Short Song Description:

A rock n' roll Goth chick (yes, really!) sings of her heart's desire.

Long Song Description:

In Fame Game, the spoof show based on TV talent competitions like "X Factor", one of the contestants, a rock 'n roll Goth chick (who incidentally is in with a chance of winning) sings her dark adolescent heart out.

Story Behind the Song:

The lyrics are deliberately dark and sinister, dealing with ghosts, ghouls, werewolves, etc., set against a very conventional rock ' roll groove. As well as having the fun lyrics, this song makes for a good dance number onstage.

Lyrics

Come inside my world,
Where pleasure meets pain.
Come inside my world,
You won't ever be the same!
Come inside my world,
I've got originality,
And a split personality.

I wanna be dead, Uh huh!
At seventeen, Uh huh!
Come on now, baby!
You know what I mean!

Dead! Uh huh!
At seventeen, Uh Huh!
Come on now, baby.
You know what I mean!

See the shadows dancing on the ceiling,
Can't you hear what I hear?
It's the darkness come for you,
It can smell your fear.

Follow me werewolves,
Follow me shockers,
Follow me shadows, banshees and rockers!
Follow me Spirits,
Follow me Scree,
This is our time now!

I wanna be dead, Uh huh!
At seventeen, Uh huh!
Come on now, baby!
You know what I mean!

Dead! Uh huh!
At seventeen, Uh Huh!
Come on now, baby.
You know what I mean!

Dance all creatures,
Dance all wights,
Dance all beings who live in the night.
Dance all witches,
Dance all warlocks,
It's time to listen to someone who really rocks!

I wanna be dead, Uh huh!
At seventeen, Uh huh!
Come on now, baby!
You know what I mean!

Dead! Uh huh!
At seventeen, Uh Huh!
Come on now, baby.
You know what I mean!
