Velvet pants and a big top hat
It's a little hot to be dressed like that
Down at the war memorial he's propped
In a big black cape with 12 hole docs
He, he is wearing 12 hole docs
Now he almost made his aunty faint
When he stopped at the chemist for some black nail paint
And she just stood there hand on hips
He said, "Aunty Em, it'll match my lips." I heard his
Father and his mother say, "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
Another time it was a long-gone year
He knows about them all you see
They're buried at the local cemetery
Now there's a girl in the next town that he knows
They met at a Marilyn Manson show
But they write letters and they swap spells
They'll be together one day in hell
I heard his father and his mother say, "What possessed the boy to
Dress that way?" And what will the blokes at the bottom pub say?
And the women down at her CWA?
But don't you try and bring him down
He's a lonely goth in a country town
To dress like that round here you'd guess
That he likes being close to death
He doesn't like footy, he doesn't like cars
But he didn't mind Coppola's Dracula
One day he'll be ran out this place
Run like mascara down a pale white face
He doesn't believe in a God above
But you could never doubt his mother's love
I heard his father and his mother say
"What possessed the boy to dress that way?"
And what will the blokes at the top pub say?
And the women down at her CWA?
But his eye of newt and his tongue of bat
As he walks round town with his mum's black cat
And if you'd been through all he'd been through
Then you'd turn white and you'd frown too
He's the bravest boy behind the frown
Of a lonely goth in a country town
And he's evoked the wrath of a country town
