lyrics

Slime and snails and puppy dogs tails
baby said Thunder and White Lightning
White makeup streaming in the heat
I'm good though, thanks for trying
The K1
Closer on
Trying to catch the eye of
That girl or
That boy there
They look so good all dressed in black
The boys in black
Blonde hair dyed black
The girls in black
They look so good all dressed in black

Suit and tie, hair short and styled
Grown up job, pension, rent to pay for
But once a goth always a goth
So when you head out that door
On the weekend
With your friends
Black No 1 in your hair
The Outfit
The Mindset
You look so good all dressed in black
The girls in black
Red Hair dyed black
The boys in black
You look so good all dressed in black
