Alright

I'm breathing to the dead
With a billy club in my hand
Jack the Ripper said
What
She married a monster
On the very last day
She turned around and said
What
I was a teenage
A something or other
With a church fireman
What

Vampire lovers in palm bikinis said
Uh huh huh, Uh huh huh, Uh huh huh, Uh huh huh 
Cannibal man and the jungle girls say
Uh huh huh, Uh huh huh, Uh huh huh, Uh huh huh 

Let's go

A black cobweb
A Fu Manchu
They do not know what to do
What
I got a motel
With the red eyes and
I can hear screaming
What
A real mastermind
A genius of some kind
My God does not understand

Vampire lovers in palm bikinis said
Uh huh huh, Uh huh huh, Uh huh huh, Uh huh huh 
Cannibal man and the jungle girls say
Uh huh huh, Uh huh huh, Uh huh huh, Uh huh huh 

A midnight offering
And the mini skirts 
I missed ol' rock and roll

Fate and chili dogs
Knives and pom poms
Knives and pom poms

Rave on with me
Rave on with me
Rave on with me

Vampire lovers in palm bikinis said
Uh huh huh, Uh huh huh, Uh huh huh, Uh huh huh 
Cannibal man and the jungle girls say
Uh huh huh, Uh huh huh, Uh huh huh, Uh huh huh 

Rave on with it
Rave on with it
Rave on with it

On and on

Rave on with it
Rave on with it 
Rave on with it

On and on
