Tiny lies are killing me
One day when I was walking
I saw you on the street
He was doing all the talking
You looked very sweet
Then I saw your face go white
I saw your shoulders sag
As you slid to the ground
He took another drag
When we are a vampire
We can make you so tired
What kind of lies are, are feeding you?
Drawn from the neck of something quite untrue
Like the man who would be king
Just because of family pride
Or the desire to be famous
Bеcause of love deniеd
When we are a vampire
We can make you so tired
Great big lies are feeding me
What lies? Big lies
Big lies? Sneaky lies
Sneaky lies? Life lies
What’s that? I’ll explain later
A temporary source of e-n-e-r-g-y
You have to find another
When you’ve sucked the last one dry
Who are you talking about?
I’m totally confused
Are we vampire or victim?
Just who is being used?
The only protection I know is positivity
And in desperate cases chocolate (Mmm)
Joy will set you free
Sometimes we swing to the side of the law
Putting on our superhero cape (Ah)
And in the name of all that is good and light
Free huh free huh!
When we are a vampire
We can take away your fire
When we are a vampire
We can make you so tired
Mostly we don’t know we’re doing it
And if we knew we were doing it
We wouldn’t want to be doing it
And if you ever find me doing it
Say, “Hey! Stop doing it”
And I’ll say, “Thanks pal!”
This song is about just being a bit more aware
Of how we’re using energy
Maybe that’s why vampires are in the air
(I don’t know)
Show you care
Free huh free huh!
