Short Description of Song

An interview with a working class vampire.

Long Description of Song

Being a vampire is not for the faint of heart. It's no bloody joy ride. It's all graveyard shift, liquid diet, and real Gothic - not like that fake crap on that kid at Target. This guy is getting down to earth - in fact he might be getting down under the

Story Behind the Song

Dave had a title and Garry had a few hours to kill. We ended up with this song.

IT SUCKS TO BE A VAMPIRE


This working nights, it’s getting to me
It’s cold and it’s dark – ain’t shit on TV
A decent steak – what I wouldn’t give
‘Cause all I get is A and B, and O negative


It sucks, sucks, sucks - to be a vampire
Black, black, black - boring attire
Blood, blood, blood - can’t quench my desire
It sucks, it sucks, it sucks – to be a vampire


No paid vacations – no health benefits
Oh yeah, I’m dead, but it’s the principle of it
I’m the King of the Coffin and the Godfather of Goth
But I can’t slay the ladies like David Lee Roth


It sucks, sucks, sucks - to be a vampire
Black, black, black - boring attire
Blood, blood, blood - can’t quench my desire
It sucks, it sucks, it sucks – to be a vampire



No one ever stops by, to borrow some sugar, shoot the breeze
Or just say hi
I never see daylight, I’m so friggin’ white
I’m a lonely guy
’m sick of bats, and punk-ass copy cats
And all these endless nights – this gig bites


REPEAT CHORUS
