Vampires And Lovers Lyrics

I read a story

A familiar tale

Fireside folklore

Passed down through the ages

Women in velvet

Their lovers in black

The heat of a kiss

On the nape of a neck



And turning the pages

I entered the dream

White shirts

Full skirts

On the streets of old Orleans

I felt the passion

The danger within

I longed for romance

I longed for sin



Vampires and lovers

We are who we are



Vampires and lovers

They're really not so far apart

We're vampires and lovers

We do as we please

Love me

Drink me slowly

Kiss me till I

Bleed



Haven't you loved someone

With such a rage

You're criminal

Criminal

Freed from your mortal cage

Just for one second

Both beauty and plague

For the life that you love

For the flesh that you crave



Vampires and lovers

We are who we are

Vampires and lovers

They're really not so far apart

We're vampires nand lovers

We do as we please

Love me

Drink me slowly

Kiss me till I

Bleed.
