Intro
Verse 1
Billy was a vampire carving out an empire
strolling pirates alley in the middle of the night
buy a round of cocktails spinning sordid fables in the
twilight... that's allright
scattered words... matter it's a disater in the
making... Umm Hmm
take the time to smell the leaves beneath the
trees... that?s allright
Chorus
my whole life has gone haywire
I'm just a blade bending in your shade
for your love I'm A vampire
standing in the ways of the esplanade
Verse 2
I headed up to Pittsburgh heard you could get a pretty good
sandwich... for fifteen and a dime
I miss that oooold stretch of road down to the
bayou... in the middle of the night
guilt by association the meer smell of speculation
conjours up hell... thats allright
feel the touch of oil from the tankers upon
the breeze ya... that's allright
Chorus
my whole life has gone haywire...
I'm just a blade bending in your shade
for your love I'm A vampire...
standing in the ways of the esplanade...
Solo
Verse 3
that's my whole life in a nutshell take it as you
will...
I hear that old brass band playing our song down the
hill... that's allright wont you
smile... smile... smile Mmm...
that's allright wont you
smile.... smile... smile... Mmm...
that's allright wont you...
