about

Ever considered dating a vampire? On the one hand, they’re a controlling jerkwad, but on the other, they’re all tragic and stuff, and they sparkle as they brood. It's a hard choice, but maybe - just maybe! - I can offer some helpful advice...

lyrics

It's come to my attention, dear friend, that nowadays
you’re dating a vampire pale and charming.
Handsome obsessive figure, with passions all ablaze
who stalks the night and also stalks his darling.

How is he feeling? You don't need to inquire.
You don't need to see his face, or make him wear a mood ring.
You'll be the first to know if he’s lashing out or just feeling dire;
anyway, that handsome jerkface is always brooding.

He cuts you off, keeps you away from family.
Jealous of your friends... what kind of man is he?
You know this is wrong,
and yet you want to think it's right
He is strong, but his strength isn't used
For taking back the night.
Oh la da da da daaa...
Oh la da da da, do, do do
La da da da daaa...
Oh la da da da, do, do do do do.


His gothic body is cold in your embrace,
but not as cold as his voice on the phone.
He made you think you need him, like you need his pallid face.
You're less safe in his arms than when you are alone.

His every problem's excused by his troubled past.
You know he loves you, baby, so why are you shaking?
He's slowly draining all the blood out from his little flask…
Now might be a good time for escaping.

He cuts you off, keeps you away from family.
Jealous of your friends... what kind of man is he?
You know this is wrong,
and yet you want to think it's right
He is strong, but his strength isn't used
For taking back the night.
Oh la da da da daaa...
Oh la da da da, doo, doo do.
La da da da daaa...
Oh la da da da, do, do do do do.
Do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do do.
