Chorus:
I got the ways and means
to New Orleans I'm going
down by the river
where it's warm and green
I'm gonna have a drink, and walk around
I got a lot to think about oh yeah
There's a rocking chair by the window
down the hall
I hear something in the shadow
down the hall
O you where a vampire and now I am
nothing at all
O you where a vampire and now I am
nothing at all
(Chorus)
They used to dance in the garden in the
middle of the night
They used to dance in the garden in the
middle of the night
They were naked as the day they were
born skin all bone-china white
O you were a vampire
and I may never see the light
(Chorus)
The Beast
The prey of the beast screamed
bloody murder
the line is so fine between
hoping and hurting
former believers they beg for release
as love looking down on them
Smiles and picks his teeth
trapped in between heaven and hell
he knows all the secrets
and don't want to tell
there's nowhere to run and there's
nowhere to hide
love knows you all too well
He will find you
Love is the ghost haunting your head
love is the killer you thought
was your friend
love is the creature who lives
in the dark
sneaks up, will stick you
and painfully pick you apart
Love is a poet, love sings the songs
pointing his finger you follow along
voices are calling,
the monster wants out of you
paws you and claws you, you try not to fall
Love is the leech, sucking you up
love is a vampire, drunk on your blood
love is the beast that will
tear out your heart
hungrily lick it and
painfully pick it apart
(Repeats)
Love is a ghost, haunting your head
love is the killer you thought
was your friend
Love is the teacher who lives in the dark
sneak up and stick you
and painfully pick you apart
