When I was just seventeen
Sex no longer held a mystery
I saw it as a commodity
To be bought and sold like rock and 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 vampire 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 worshiped
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

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
