lyrics

Happy Ending Vampire Story

She talks in tongues, have you heard about her?
Her work is never done and she crawls about on all fours for fun
In the land of the living she keeps on giving

She talks in tongues
And I love her as a fable I will help her if I'm able
She wore white to my funeral, she wore white to my funeral

There are holes in her memory, there are coals in her eyes
There are spaces in the places where her loving used to hide
She is cold she is dead and she drinks the blood of strangers
And I'd like to get to know her more despite the obvious dangers

Maybe this will be
A happy ending vampire story
Maybe

I have worked for the devil, I’ve run errands for the priest
I am always overworked and underpaid to say the least
So I'm tired of pleasing masters I am pleased to take a mistress
Of the rich she is the richest she has seven lovely sisters

Maybe when she bites me I bite back
Maybe when I smile she smiles back

I have staked my heart on her, I'll have to stake her in the heart
I like silver I like garlic I like sunshine she likes art
But then I think about her often and my heart begins to soften
And I invite her in as she grins a toothy grin
