Biography:
With Abney Park's unique darkwave style, one can easily imagine inspiration drawn from fairy tales and nightmares, and recollect a past that never was. Heavy Steampunk inspiration creates style quite unlike anything else.
Abney Park began around 1997, but their popularity exploded with the onset of internet music, with much success through MP3.com in the early 2000’s. The band was a regular chart topper, often holding the number 1 – 5 positions in Goth and Darkwave, and Industrial Dance music charts.

The guitar plays a sixteenth rhythm of fifth chords throughout the song; this serves as
the chord structure for all parts, verse and chorus included.
Gm F Gm
Debbie dates daily with a boy for every finger
Gm F Gm
She leaves with one now and leaves another left to linger
Bb Am Gm F Gm
Coldly Debbie tells me it's a world of give and take
Gm F Gm
But I say "Debbie, bring it closer to the wake."

This riff is played during the bridge, which occurs after the second chorus and begins
with the lyrics "Jason jets his jag up to speeds that's past eleven."
