Vampire

Wish I was a vampire
A sophisticated vampire
Yeah I would rather be a vampire than a human coz they live like rock stars
Wish I was a vampire
A Transylvanian vampire
Yeah I would terrorise the villages and bite them all to make more vampires
Wish I was a vampire
A metrosexual vampire
Yeah I would stand there looking bored in the middle of a nightclub dancefloor
Wish I was a vampire
An immortal vampire
I would keep my wives and husbands in their coffins in the loft of my apartment
Wish I was a vampire
A demoniacal vampire
I would sleep among the bells with my friends the pipistrelles and have nightmares
Wish I was a vampire
A carnivorous vampire
Yeah I could cope with all the inconveniences that are suffered by vampires
Yeah I could hide away from daylight
And avoid the smell of garlic
I could never go to churches
I could never meet a Harker
I could never wear silver
Never wash in holy water
I could never let my virgins carry sharpened sticks or bricks
Never look in the mirror

Bloodsucker

The night is long and sleep is not my friend
A hint of rest is all I need
The night is dark and full of loathsome beasts
I am the target of their greed
There’s something crawling up my trouserleg
Maybe a cockroach or a centipede
One of the venomous varieties
There’s something buzzing at my windowpane
Yeah a mosquito or a tsetse fly
Probably carrying the plague
The sun has hung his hat upon the sky
The moon’s a mirror of my skin
I hear the scuttling of tiny feet
I feel the beat of tiny wings
A single sheet is like a tourniquet
I lose my pillow lest I suffocate
I am as naked as the day
The shadows crowding in around me
The worries scratching at my wall
I wall myself into my cave
The clock’s tickin like a hammer on an anvil
The fly’s buzzin like a chainsaw cutting down a tree
Time crawls like a bloodsucker, like a soulsapper

Nightcrawler

|
The streets are shining like silver
The mercury’s rising
Familiar and unfamiliar
Something catches my eye
Hey, night crawler
Crawlin around when the sun goes down
Night crawler
Haunting the shadiest parts of town
Crawlin where the day trippers fear to tread
Rollin in the gutters where the transient bled
Hey night crawler
Live your life and I’ll live mine
Imagine the helpless childhood
Grubbing in the stink and the slime
Imagine then the transformation
Twitching your wings
Hey, night crawler
Stretched and pale like the face of a clown
Night crawler
Haunting the shadiest parts of town
Yeah wishin you could scurry and fly
Crawling on your belly while you dream of the sky
Hey night crawler
Live your life and I’ll live mine

Treacle

Please don’t ask how I’m feeling
You may not like my reply
It might open the floodgates
It might uncover the lie
Not all that glitters is gold
Not all that twinkle are stars
The wheels are spinning beneath me
Can’t keep my hands on the wheel
And I cannot tell the difference
Between the fake and the real
It feels like wading through treacle
It feels like swimming with sharks
Can’t keep an eye on the future
When I am lost in the dark
I take a moment to inhale
I feel it catch in my lungs
I feel the anger rising
I feel it burning my tongue
