Well I know a cabaret Down a blackened street Where all the darkest knaves And darkest villains meet Theyll drink the darkest booze Smoking the foulest weeds If youve 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 Id be a liar true Her band was cold as ice Under the spotlight shining blue Whats this odd taste in my drink? Startin not to care what anybody thinks Say what you will, Im gettin outta this place Whats this odd taste in my drink? Im startin not to care what anybody thinks Say what you will, Im gettin outta this place Well She said, Son, take my hand Youve got a trustworthy face I said, I dig your band Now lets get outta this place She lead me to a room With a suspicious smell I soon fell asleep And I woke up in hell Whats this odd taste in my drink? Startin not to care what anybody thinks Say what you will, Im gettin outta this place Whats this odd taste in my drink? Im startin not to care what anybody thinks Say what you will, Im gettin outta this place When I woke up again I was tied to the wall My shirt was to my waist Felt like Id 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 cabarets veins And they ended at the bartenders 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? Whats this odd taste in my drink? Startin not to care what anybody thinks Say what you will, Im gettin outta this place Whats this odd taste in my drink? Im startin not to care what anybody thinks Say what you will, Im gettin outta this place
