about

This is a track we submitted for the "Horrorpunk's Not Dead! Vol. 2" compilation from We Are Horror Records (get the full thing here: wearehorrorrecords.bandcamp.com/album/horrorpunks-not-dead-vol-2).

It's one of the few tracks Doomsdale has where all of the instrumentation was done by Johnny Zombie, recorded in between a lineup change for the band.

lyrics

First date, dinner and a show.
Got the tickets from a guy I didn't know.
His mask was spooky and his voice was pretty low, but you can't beat a screening at the Metropol!

We're dying to go to the Metropol.

Popcorn, candy, and a spooky flick.
Grabbed your hand when you were scared,
a move I thought was pretty slick.
Then a scream rang off screen, it seems,
now everybody's bleeding and their eyes are turning green.

We're dying to go to the Metropol.

Hold up.
We gotta hole up.
Hold out hope that someone shows up.
But in a close up:

I see the changes are clean,
your face contorted and mean.
Now, I run terrified from my Jessica-and-Hyde.
If I stay, I'll never get away from the Metropol.

We're dying, dying.
LET'S GO!
We're dying, dying.
LET'S GO!
We're dying, dying.
LET'S GO!
At the Metropol.
