Lyrics
1600 Transylvania Avenue
Timing is no reason, your ID doesn't matter,
Come join the cruise now, I know this realm better.
Welcome aboard, it's all about to start!
Sir, pay the check first, then I'll tear your soul apart.
You ain't got to fear, there is nothing new.
Can't you see, you're walking on
Transylvania Avenue ...
In the shadow of the mountain, among the rocks and rolling thunder
I'll take you in the chateau, to hear the tale in all its splendor.
You'll see the chamber, and the famous love shack,
Hey, don't touch anything, we're all watching your back.
You ain't got to fear, there is nothing new.
Can't you see, you're dreaming on
Transylvania Avenue ...
I hope you're please so far, there is more to see:
Down into the dungeon come along with me
Wonder what's there cooking in the melting pot,
Take a sip, everybody, and your magic ride will start.
Come the 1600 Transylvania Avenue
I see you're getting dizzy and getting kinda still
The potion's really working, now you're ready for some thrill.
The rules are non-existent, we simply took your soul,
You've made your choice, now I play this rock'n'roll.
It's time that you should fear, there is nothing new.
Can't you see, you're trapped on
Transylvania Avenue ...
Come to 1600 Transylvania Avenue
Come to 1600 Transylvania Avenue
Come to 1600 Transylvania Avenue
Come to 1600 Transylvania Avenue
