Tiny lies are killing me
One day when I was walking
I saw you on the street
He was doing all the talking
You looked very sweet
Then I saw your face go white
I saw your shoulders sag
As you slid to the ground
He took another drag
When we are a vampire
We can make you so tired
What kind of lies are feeding you?
Drawn from the neck of something quite untrue
Like the man who would be king
Just because of family pride
Or the desire to be famous because of love denied
When we are a vampire
We can make you so tired
Great big lies are feeding me
What lies? Big lies.
Big lies? Sneaky lies.
Sneaky lies? Life lies.
Whatâs that? Iâll explain later.
A temporary source of e-n-e-r-g-y
You have to find another
When youâve sucked the last one dry
Who are we talking about?
Iâm totally confused.
Are we vampire or victim?
Just who is being used?
The only protection I know is positivity
And ¡n desperate cases chocolate
Joy will set you free
Sometimes we swing to the side of the law
Putting on our superhero cape
And in the name of all that is good and light
Free huh free huh!
When we are a vampire
We can take away your fire
When we are a vampire
We can make you so tired
Mostly we donât know weâre doing
And if we knew we were doing it
We wouldnât want to be doing it
And if you ever find me doing it
Say hey! Stop doing it
And Iâll say thanks pal!
This song is about just being a bit more aware
Of how weâre using energy
Maybe thatâs why vampires are in the air
(I donât know)
Show you care. Free huh free huh!
