sweet vampires

Singer:alkaline trio

you were the downright all time love of my life

you showed up

and showed me so wrong

you were right

alone in this ocean

floating in the moonlight

at home with the notion it's me

myself

and i

i was the live fast

car crash

mulholland drive

open the flood gates

this love-hate is making me cry

but tears fill the tub with the blood from your wrist that night

if we should live forever

like sweet vampires

when we can reign together

our own empire

now we should try to sever

all our past ties

but it's me and you

and the skies are blue

both bleeding from our eyes

i was a love-sick

dumb dick

top off the stock

came to shove

when you push and locked his keys in his car

i feel like an animal that's been kicked around too long

an eel whose electric circuitry has been wired all wrong

if we should live forever

like sweet vampires

when we can reign together

our own empire

now we should try to sever

all our past ties

but it's me and you

and the skies are blue

both bleeding from our eyes

now where the hell have you

gone off and flown away to

some shit hole you call home

told me i won't survive

somehow

i'm scraping by

we're reduced to ruin

rubble

rags and bones

if we should live forever

like sweet vampires

when we can reign together

our own empire

now we should try to sever

all our past ties

but it's me and you

and the skies are blue

both bleeding from our eyes

both bleeding from our eyes

both bleeding from our eyes

both bleeding from our eyes

both bleeding from our eyes
