Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's a crack in the mirror and a bloodstain on the bed

There's a crack in the mirror and a bloodstain on the bed

Oh, you were a vampire and, baby, I'm the walking dead

Oh, you were a vampire and, baby, I'm the walking dead

[Verse 2]

I got the ways and means to New Orleans

I'm goin' down by the river where it's warm and green

I'm gonna have a drink and walk around

I got a lot to think about

[Verse 3]

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

[Verse 4]

There's a rocking chair by the window down the hall

I hear something there in the shadow down the hall

Oh, you were a vampire, and now I am nothing at all

Oh, you were a vampire, and now I am nothing at all

[Verse 5]

I got the ways and means to New Orleans

I'm goin' down by the river where it's warm and green

I'm gonna have a drink and walk around

I got a lot to think about

[Verse 6]

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

[Verse 7]

They used to dance in the garden in the middle of the night

Dancin' out in the garden in the middle of the night

Oh, you were a vampire, and I may never see the light

Oh, you were a vampire, and I may never see the light

[Verse 8]

I got the ways and means to New Orleans

I'm goin' down by the river where it's warm and green

I'm gonna have a drink and walk around

I got a lot to think about

[Verse 9]

I got the ways and means to New Orleans

I'm goin' down by the river where it's warm and green

I'm gonna have a drink and walk around

I got a lot to think about

[Verse 10]

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah
