The palace flophouse,

Is a good place to be

If you ever need any help

Like if anyone's ever dead



(Mad dog, mad dog, mad dog, coming dog)

She looks onto my face

And I walked right by you

She looked onto her face

I'll never see you again



The palace flophouse,

Is a good place to be

If you ever need any help

Like if anyone's ever dead



(Mad dog, mad dog, mad dog, coming dog)

She looks onto my face

And I looked right by you

She looked onto her face

I'll never see you again



I'll never see you again
