Through the red velvet curtains to the warm inside
Make mine a metaphor with no ice
Three girls purr up like the brides of Dracula
With the accents from the same area
It was Eurodisco, I said they're playing our song
She said "you're paying, you can't be wrong"
Despite all sense she felt great
I focused on the mirror ball as I faded away
I went down to the bar of the Cat Club
I crossed my heart and hoped to die at the Cat Club
Through another velvet curtain to the private booth
I was getting economical with tomorrow's truth
I couldn't second guess the silk feel of her dress
The silk fell all around me, the lights blurred round the room
I went down to the bar of the Cat Club
I crossed my heart and hoped to die at the Cat Club
