about

"NIGHTLIFE OF THE NEW GODS" tells the tale of an intrusive proto-rave in a supposedly abandoned mansion that is secretly occupied by an undead rock star. It was the B-side of my second single and contains my first use of a vocoder on my vocals. In some circles, it was more popular than the A-side.

Synthesizers: Moog MICROMOOG, Moog POLYMOOG 203A. Effect: Moog VOCODER. Electronic Percussion: Pollard SYNDRUM QUAD.

lyrics

"NIGHTLIFE OF THE NEW GODS"

When the sun goes down,
The party returns to my open home.
When the sun goes down,
Strange guests dance with the rattle of bones.

We’re all rebels without a cause
In the nightlife of the new gods.
We’re all rebels without a cause
In the nightlife of the new gods!

When I close the door,
I’m secure in my secluded movie room.
When I close the door,
I can still hear those vague voices of doom.

We’re all rebels without a cause
In the nightlife of the new gods.
We’re all rebels without a cause
In the nightlife of the new gods!

When it dawns on me,
I’m having a drink of my own wine.
When it dawns on me,
I’m in the darkness waiting for a rhyme.

We’re all rebels without a cause
In the nightlife of the new gods.
We’re all rebels without a cause
In the nightlife of the new gods!
