Vampires

Last night we went to a party.
there were a bunch of big names there.
i've been conditioned to sell myself.
well, that's not what this is about.
so i've got one hand on my neck
to keep all the vampires out.
i'm gonna finish this stiff drink and i'll be on my way.

no, this isn't me. no, this isn't you.
??
but i just took one bite and that's all it took.
now write me down in your book, in your book.

i say "goodnight." i put the keys in the ignition.
i think the entire existence is asleep it's so quiet.
my headlights dance picutres on the treeline.
the song floats out the window into the fog-filled night.
i'm home now. it feels different.
i undress in the dark and find my way to the sheets.
my head is light from what you said. you were dead right. now they're back at my throat and they're thirsty.
i haven't proved anything until i've proved them right.
this apple in my hand, i just took one bite.
i just took one bite.

no, this isn't me. no, this isn't you.
??
but i just took one bite and that's all it took.
now write me down in your book, in your book
