Текст песни: The Anthropophagists' Club + перевод

Well

I know a cabaret

Down a blackened street

Where all the darkest knaves

And darkest villains meet

They’ll drink the darkest booze

Smoking the foulest weeds

If you’ve ever had an itch

Someone there can meet your needs

Well

I fell down there

I barely got back up again

I saw her coal black hair

I saw her porcelain skin

If I told you she sang nice

I’d be a liar true

Her band was cold as ice

Under the spotlight shining blue

What’s this odd taste in my drink?

Startin' not to care what anybody thinks

Say what you will, I’m gettin' outta this place

What’s this odd taste in my drink?

I’m startin' not to care what anybody thinks

Say what you will, I’m gettin' outta this place

Well

She said, «Son, take my hand

You’ve got a trustworthy face»

I said, «I dig your band

Now let’s get outta this place»

She lead me to a room

With a suspicious smell

I soon fell asleep

And I woke up in hell

What’s this odd taste in my drink?

Startin' not to care what anybody thinks

Say what you will, I’m gettin' outta this place

What’s this odd taste in my drink?

I’m startin' not to care what anybody thinks

Say what you will, I’m gettin' outta this place

When I woke up again

I was tied to the wall

My shirt was to my waist

Felt like I’d been in a brawl

There were all kinds of tubes

Flowing steady from my veins

Pumping from arms and chest

And legs and one was hooked to my brains

There were tubes of glass

From my shoulders to my ass

And they mixed in a bowl of the crap

And the cauldron drained

Into the cabaret’s veins

And they ended at the bartender’s tap

So when he filled a mug

A pint, liter, or jug

It was me that was in their tank

Before I turn bereft

Before my consciousness left

I thought who had I drank?

What’s this odd taste in my drink?

Startin' not to care what anybody thinks

Say what you will, I’m gettin' outta this place

What’s this odd taste in my drink?

I’m startin' not to care what anybody thinks

Say what you will, I’m gettin' outta this place
