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
