The monkey ripped off your skin
And let the spiders in
Another voodoo child arrives
27 Club

The face behind the mask you wear
The leather’s wearing thin
Your orphan son is left undone
Its not a joke to him

The waters rising all around
Black snake lizard king
A bus arrives, takes him along
27 Club

Hold your cards, aces and eights
Its a funny thing
With her mojo rising, its so suprising
An L.A. Woman sings

Come now, don't wait
Showtime, don't be late

Another fool gets off the bus
At the 27 Club
Takes his seat in the scenic lounge
Where everything is free
I got no time for suicide
Its a waste of time for me

Chasing fame
Its all over now
Make a name
‘Cos you're shot down

The snowman drops some dust around
So it all begins
Nirvana's king strides through the doors
27 Club

The tears around your heart-shaped box
The mess in deepening
You didn't have a gun is what you sung...

The air is thinning all around
Lonely blonde haired boy
They found a home for Mr Jones
27 Club

The rolling stone still hesitates
At the mention of that game
Its clear to see
That the maître d'
Had a table in your name

Roll up, today
Tickets please, just one way

Another fool gets off the bus
At the 27 Club
Takes his seat in the scenic lounge
Where all the drugs are free
I got no time for your suicide
‘Cos I saw it on TV

Losing game
All over town
Such a shame
Now you're shot down
