21st century vampires
it was a wednesday night
and I remember it well
the freaks were out in force
and looking to raise hell
there was pleather and black
as far as the eye could sea
and the room was awash
with androgyny
you'd look at some of them and had to think
it was a phase
we were surrounded by candles
and a dry-ice haze
but most of them were drinking pbr
right out of the can
beside a few out of place looking
nascar fans
vampires don't like techno any more
they don't listen to breakbeat or trance like before
they've traded in concrete blonde for the white stripes
2 a.m. for them is really a late night
vampires don't like techno any more
back in the 90's there was the club
called the rusty cage
and moby, nine inch nails and ministry
were all the rage
marilyn manson was going
like he would never stop
now I hear he works the graveyard
at the IHOP
don't get me wrong I ain't a-fuckin'
with the gothic scene
I've been known to listen to these bands
a time or three
except for manson whose career was built
on bullshit sleaze
I'll have the pancakes, bacon
scrambled eggs with cheese
vampires don't like techno any more
they don't listen to breakbeat or trance like before
they've traded in concrete blonde for the white stripes
2 a.m. for them is really a late night
vampires don't like techno any more
