DRACU-DRACU LA


TO THE CASTLE WE RIDE
NO TOMORROW - TONIGHT IT DIES
WITH THE DEVIL HE DRIVES
SING ON CHILDREN, CHILDREN

BLOODLESS COUNTESS
OBSESSED NOW I’M
CURSED CURSED CURSED

YOU KNOW THEY’RE THIRSTY AND THEY’RE NEVER EVER FULL
YOU KNOW REMOVE MY HEAD AND HEART AND MAYBE I CAN LET IT GO
YOU KNOW YOU’RE THIRSTY AND YOU’RE NEVER EVER FULL
YOU KNOW REMOVE MY HEAD AND HEART AND MAYBE I CAN LET IT GO

YOU KNOW
YOU GOTTA TIE ME TO THE FLOOR
CUZ I DONT WANNA FLOAT NO MORE
YOU GOTTA TIE ME TO THE FUCKING BED
CUZ I’LL NEVER STAY DEAD

DRACU-DRACU LA

TO THE CASTLE WE RIDE
NO TOMORROW TONIGHT IT DIES
WITH THE DEVIL HE DRIVES
SING ON CHILDREN,

OBSESSED NOW I’M
CURSED CURSED CURSED

YOU KNOW YOU’RE THIRSTY AND YOU’RE NEVER EVER FULL
YOU KNOW REMOVE MY HEAD AND HEART AND MAYBE I CAN LET IT GO
YOU KNOW YOU BETTER TIE ME TO THE FUCKING BED
CUZ I’LL NEVER STAY DEAD.
