To me a being of immortality
Who can right the wrongs we mortals make
Who can see past's past with clarity
Opportunities we fail to take
To save our planet

Even though the food they eat
Leaves us nauseous and in fear
We run and hide to get off the street
Watch your back, or you'll be the snack

Movies tend to paint different pictures
Of how these beings can be
They're cold, rarely seen human like creatures
Creatures of the night, masters of eternity

If the sun shall hit them during the day
They'll leave no single trace
But turn to ash and blow away
Scatter all over the place
But is this real?

Then you have the day walker
One who doesn't burn
Has the strength of the night stalker
Who can hear one's thoughts churn
Again, is this real?

No matter how Hollywood paints them
This will remain a fantasy
And one day a solved problem
A vampire is to me
Real or imagined

A being of immortality
Who can right the wrongs we mortals make
Who can see past's past with clarity
Opportunities we fail to take
To save our planet

A black car pulled up at the gate
Before the last clock chime
All dressed up, ready for my date
Hope I have a good time
We're leaving for our first real dance
Both of us lacking patience
We're leaving for
We're leaving for
We're on our way to take a chance

A black car pulled up at the gate
My heart is beating fast
Very glad my date wasn't late
Because he'd never last
We have arrived safely tonight
The place is full and out of sight
We have arrived
We have arrived
No longer do I feel uptight

A black car pulled up at the gate
For awhile we sat
In the car until very late
said, "Night Night" to the cat
We're at the gate for our first kiss
His lips were soft and didn't miss
We're at the gate
We're at the gate
Didn't expect to feel such bliss

As babes we bring people closer
As teenagers, we defy rules
As we grow, we lean on shoulders
Stumbling on like other fools
Lifting others we'll try
Turning out like Oli and Guy

I follow your every move
Is it so hard to believe
I'm lost in the midnight groove
So easy to achieve
You came at me with false pretenses
I fell into your trap
Lost all of my senses
Impossible to see through all the crap
My heart is all a flutter
Like icing on a cake
Tends to melt like butter
This is a huge mistake
Weeks go by as my obsessions grow
A pattern soon develops
Eat, follow, work, follow, sleep, and follow
Only you envelops
When I finally approach you
To tell you how I feel
You drop me, and ignore me
This has all been so surreal

turned on a deaf ear
enveloping sum of fear
trapped within my mind

spinning wildly
the turntable goes round
music pouring out

painting on the face
makes changes
in those who are lacking confidence
