Sonic adventurers, punk rock fundamentalists, exuberant luddites, willing outcasts.

When I was just 17
G G C C
Sex no longer held a mystery
G G D D
I saw it as a commodity
G C D G
To be bought and sold like rock and roll
G D
Day by day I plunged deeper
G
Into a world of cheap sensation
C
This held a great attraction for me
D G
And I dreamt of my own club
CCCC CCCC
And when I danced, And saw you dance
CCCC C C
I saw a gambling room in the back
G C
With prostitutes skilled in the art
D G
Of tango lies and exploitation
G G
My club is open to all
G C
The brightest lights you ever saw
G D
The darkest corners for having fun
G C D G
Happy faces no questions asked
G D
Late one night the club was heaving
G
I saw a vampire move across the floor
C
Old and white with a silver cane
D G
Lusting for youth through the mirror
C C
And when i danced and saw you dance
C
I saw a world where the dead are worshipped
G C D G
This world belongs to them now they can keep it,
G D
I live alone and I walk the dark edge
G
Of the shoplights shadow,
G C
In each display a private hell
D G
Name your price you're up for sale.
