Vampyre With A Healthy Appetite Lyrics

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
