Mekons Club Mekon
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.
