Mama

Tell the girls I'm gone

To where the wicked

Don't get no rest

Living 9 to 5

Is for the broken hearted

I don't fear no love

Beauty is just a test

Midnight keeps

Falling too early

The weekend keeps

On coming too fast

I been taking my steps

Downtown at The Roxy

I sold my soul

Just to make it last

Sweet Lucy

Comes walking closer

Next to me

And by the lights off

The mirrorball

I finally see

She ain't so pretty

Not like what those

Other ghouls say

"I'm sorry Lucy"

I turn my head

And walk away

Chorus:

Dancing

I've been dancing

Dancing with the dead

Sliding

I keep sliding further

Guess it's time

That I check my head

Get away

Is what you say

But it don't matter

Much to me now

These souls

That I hang with are

The living dead

And it's too late

I'm buried 6 feet down

As the nightbreed

Fall upon the city streets

The dying crawl out

From underneath

Their shelter from the heat

They drain your lifeline

They tell you

That you got to stay

Goodnight sunlight

Into the dark I fade away

(Chorus)

Bury everything I know

Everything I say

(Chorus 2x)
