(Verse 1) I walked into the diner out on Highway Nine The rain was hitting hard against the neon sign I dropped a shiny nickel in the slot so deep To wake a melody that should have stayed asleep The chrome started glowing with a wicked purple light (Chorus) Oh, the cursed jukebox is spinning a track A gothic rockabilly beat that’s holding me back The saxophone is crying like a phantom in pain While we dance forever in the shadow and rain Oh baby, don't leave me here all alone (Verse 2) The waitress came around but she didn't have a face Just a retro uniform from a haunted place She poured a cup of coffee that was black as night And vanished in a second from my mortal sight While the bass line kept thumping through the floorboards below (Chorus) Oh, the cursed jukebox is spinning a track A gothic rockabilly beat that’s holding me back The saxophone is crying like a phantom in pain While we dance forever in the shadow and rain Oh baby, don't leave me here all alone (Verse 3) You stepped out of a shadow wearing leather and lace With a pale crimson lipstick on your ghostly face You grabbed me by the hand and we began to spin To a heavy vintage rhythm full of grief and sin The record kept on turning on its turntable throne (Chorus) Oh, the cursed jukebox is spinning a track A gothic rockabilly beat that’s holding me back The saxophone is crying like a phantom in pain While we dance forever in the shadow and rain Oh baby, don't leave me here all alone (Verse 4) I tried to find the exit but the doors were tight Locked up from the outside by the dead of night The clock upon the wall was running in reverse Trapping our romance in a rockabilly curse With analog static screaming right through our ears (Chorus) Oh, the cursed jukebox is spinning a track A gothic rockabilly beat that’s holding me back The saxophone is crying like a phantom in pain While we dance forever in the shadow and rain Oh baby, don't leave me here all alone (Verse 5) So turn the volume up and let the speakers blow We’ve got nowhere to run and nowhere else to go Two timeless teenagers trapped inside the groove While the midnight needle never wants to move Forever spinning on a cursed forty-five (Chorus) Oh, the cursed jukebox is spinning a track A gothic rockabilly beat that’s holding me back The saxophone is crying like a phantom in pain While we dance forever in the shadow and rain Oh baby, don't leave me here all alone
