lyrics

There's a vampire in this town
And I waited for her to come around
Well she knew my name
And from where I had came
And laid her claim to my neck

There's a vampire in this town
And it's just like her to hang around
Till the bar was closed
And then outside in the snow
She brought me below the deck

The witchin' in your kitchen was too much for the morning
And Lucia did ask ya, "Which human did you ruin?"

Oh you know him, she said,
I put him in my bed
Oh, how I laid him bare
He was the guitar player at the show last night
And everyone in town was there

Someone had to humble him
And that someone was me
Someone had to take him in
And make him bleed

I don't think he'll be staying
But you should see the claim I've lain to his neck

There's a vampire in this town
And she's waiting for you to come around
If you dress just right on a really chilly night
You just might look good enough to bite
