As New Orleans slips far away
|
When the gas lights dim and the street cars fade
|
When the beast within takes on a new shape
|
The blood runs cold make no mistake
|
|
You're just a vampyre with a healthy appetite
|
And you stay awake half the night
|
|
A band strikes up and they're starting to play
|
When the sirens wail but they're way too late
|
The crowds don't see they're drunk anyway
|
The inquest said it was coming her way
|
|
You're just a vampyre with a healthy appetite
|
And you stay awake half the night
|
|
Well you ran to ground as you always do
|
And then they finally caught up with you
|
Well they sent you down and Old Smokey was waiting
|
But pressure groups being what they are these days
|
You were released after five years at a funny farm
|
In upstate bankrupt New York
|
To walk the streets once more
|
