Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 3] My club was open to all The brightest lights you ever saw The darkest corners for having fun Happy faces no questions asked [Verse 4] Late one night the club was heaving I saw a vampire move across the floor Old and white with a silver cane Lusting for youth in the mirror [Chorus 2] And when I danced and saw you dance I saw a world where the dead are worshiped This world belongs to them Now they can keep it! [Verse 5] 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 [Chorus 2] And when I danced and saw you dance I saw a world where the dead are worshiped This world belongs to them Now they can keep it!
