Mudd Club [Live At The Palladium - 10/31/81 - Show 1]

[Intro]
Here we are
At the Mudd Club, y'all
I hope enjoy yourself
'Cause the show is about to begin

[Chorus]
Hey, they're really dancin'
They're on auto-destruct
On the floor
On the pipe
Bouncin' off-a the wall
Hey, the people here are really
Tearin' it up
On the side
In the back
By the front of the stage
They ain't really crazy
You can take it from me
I should know
Cause I go
Every time I'm in town
If you never tried it
Lemme straighten you out
It's the best kinda place
To unfasten yourself (Mudd Club)

[Verse 1]
All the way downtown (Mudd Club)
They ain't messin' around (Mudd Club)
Just turn to the left 'n look around
Because it's there somewhere
If you ain't found it, better hurry up
The folks down there's on auto-destruct
*And so can you be too*
The fact of the matter
*It's made for you*

[Verse 2]
Try it on a Saturday about four o'clock in
The morning
Or even on a Monday at midnight
When there's just a few of them
Fabulous Poodles
Doin' the Peppermint Twist for real
In a black sack dresses with nine inch heels
And then a guy with a blue mohawk comes in (Hoi-oi-oi-oi)
In serious leather (Hoi-oi-oi-oi)

[Verse 3]
And all the rest of whom for which
To whensonever of partially
Indeterminate
Bio-chemical degradation
Seek the path to the sudsy yellow nozzle
Of their foaming nocturnal
Parametric digital whole-wheat
Inter-faith
Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta (Hoi-oi-oi-oi)

[Verse 4]
In serious leather (Hoi-oi-oi-oi)
Serious chains (Hoi-oi-oi-oi)
Serious clothing (Hoi-oi-oi-oi)
From when they come downtown
From the ruins of Studio 54
To twist and frugg
In an arrogant gesture
To the best of what the 20th century
Has to offer
*At the Mudd Club*
Al Malkin is down there right now
Looking for a Virgin with nice breath
*Why, maybe it's you*
And you don't even know it!

[Chorus]
Hey, they're really dancin'
They're on auto-destruct
On the floor
On the pipe
Bouncin' off-a the wall
Hey, the people here are really
Tearin' it up
On the side
In the back
By the front of the stage
They ain't really crazy
You can take it from me
I should know
Cause I go
Every time I'm in town
If you never tried it
Lemme straighten you out
It's the best kinda place
To unfasten yourself
