Club Mekon

Lyrics for 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 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 was 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 in 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 shoplight's shadow In each display a private hell Nailing your prize, you're up for sale 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
