johnny on the monorail a very different version

The Buggles

Johnny on the Monorail
Down, down they pause then walk away
Even in the street 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

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

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

Goodbye Johnny Reslo
