Death and the Maiden

I hold my breath And I let it out We're on the way, hardly ready On the way, slightly shy (You hide a vampire grin in your soul) You sigh and you hold back like a tear Tomorrow night you'll take me down To the shed or the basement In the dark of the house (You have a vampire grin in your soul) You sigh and you hold back like a tear So take what you have to take from me My red velvet lining So take what you have to take from me My red velvet heart The skin is thin, so let me in To swim with your heartbeat Slowing down to a purr (You hide a vampire grin in your soul) You sigh and you hold back like a tear So take what you have to take from me And it hurt So take what you have to take from me And it hurt So take what you have to take from me My red velvet heart
