I'd be thinner

I'd be taller

Go clubbing in my collar

With skin pale as a moth

Dressed in black, I'd go creepin'

While the normal folk are sleepin'

If I only were a Goth

With my hair up, I'd look fancy

Like Siouxsie and the Banshees

With silk or velvet cloth

Dressed in boots, never sandals

And the room would be lit with candles

If I only were a Goth



Yes, I'd wanna die

From the bottom of my heart impure

Would I like another clove? Well sure!

And after that we'll go listen to The Cure



I'd pretend to be a vampire

Like in stories 'round the campfire

I'd suck your bloody froth

Yes, the thing I'd be best at

Is impersonating Lestat

If I only were a Goth



In my casket purse I'm toutin'

Einsturzende Neubauten

And pagan hymns to Thoth

Yes, the world would be depressing

Over death I'd be obsessing

An'd this corpse that I'm undressing

Would be sexier, I'm guessing

With my diet I'd get scurvy

And I'd worship Peter Murphy

If I only were a Goth
