Johnny Marr (born John Martin Maher; 31 October 1963) is an English musician, songwriter and singer, best known as the guitarist and – with Morrissey – co-songwriter of the Smiths, who were active from 1982 to 1987. Born in Ardwick, Manchester, to Irish parents, Marr formed his first band at the age of 13. He was part of several bands along with Andy Rourke before forming the Smiths with Morrissey in 1982. The Smiths attained great success and were critically acclaimed, with Marr's jangle pop guitar style becoming distinctive of the band's sound, but separated in 1987 due to personal differences between Marr and Morrissey.

The future's counting down, gotta get out of it
I really like your style, yeah I'm missing the hit
The devil in the dose, never looked so good
I know I'm gonna take it, even think that I could

The feeling coming on, and it seems like a glitch
A schism coming over, and my mind it's a blitz
Talk, talk, talk, talk
Time to get a move on
I'm spinning out I'm spinning, someone take it away

High livin' rise and fall (new zone)
For the boys and the girls
Miasma and your aura (new zone)
Now we're feelin' the whirl
Blah, blah, blah, blah
Activate confusion
Say it and I say it
And I'll say it again

Spin yourself again
It's what I'm feeling like
In yourself and then
Then I act like me
Give yourself away

Spin yourself again
Now my sun goes down
In yourself and then
And my moon goes up
Give yourself away

The devil comin' on (new zone)
Oh, I think this is it
I'm never gonna stop it (new zone)
It's so interesting
My, my, my, my
Magic and illusion
I never, never, never
Wanna take it away

Don't feel like I belong (new zone)
Do you think I am in?
My personality is a medium fit (new zone)
Da-da, da-da
Dali says to Duchamp
Say it and I say it
And I'll say it again

Spin yourself again
It's what I'm feeling like
In yourself and then
Then I act like me
Give yourself away

Spin yourself again
Now my sun goes down
In yourself and then
And my moon goes up
Give yourself away

New zone

Spin yourself again
And my moon goes up
Give yourself away
Spin yourself again
Then I act like me

High livin' all around (new zone)
Now I'm feeling the whirl (new zone)
High livin' all around
And I'm feeling the whirl (new zone)
High livin' all around (new zone)
And I'm feeling the whirl (new zone)
High livin' all around
Now I'm living the whirl
