Send me plenty poison candy
Send me bitter wine
Send me roses, dull and scentless
Who has tastes like mine?
Take me blindfold to some graveyard
Where stone angels fear to tread
When I have you drunk on silence
I'll tell you what the vampire said.
Share your nightmares, ride them with me
Share your childhood fears
See what moonlight does to a knifeblade
Quietly - lest she hears
Ah, sweet nightshade lovely hemlock
Yew tree berries are so red
When I have you drunk on danger
I'll show you how the vampire bled
And by the way, it isn't true about silver
Look I'm wearing just as much as you
Black's a little cliched sure - but it hides the stains
Isn't it a comfort after all to know that much is true - ah...
Are you scared yet? Well, you should be
This is my first time
I find graveyards so romantic
And this mist is fine
You said you were mine forever
Foolish, but that's what you said
When I have you drunk on passion -
I'll show you how - I'll show you how
I'll show you how the vampire - fed...
