Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now that I fell into your arms
My only lover, give out to give in
I search for the capsule I lost
[Verse 2]
Drag me to hell in the valley of the Dalles
Like my mother, give wings to a stone
It's only the shadow of a cross
[Verse 3]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 4]
I slept on my back in the shade of the Meadowlark
Like a champion, get drunk to get laid
I take one more hit when you depart
[Verse 5]
I'll drive that stake through the center of my heart
Lonely vampire inhaling its fire
I'm chasin' the dragon too far
[Verse 6]
There's blood on that blade, fuck me, I'm fallin' apart
My assassin like Casper the Ghost
There's no shade in the shadow of the cross
