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
