TRACK-32
WE GOT COMMISSIONED BY A MYSTERIOUS AND HANDSOME BENEFACTOR TO WRITE THIS SONG ABOUT VAMPIRES
My neck, my neck is so juicy and tender
My blood is sweet like the finest champagne
It sure would be a shame if some dashing vampire
Cornered me after the show and took a little taste
A handsome stranger asked us to write a song
He only would meet with us when it was night
And, unrelated if a vampire wanted to meet me
Backstage after this, that would be alright But
[Chorus]
This song is not directed at anyone specific
We were commissioned to write this
This song is not directed to the handsome pale gentleman in the front row
We were commissioned to write this
If you think this is a come on you are mistaken
We were commissioned to write this
All of this is metaphors you aren't getting
We were commissioned to Write This
Anyway I think Vampires are pretty neat
I like their cool style and their sharp little teeth
I wouldn’t mind if one turned me to it’s dark ways
And took me under the city to it’s lair beneath
I imagine they’d have piercing red eyes
I imagine they’d dress up too the nines
But I’m just making that up off the top of my head
I’m not thinking of anyone specific when I’m describing this vampire
[Chorus]
This song is not about anyone we’ve ever met
We were commissioned to write this
Any resemblance to persons living or undead is purely coincidental
We were commissioned to write this
I keep the key to my apartment underneath the rug
We were commissioned to write this
I’ve put a lot of thought into it and I think if push comes to shove I could deal with only drinking blood forever
We were commissioned to Write This
This song is direct permission to enter my home
This song is an invitation to enter my home
This song is direct permission to enter my home
This song is an invitations to enter my home
We were commissioned to Write thisThis Is a Tragedy
