“And we are so amazed, we're crippled and we're dazed.
A gardener like that one, no one can replace. And I've been knocking, but no one answers.
And I've been knocking most all the day.
Oh, and I've been calling
Oh, "Hey, Hey, Johnny"
"Can't you come out to play?"”

—  Elton John

Context: But yeah, as we all look at the same projection on the wall, we do become one, and I started to realize the horror of that. And I make no attempt to try to alter it from being that; my thing is more about trying to apply some principles of magic—how to walk between the raindrops—and take advantage of a situation like that, because it’s the only choice you have.

We used to do whole secret tours, we used to stand outside like 'We're playing tonight!”
