Onward! And Onward! And Onward I goWhere no man before could be bothered to goTill the soles of my shoes are shot full of holesAnd it's all downhill with a bulletThis ramblin' and rovin' has taken it's courseI'm grazing with the dinosaurs and the dear old horsesAnd the city streets crack and a great hole forcesMe down with my soapbox, my pulpitThe theatre ceiling is silver star spangledAnd the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangleDo you love me?Do you love me?Do you love me?Do you love me?There's a man in the theatre with girlish eyesWho's holding my childhood to ransomOn the screen there's a death,there's a rustle of clothAnd a sickly voice calling me handsomeThere's a man in the theatre with sly girlish eyesOn the screen there's an ape, a gorillaThere's a groan, there's a cough, there's a rustle of clothAnd a voice that stinks of death and vanillaThis is a secret, mauled and mangledAnd the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangleDo you love me?Do you love me?Do you love me?Do you love me?The walls in the ceiling are painted in bloodThe lights go down, the red curtains come apartThe room is full of smoke and dialogue I know by heartAnd the coins in my pocket jingle-jangleAs the great screen crackled and poppedAnd the clock of my boyhood was wound down and stoppedAnd my handsome little body oddly proppedAnd my trousers ride down to my anklesYes, onward! And upward!And I'm off to find loveDo you love me? If you do, I'm thankfulDo you love me?Do you love me?Do you love me?Do you love me?This city is an ogre squatting by the riverIt gives life but it takes it away, my youthThere comes a time when you just cannot deliverThis is a fact. This is a stone cold truth.Do you love me? I love you, handsome.But do you love me? Yes, I love you, you are handsomeAmongst the cogs and the wires, my youthVanilla breath and handsome apes with girlish eyesDreams that roam between truth and untruthMemories that become monstrous liesSo onward! And Onward! And Onward I go!Onward! And Upward! And I'm off to find loveWith blue-black bracelets on my wrists and my anklesAnd the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangleDo you love me?Do you love me?Do you love me?Do you love me?
