Land:; Horses\\ Land Of A Thousand Dances\\ La Mer(de)
Patti Smith

The boy was in the hallway drinking a glass of tea

From the other end of the hallway a rhythm was generating

Another boy 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 the feeling he's 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, in 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,

On 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 of 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

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

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 in your silky hair,

I could feel it, it was the hair going through my fingers,

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

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,

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)

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
