DEAD MAN'S DANCE

The detective out prowling In corduroy pants
A midnight weasel Watching all the ants
Jonny Rockhouse is carrying his guitar case
With a phony look on his Fender face

A nun in the supermarket - Standing in the queue
Wondering what it's like to buy groceries for two
A pimp selling powder - Potshot ammunition
Jonny Rockhouse is sniffing the aircondition

Midnight in the Madhouse Super city screams
Jonny's in the limelight Dead end neon dreams

The detective in the office - Waiting for a call
A widow in white is waiting in the hall
Jonny's in a coffeehouse looking like a bum
In his head - The beating of a tom-tom drum

The rhythm of the city - Beating like a clock
He's too young to die - but too old to rock
The supermarket closed The nun waits for a chance
The Bonfires are playing The Dead Man's Dance

Midnight in the Madhouse Super city screams
Jonny's in the limelight Dead end neon dreams

The detective and the nun in a black Chevrolet
Either watch and pray or hit the hay
Jonny's in the graveyard Dancing with a stone
Using a bone as a microphone

Bonfires are burning Lightning up the sky
Life is passing like a firefly
The rhythm of the city is beating like a drum
Pa da pam pam pam Pa da pam pam pam

Midnight in the Madhouse Super city screams
Jonny's in the limelight Dead end neon dreams
