Vampire

Dm Am Dm
He takes the clothes upon his back, no more,
Dm Am C Dm
then rushes out to the night with a muted roar.
Dm Am Dm
He leave town fast, pursued by all his foes—
Gm Am Dm
her body lies behind him as he goes.
Ref:
Gm Dm
Run with your delusions and all your insanity,
Gm Dm
run from retribution for what didn't have to be.
Gm Dm
Twisted deep inside, you make yourself the outcast
Am
that you want to see....
He had always known that he was somehow odd,
tossed out of grace by some unforgiving god.
He saw the creatures of the night and consciously he chose
to take their plight forever as his own.
It was in a little valley as he walked her to her home,
he realized that he had a chance, at last they were alone.
He used a knife and drank the ruby flow,
then left her body lying in the snow.
This song is based on a rumor about someone I knew in college. The rumor turned out to be false. He did, however, believe that he was a Scottish vampire, and did run away with his underage girlfriend to New Orleans within a year after Interview with a Vampire came out in the theaters. Original, eh?
