My take on the tradition of vampire and other horror literature as a foil for forbidden and queer sexuality.

lyrics

Strange creatures lurk in our town
Stronger than all mortal man
How are we to fight the undead
Who among us can?

Queer desires you mustn't speak of
An evil power you can't resist
Helpless against temptation
And powerless to conquer it

Chorus:
Is this song about vampires
Or is it about sex
Animal hunger and bloodlust
Are easier to accept

And pulse-quickening fear
Has nearly the same effect
As a forbidden love scene
A full-frontal vignette

How long have we been hiding
Our lust for unholy things
Behind a veil of darkness
Blame the devil for our sins

Or do we just need more and more
The mind to be teased as well
As our hungry bodies, writhing
On the way to a happy hell

Give me just a little death
Is that too much to ask
To feel my heart race and my breath
Stop

Rpt chorus
