Vampire

Vampire
1. Vampire


Vampire
(verse 1)
the town mistress gets out of her bed
and stands next to the billowing crimson curtains
the full moon out tonight
illuminates the town below

Constance looks at the man in her bed
looks at the ring on his finger
that she didn't place there
he can't give her what she wants
but she constantly has a need

so she slips out the door
heads to the kitchen because wine, she wants more
pours herself a glass, puts in in her hand to clasp
looks at the marble, she's got it real nice
in the house that was bought by the mayor
he didn't think twice
her electricity stays on thanks to Ronnie the banker
all these men, all these sins, they'll pay the price

(chorus)
even under this velvet moon
Constance dances on the edge of a knife
why does she have to do to have love in this pathetic life?
even if she had eternity like a vampire
she'd spend it alone with a body that burns like fire
wishing, craving, desiring
the one thing she flirts with but never has
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
gazing at the man in her satin sheets
how can he sleep so peacefully
in the same place she has been beat?
and ever so carefully
with her plum lips, she grazes his and he winces
turns over without waking from his sweet dream

feeling rejected, practically dejected
she throws her glass at the wall
pulls her hair loose, lets it down, ready for it all
the beauty becomes a nightmare
and he got up with a scare

(chorus)
even under this velvet moon
Constance dances on the edge of a knife
why does she have to do to have love in this pathetic life?
even if she had eternity like a vampire
she'd spend it alone with a body that burns like fire
wishing, craving, desiring
the one thing she flirts with but never has
(end chorus)

(bridge)
she chases him just to watch him run
hoping even though she's crazy
he'll embrace her instead of watching her burn
but he doesn't slow down
and she knows he won't tell anyone in town
she's a dirty little secret
he's a man who just wants to feel the heat it
creates because no matter how old she is
she's an ever glowing candle
and she's more than any man can handle

(chorus)
even under this velvet moon
Constance dances on the edge of a knife
why does she have to do to have love in this pathetic life?
even if she had eternity like a vampire
she'd spend it alone with a body that burns like fire
wishing, craving, desiring
the one thing she flirts with but never has
even under this velvet moon
Constance dances on the edge of a knife
why does she have to do to have love in this pathetic life?
even if she had eternity like a vampire
she'd spend it alone with a body that burns like fire
wishing, craving, desiring
the one thing she flirts with but never has
the one thing she wants but will never have
(end chorus)

Unrequited Finally

Unrequited Finally 1. Unrequited Finally Unrequited Finally (verse 1) you and I together made a solemn unspoken oath a secret never told is the very one best kept I shy away when our eyes suddenly meet like I've got a secret identity that I've just got to keep I long to get out of here and feel the spring air at night I can dream only of your long hair we snuck off when no one was looking now you act like you don't know me what is all of this? (chorus) I like that, but why do I like that? my first fantasy and my last taste of love my feelings awakened and fell from above my heart burst from happiness like an attack I like that, but why do I like that? you moved on, but I'm still stuck just chop it up to being romantically sick this is what's called unrequited love finally (end chorus) (verse 2) the lips you kissed are forever sealed shut but they pinned me against the tiled bathroom wall your friends raised eyebrows and asked questions you said not to worry because ...

Mystery Butterfly

Mystery Butterfly 1. Mystery Butterfly Mystery Butterfly (verse 1) open your shiny eyes in the silent night I swooped down into the mystery sneaking in alleyways without any sound of footsteps crouching my back in seductive black cat pose the moonlight carries a shadow on its back of my silhouette "come here" it smiles as it beckons to me it's tempting a contour of desire squirms in the sleepless city it wanders in the guise of a guardian angel to me it holds piece of love without a place to go in its arm as if they're precious treasures as you fall to sleep blissfully are you somewhere having a good dream ignorantly being happy as anyone would want the starry sky kisses you it's time for good children to go to bed to sleep (chorus) don't look at me, don't catch me don't try to be what's become of me I'm a butterfly who got lost in the dark freely singing with monochrome wings no one can see I'm hiding away in your heavy heart (end chorus) ...
