I'd be thinner, I'd be taller   Go clubbing in my collar   With skin pale as a moth   Dressed in black, I'd go creepin'   While the normal folk are sleepin'   If I only were a Goth   With my hair up, I'd look fancy   Like Siouxsie and the Banshees   With silk or velvet cloth   Dressed in boots, never sandals   And the room would be lit with candles   If I only were a Goth      Yes I'd wanna die   From the bottom of my heart impure   Would I like another clove? Well, sure   And after that, we'll go listen to The Cure      I'd pretend to be a vampire   Like in stories 'round the campfire   I'd suck your bloody froth   Yes the thing I'd be best at   Is impersonating Lestat   If I only were a Goth      In my casket purse I'm toutin'   Einsturzende Neubauten   And pagan hymns to Thoth   Yes the world would be depressing   Over death I'd be obsessing   And this corpse that I'm undressing   Would be sexier, I'm guessing   With my diet I'd get scurvy   And I'd worship Peter Murphy   If I only were a Goth
