Johnny On The Monorail

Johnny on the Monorail

Down
Down they pause and walk away
Even in the streets your feet don’t move
See their faces through the Perspex
Turn to stare back up at you

You
Your eyes are green and mine are blue
In the subway darkness I am watching you
Oh my-my, you are so sci-fi
Please will you let me ride?

Johnny riding on the monorail
Johnny riding on the monorail
Monorail

You
You know that life is terminal
It’s the Paris Pullman in your mind again
Eyes like cameras move their lenses
Take this dream I offer you

Johnny riding on the monorail
Johnny riding on the monorail
Johnny riding on the monorail

All we cannot see we call invisible
Tracks that move on pylons through the sky
Oh my-my, you are so sci-fi
Please will you let me ride?

Johnny riding on the monorail
Johnny riding on the monorail
Johnny riding on the monorail

Ah!

Johnny on the monorail
Johnny on the monorail
Johnny on the monorail
Johnny on the monorail

Johnny on the Monorail [A Very Different Version] (Elstree B-Side version)


Johnny!
Riding on the monorail
Johnny!
Riding on the monorail
Johnny!
Riding on the monorail
Monorail

Down
Down to pause and walk away
Even in the streets your feet don’t move
See their faces through the Perspex
Turn to stare back up at you

You
Your eyes are green and mine are blue
In the subway darkness I am watching you
Oh my-my, you are so sci-fi
Please will you let me ride?

Johnny!
Riding on the monorail
Johnny!
Riding on the monorail
Monorail

You
You know that life is terminal
It’s the Paris Pullman in your mind again
Eyes like cameras move their lenses
Take this dream I offer you

All we cannot see we call invisible
Tracks that move like pylons through the sky
Oh my-my, you are so sci-fi
Please will you let me ride?

Johnny riding on the monorail
Johnny riding on the monorail
Johnny riding on the monorail

Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah!

Goodbye Johnny Reslo!
