Vampire of the West Coast Lyrics & Tabs by Ghost Bees
Vampire of the West Coast
guitar chords lyrics
Last evening I fell for a Vampire
Brooding black circles
A bleeding you liver
Beautiful body
Of mortar and bile
Lovely grey eyelids that long to retire
Dreams of an old room with white plaster windows
And ghosts that would come as they go
They go-o-o
They go-o-o
They go-o-ah
They go-o-o
The patience was daunting
And after a while
His nerves start to whimper
The patience was daunting
And after a while
His nerves start to whimper
His body perspires
And reaches for bottles he threw to the water
With letters to mermaids
and small sunken liners
Now dressed all in algae
So green and so lovely
With mothers and nightgowns asleep in their quarters
Asle-e-ep
Asle-e-ep
Asle-ah-ep
Asle-e-ep
If I were beautiful
Supple and touchable
Would you linger to suckle
And lie in my bathwater?
Stay stay stay
Pogrums are prancing like pirates to pillage
Stay stay stay
Pogrums they are vampires bleeding my village
Till everything's cotton and dry and
The valley's like snow
Like snow
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
He sings like a matchstick
With wolves by the fire
And old prairie cradles that creak like a choir
Hot coals upon old wounds
He curses his father
Writing songs for his
Funeral pyre
