Lyrics

I'm looking at your soul (your soul, your soul, your soul) I'm looking at your future (at your future, future, future) As I look into your eye (your eye, your eye) I see another side (another side, side, side) Vampire, you feed on the life of a pure heart Vampire, you suck the life of goodness Vampire, you feed on the life of a pure heart Vampire, you suck the life of goodness Turn the lights on Let the lights shine bright Turn the lights on Let the lights shine bright You got to feel yourself and let go You got to know you reap what you sow You got to feel something at sometime Check the writings on the wall and look into the sight You're spending all your money on gear that never work You're wasting all your energy, and everywhere it hurts God, it really hurts, yes, it really hurts You got to know yourself Vampire, you feed on the life of a pure heart Vampire, you suck the life of goodness, yes Vampire, you feed on the life of a pure heart Vampire, you suck the life of goodness From now on, I'll call you England From now on, I'll call you England From now on, I'll call you England From now on, I'll call you England See, if you spit in the sky, it will fall in your eye You see, what goes up must come down You will die looking up if you're not looking in You got to know yourself I'm looking at your partners, and they will never agree I'm looking for your justice, and it cannot be seen I'm checking where you're coming from and where you're going to I'm checking all of what you have done to see what you can do I'm looking at your law books, and they were never read I'm looking at your love squire, and they cannot be dread I'm looking at your empire slipping down the drears You got to know yourself Vampire, you feed on the life of a pure heart Vampire, you suck the life of goodness, yes Vampire, you feed on the life of a pure heart Vampire, you suck the life of goodness From now on, I'll call you England (empire fall, man, empire go) From now on, I'll call you England (there's a lesson to be learned) (Why is that you must know?) From now on, I'll call you England (and the rich is more like the fool that you fear) From now on, I'll call you England (and I see no love anywhere you appear) From now on, I'll call you England (you got to know yourself) From now on, I'll call you England (you got to know yourself)
