"Vampire Dreams"

(Loosely based on "California Dreaming"... I mean really loose!)


All the tears are blood
And the skies are gray
I stepped out in the night
To enjoy a Broadway play

If I didn’t tell you
In my own toothy way
Living vampire dreams, dear, on such an autumn’s day!



I bit into a jerk
I found along the way
Well baby, that nose ring just got caught
On his weathered beret

I live along the river
That flows through city maze
Loving vampire dreams, dear, on these autumn days!


I know that my life sucks
You might think it's this way
But honestly, it’s just a little bite
So Adios! and, good day

My bed is just a coffin
It’s where I have to stay
Enjoy those vampire dreams, dear, come join with me today!
