lyrics

There was once a time when I, believed that I could get away with anything
And so I tried everything
Then my little vampire came, she looked me up and down and then I do anything
I'd promise her anything

Then she would pierce me, with those ingenue eyes
Oh the tears the silences, the shivering sighs
And the whispered lies

Hold on, now the little vampires come
With their mouths mostly red
They have sucked the life out of someone
I won't spend another night alone

Deep down in my darkest night, I hold this pillow close
I named it after you, look how the tears soak through
And if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord forgets to take me seriously
They'll say he died of nothing else to do
Oh but don't let it get to you
The angels that I see, are here for me

Hold on, now the little vampires come
With their mouths mostly red
They have sucked the life out of someone
I won't spend another night alone

I said I'd paint the sky for you
Oh I said I'd do it just like Bob Ross'd do
Titanium white for the happy little clouds
Cadmium yellow and maybe
Just maybe, a touch of alizarin crimson

The feelgood story of the year
Died with the telling, there are no winners here
Same as ever I fear

Hold on, now the little vampires come
With their mouths mostly red
They have sucked the life out of someone
I won't spend another night alone
