Lyrics
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
