Club Mekon

when i was just seventeen sex no longer held a mystery

i saw it as a commodity, to be bought and sold like rock n' roll...

day by day i plunged deeper into a world of cheap sensation,

this held a great attraction for me and i dreamt of my own club

and when i danced and saw you dance i saw a gambling room in the back

with prostitutes skilled in the art of tango, lies, and exploitation

my club is open to all the brightest lights you ever saw

the darkest corners for having fun happy faces no questions asked

late one night the club was heaving, i saw a vampyre move across the floor

old and white with a silver cane lusting for youth through the mirror

and when i danced and saw you dance i saw a world where the dead are worshipped

this world belongs to them now they can keep it,

i live alone and i walk the dark edge of the shoplights shadow,

in each display a private hell, name your price you're up for sale.
