Lyrics

Well, this city's so mean
That the dogs don't bark
But there's a rock 'n' roll scene
That's waiting in the dark
Where the cheap perfume
Goes straight to your heart
Oh, but something's wrong
With everything in the place
Hey, what's wrong with this picture
Can you find the mistakes
We come in last in the human race
Oh, do the red light rock
Down at the horror house
It's an electric shock
That makes your veins pop out
Works on your nerves
To make you twist and shout
Well, I fell asleep dancing
To a rocking beat
Yeah, I fell asleep dancing
To the noise in the street
But when I woke up this morning
I was still on my feet
Oh, do the red light rock
Down at the horror house
It's an electric shock
That makes your veins pop out
Works on your nerves
To make you twist and shout...
