The Cult

The Cult are a British rock band formed in 1983. They gained a dedicated following in Britain in the mid 1980s as a post-punk band with singles such as "She Sells Sanctuary", before breaking mainstream in the United States in the late 1980s as a hard rock band with singles such as "Love Removal Machine" and "Fire Woman". The band fuse a "heavy metal revivalist" sound with the "pseudo-mysticism ... of The Doors [and] the guitar-orchestrations of Led Zeppelin ... while adding touches of post-punk goth rock".

See his bones across the dust

On the road to Zap city

Devil's slow to recognize 

Whether we all live in Zap city

Young girls fly to the beaches

Take me now boys

Take me now preachers

Santify Sanctify

To the old heat, Zap city



Zap City, she's so pretty

Win all day, more than too many

Zap City, she's so pretty

The girl of your dreams



Live in sanction, sandy girls

Hot on Route 66 to Zap City

Another day in paradise

Metropolis moves like a hungry wolf

Hungry wolf

Dusky palm trees, are they real?

Line the roadside to zap city

Buildings red, life on the sky

Dancin' drug addicts real so far



Zap City, she's so pretty

Win all day, more than too many

Zap City, she's so pretty

The girl of your dreams



Gasoline, mescaline

I'm praying she-dog bites

Beauty queens wrapped up inside

Gettin' hot, stayin' up all night

Siren's cry breaks through the night

God, Oh he's gone to fly

Zap City, you know it's so pretty

She's so God damn pretty
