The Mountain Goats
Damn These Vampires
[Verse 1]
Brave young cowboys of the near north side
Mount those bridge rails, ride all night
Scream when captured, arch your back
Let this whole town hear your knuckles crack
[Verse 2]
Sapphire Trans-Am, high beams in vain
Drive wild broncos down the plain
Push up to the corner where the turbines hiss
Someday we won't remember this
[Chorus 1]
Crawl 'til dawn
On my hands and knees
Goddamn these vampires
For what they've done to me
[Verse 3]
Tie those horses to the post outside
And let those glass doors open wide
And in their surface, see two young, savage things
Barely worth remembering
[Verse 4]
Feast like pagans, never get enough
Sleep like dead men, wake up like dead men
And when the sun comes, try not to hate the light
Someday we'll try to walk upright
[Chorus 2]
Crawl 'til dawn
On my hands and knees
Goddamn these bite marks
Deep in my arteries
[Chorus 1]
Crawl 'til dawn
On my hands and knees
Goddamn these vampires
For what they've done to me
