Parasite Ballroom

Stop clock butterfly gives sweet release,
A string of pearls breaks, call the police,
Car keys on a chain clipped to your belt,
My heart starts to melt.
I heard that spaceship pass right by,
It thundered across the midnight sky,
An ultra-super-guitar display,
But he couldn’t play.
You need to hear this:
Forget about the flowers he bought you,
Take me to the Parasite Ballroom,
And play the music louder,
Play the music louder,
Play the music loud.
A scent like some cheap eau de toilette,
In a brown bottle, it gets worse yet.
TV superstar still in her heyday,
Has soon gone away.
I saw your outline in the dark room,
The only light was from the moon,
The secrets I know, that I cannot tell,
They’d send me to hell.
You need to hear this:
Forget about the flowers he bought you,
Take me to the Parasite Ballroom,
And play the music louder,
Play the music louder,
Play the music loud.
A ghost in the works and sparks fly,
And I’m sat slowly getting high,
Midnight is exposed by the garish sun,
It’s secrets undone.
You need to hear this:
Forget about the flowers he bought you,
Take me to the Parasite Ballroom,
And play the music louder,
Play the music louder,
Play the music loud.
Bow down to the fool before you,
Take me to the Parasite Ballroom,
And play the music louder,
Play the music louder,
Play the music loud.
