lyrics

Dear Mr Dracula,
Have you ever considered
Needing a constant companion
Throughout the millennia?
Have you ever felt alone
In that big drafty castle,
Stalking the musty halls
In your best evening wear?

Because I'm lying right here in the moonlight, and my neck's long, bare, and clean
I can strike a languid pose, and I'm willing to be yours

Hey Mr Dracula,
What's with the hold-up?
I've been writing you every week
Since I learned your address.
I don't want to sound desperate
I have other options
I've thought through the consequences
Of my ghoulish sentiment

And I know you think you've got till the end of time
But you've only got till the end of my life...time

So hurry up and take me,
I only need one bite

Oh please
Answer me
Entangle me
Savage me

Oh Mr Dracula
I don't think you'll answer
I hold no delusions of
Your generous nature
You probably get thousands of
Pleading messages
I know that I'm not your first,
But I can hope to be your sweetest

So if within the next 50 years or so,
You deign to change your mind

You know where I am
I'll be waiting every night

Oh please
Come to me
Set me free
Ravage me
