Lyrics
Your name is Dracula
You suck the life right out of me
With a thing called reality
Why didn't I fall for you?
You took my space and made it yours
Now my mind's playin' tricks on me
Who's to blame?
I'm havin' a dream, I can't wake up
That's what I keep tellin' myself, oh-oh, oh-oh
There's no shame
In losin' control, I'm crackin' up
That's what the doctors keep tellin' me
I keep screamin'
Once bitten, twice shy
Keep one eye open for the bad guy
I keep screamin'
Once bitten, twice shy
And be suspicious when the moon's high
Your eyes are cold as ice
I feel them starin' straight through me
With a hint of intensity (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Why must it be this way?
Why am I here tied up today
In a room full of past to stay
Who's to blame?
I'm havin' a dream, I can't wake up
That's what I keep tellin' myself, oh-oh, oh-oh
There's no shame
In losin' control, I'm crackin' up
That's what the doctors keep tellin' me
I keep screamin'
Once bitten, twice shy
Keep one eye open for the bad guy
I keep screamin'
Once bitten, twice shy
And be suspicious when the moon's high, high, high, yeah
Who's to blame?
I'm havin' a dream, I can't wake up
That's what I keep tellin' myself, oh-oh, oh-oh
There's no shame
In losin' control, I'm crackin' up
That's what the doctors keep tellin' me
I keep screamin'
Once bitten, twice shy
Keep one eye open for the bad guy
I keep screamin'
Once bitten, twice shy
And be suspicious when the moon's high, high
Once bitten, twice shy
Once bitten, twice shy
(You took my love and made me crazy
Now everything's so hazy)
Once bitten, twice shy
Once bitten, twice shy
(Ooh, you know you're no good, you're no good, no)
Once bitten, twice shy
(Your name is Dracula
You chained me up and locked my gate to you)
Once bitten, twice shy
(Yeah, I keep screamin')
Once bitten, twice shy
Once bitten, twice shy
(Yeah, yeah, oh)
Once bitten, twice shy
Once bitten, twice shy
