Down near the war memorial he's propped

In a big balck cape and twelve hole docs

Now he almost made his auntie faint
When he stopped at the chemist for some black nail paint
A
I heard his mother and his father say
F#m
"What possessed the boy to dress that way?"

But don't you try and bring him down

He's a lonely goth in a country town

Now his father's family settled here
In another time, it was a long gone year

And the women down at her CWA?

That he likes being close to death

He didn't mind Coppolla's Dracula
One day he'll be rid of this place

As he walks around town with his mum's black cat

And if you'd been through all he's been through
