Abney Park - The Anthropophagists' Club lyrics

Well I know a cabaret Down a blackened street Where all the darkest knaves And darkest villains meet They'll drink the darkest booze Smoking the foulest weeds If you've ever had an itch Someone there can meet your needs Well I fell down there I barely got back up again I saw her coal black hair I saw her porcelain skin If I told you she sang nice I'd be a liar true Her band was cold as ice Under the spotlight shining blue What's this odd taste in my drink? Startin' not to care what anybody thinks Say what you will, I'm gettin' outta this place What's this odd taste in my drink? I'm startin' not to care what anybody thinks Say what you will, I'm gettin' outta this place Well She said, "Son, take my hand You've got a trustworthy face" I said, "I dig your band Now let's get outta this place" She lead me to a room With a suspicious smell I soon fell asleep And I woke up in hell What's this odd taste in my drink? Startin' not to care what anybody thinks Say what you will, I'm gettin' outta this place What's this odd taste in my drink? I'm startin' not to care what anybody thinks Say what you will, I'm gettin' outta this place When I woke up again I was tied to the wall My shirt was to my waist Felt like I'd been in a brawl There were all kinds of tubes Flowing steady from my veins Pumping from arms and chest And legs and one was hooked to my brains There were tubes of gla** From my shoulders to my a** And they mixed in a bowl of the crap And the cauldron drained Into the cabaret's veins And they ended at the bartender's tap So when he filled a mug A pint, liter, or jug It was me that was in their tank Before I turn bereft Before my consciousness left I thought who had I drank? What's this odd taste in my drink? Startin' not to care what anybody thinks Say what you will, I'm gettin' outta this place What's this odd taste in my drink? I'm startin' not to care what anybody thinks Say what you will, I'm gettin' outta this place
