 LYRICS
 
 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
 Open wide with a silver cane
 Lusting for youth in a 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 walk the dark edge
 Of the shop light shadow
 And each display a private hell
 Name you price 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
