Brave young cowboys of the near north side Mount those bridge rails Ride all night Scream when captured Arch your back Let this whole town hear your knuckles crack Sapphire Trans-Am High beams in vain Drive wild broncos Down the plain Push up to the corner Where the turbines hiss Some day we won't remember this Crawl til dawn On my hands and knees God damn these vampires For what they've done to me Tie those horses To the post outside And let those glass doors open wide And in their surface See two young savage things Barely worth remembering Feast like pagans Never get enough Sleep like dead men Wake up like dead men And when the sun comes try not to hate the light Some day we'll try to walk upright Crawl til dawn On my hands and knees God damn these bite marks Deep in my arteries Crawl til dawn On my hands and knees God damn these vampires For what they've done to me
