Verse
It all began on a rainy Sunday in New Orleans,
Thats when our hero had a baby, a girl she would baptize and keep
Who in turn would have a baby before she'd turn 18
Who in turn went fuckin' crazy trying to make ends meet
Who in turn would take a dayjob and at night would turn to the streets
Chorus
(And we)
Knew her as a Vampire, the last one of our mold
We knew her as a Vampire, lost and all alone
We were at St. Bonaventure on the day she sold her soul
The sky was dark and the summer breeze grew cold
Verse
In the day, she was a research assistant for Professor McGee
Who was famed for bein part of a growing suburban elite
Who rested on their laurels on some feigned suburban mystique
Chorus
Dressed like a Vampire she ran out on her own
Straight through the sunshine to the darkness of her home
She thanked JD Salinger for the endless stream of quotes
Everytime she stumbled through his prose
She thought about this boy we used to know
Solo
(from a long long time ago!)
Chorus
Raise all Chords)
Who died in a war for the Empire so they mailed his medals home
Who cut a deal with Lucifer who raised up all his bones
Who dressed like a salamander with his multicolored clothes
But all-in-all he was a safe suburban clone!
And when you're a Vampire you're always on your own
When you're a Vampire they won't leave you alone
When you're a vampire you're always on your toes
When you're a Vampire you're owned!
And I've been feelin like a vampire!
