rentboy's stairs

Yeah This electric dance You dance all night And never wonder why And say goodbye Electric dance, that sweet romance it lift you you up if you take the chance We caught the beat of dancing feet, We cruised along the city street, And stopped beneath the Rent boy's Stairs. Inside, above the smoke and flares, We heard the loud DJ declares The 'Toxic' hit of Britney Spears. Yeah This electric dance You dance all night And never wonder why And say goodbye Like strange and digital grotesque, with silhouette of the burlesque, The shadows raced across the screen. We watched the ghostly dancers pace, To sound of drum and heavy Bass, Like pixels fading from the scene. Yeah This electric dance You dance all night And never wonder why And say goodbye like boy shaped flesh-jacks Slim silhouetted dead brought-back They started up the Vogue and chill. They took each other by the hips And struck the death-drop dips Their laughter echoed thin and shrill. Electric dance, that sweet romance it lift you you up if you take the chance Electric dance, that sweet romance it lift you you up if you take the chance Sometimes a clockwork twink was pressed Against a phantom lover’s chest, Sometimes they synced their lips to sing. Sometimes a twitching Mario-nette Came out, and smoked a ciga-rette, Upon the steps, a living thing Electric dance, that sweet romance it lift you you up if you take the chance that sweet romance it lift you you up if you take the chance Then, turning to my guy, I said, 'The dead are dancing with the dead, The glitter spins along more glitter.' But he—he heard the thumping Bass, And left my side to join the race, Love passed into the small bed-sitter. Electric dance, Electric dance, that sweet romance it lift you you up if you take the chance that sweet romance it lift you you up if you take the chance Then suddenly the speakers gave, The dancers wearied of the rave, The shadows ceased to jump for joy. And down the long and silent street, The dawn, with silver-sneaker'd feet, Crept like a frightened, lonely boy. Yeah This electric dance You danced all night wondered why he said goodbye
