lyrics

Hurry up, there's not much time
Before the meat-grind music will cease to chime
The ladies are a hoppin' to the hip-hop rhyme
As they jiggle and they giggle, lookin' so divine
The hour is approaching when the glaze-eyed yearn
Aching for some love to douse the midnight burn
If you wanna get some action, gotta be a stud
For no latin-hipped lover ever thanked a dud

Hey, why did I even come?
Before it was just plain fun
But now that the dance is done
It's not so amusing

Icky, sticky people all pressed up close
Their bodies dripping sweat like an oven roast
Squalor is abounding in this dancing den
While the hunter is a prowlin' for some flesh to rend
A graceful-legged beauty to the waterhole goes
Soon to be the victim of the predator's show
With preying smile and carny grin
The beastly two make the dance of skin

Hey, why did I even come?
Before it was just plain fun
But now that the dance is done
It's not so amusing
Hey, it was worth it until I came
But this flesh pot's getting lame
I'm an animal and can't be blamed
And yet I'm sure that I'll come again

How can it be?
Can it be?
That I could find this dismal scene beguiling
The acting's poor! To watch, a chore!
Not to mention the plot's a bore!
To tell the truth I think the exit's calling
These nights are all the same

Hey, why did I even come?
Before it was just plain fun
But now that the dance is done
It's not so amusing
Hey, it was worth it until I came
But this flesh pot's getting lame
I'm an animal and can't be blamed
And yet I'm sure that I'll come again

Is my destined love in here?
Does she look out with her beer?
Why do I delude myself?
She's somewhere else

Showroom Toronto, Ontario

Showroom was a band. A good band. While Toronto is a city, Showroom was a band within that city, and received praise from music critics who themselves were human beings with feelings.

Showroom made music that made people want to dance, smile, reflect, run, walk, roll over, heel, and eat dinner. Their records were projected to sell over 1,000,000,000,000 copies. Outrageous? No. Just call it true. ... more
