the sands like fingers
[07:29.44] Like arteries how much fits between the eyes of a horse? like fingers
[07:39.39] He lay, pressing it against his throat your eyes
[07:45.00] He opened his throat your eyes
[07:47.18] His vocal chords started shooting like of a horse
[07:50.92] Mad pituitary glands
[07:53.99] The scream he made and my heart was so high my heart
[08:00.07] Pitched that nobody heard
[08:04.08] No one heard that cry
[08:07.06] No one heard Johnny the butterfly flapping in his throat
[08:13.40] His fingers Nobody heard, he was on that bed
[08:16.53] It was like a sea of jelly
[08:19.64] And so he seized the first
[08:22.83] his vocal chords shot up
[08:27.90] possibility
[08:30.27] like mad pituitary glands
[08:32.17] It was a black tube
[08:38.51] He felt himself disintegrate there is nothing happening at all
[08:41.97] And go inside the black tube
[08:44.85] So when he looked out into the steep
[08:51.21] Saw this sweet young thing Fender one
[08:55.06] Humping on the parking meter
[08:56.57] Leaning on the parking meter
[08:58.79] In the sheets
[09:00.49] There was a man
[09:03.13] Dancing around
[09:06.92] To the simple
[09:08.23] Rock roll
[09:09.91] Song
