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) [Everything on the current] 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, No one 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 Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Memorial Tribute, Mother Rose, My Blakean Year, My Madrigal, New Party, No Mistakes, Notes To The Future, One Voice, Paths That Cross, Peaceable Kingdom, People Have the Power, Persuasion, Piss Factory, Pissing In A River, Poppies, Privilege, Privilege (Set Me Free), Pumping, Pumping (My Heart), Radio Baghdad, Radio Ethiopia / Abyssinia, Radio Ethiopia/Abyssinia, Radio EthiopiaAbyssinia, Ravens, Redondo Beach, Revenge, Rock n Roll Nigger, Rock N Roll Nigger, RockNRoll Nigger, Seven Ways Of Going, So You Wanna Be, So You Want to Be, So You Want To Be (A RocknRoll Star), Somalia, Sometimes Love Just Aint Enough, Space Monkey, Spell, Strange Messengers, Stride Of The Mind, Summer Cannibals, The Jackson Song, The Wicked Messenger, Till Victory, Trampin, Trampin, Trespassers, Trespasses, Up There Down There, Upright Come, Waiting Underground, Other Patti Smith song Lyrics 1959 Lyrics 25th Floor Lyrics 25th Floor ( High On Rebellion) Lyrics 25th Floor (& High On Rebellion) Lyrics 25th Floor / High On Rebellion Lyrics About A Boy Lyrics Aint It Strange Lyrics Aint It Strange Lyrics As the Night Goes By Lyrics Ask The Angels Lyrics Babelogue Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Patti Smith Group Lyrics Patti Smyth & Don Henley Lyrics Patti Symth Lyrics Patty Lyrics Patty Duke Lyrics Griffin Patty Lyrics Patty Griffin Lyrics Patty Loveless Lyrics Patty Loveless F/ Jon Randall Lyrics Patty Loveless F/ Rebecca Lynn Howard Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
