lyrics

sheena was a punk rocker
sheena was a punk rocker
you were the song you wore it well
it was your past it was your time it was your time
show me every stitch you wore
show me every uniform
it was your past it was your time
it was your past i want
i want you back in life again
coursing blood again
i want you in your gloom again
needles tear my skin again
sheena was a punk rocker
sheena was a punk rocker
you were the song you wore it well
it was your past it was your time it was your time
i want you back in life again
coursing blood again
i want you in your gloom again
needles tear my skin again
in your perfect gloom
no outsiders room
nothing needs be said
victim to 'bela lugosi's dead'
in your perfect gloom
no outsiders room
nothing needs be said
victim to bela la...
victim to bela la...
victim to bela la...
victim to bela lugosi's dead

.
'Sheena Was a Punk Rocker (She's a Fan)' was my first attempt at writing what became the 'Transparent In Black' EP opening track 'She's a Fan'. In the process of is construction I used a lyric from the Ramones' song, 'Sheena Is a Punk Rocker' as a placeholder,. What I wrote as a middle section eventually ended up the core for the song instead, you hear this at the end (the Bela Lugosi bits), replacing all the 'Sheena' parts. But I also like this version as an alternative.
