The vampires sucking dry the innocent
Jackknives they stabbed the good Samaritan
These fingertips spill blood on tape recorders
Now cut my iris miss America
But our love is a fortress
Where we will rewind
Videotapes and c-cassettes of the better times
We'll sleep tonight
We'll just leave the light on
(Sleep away with evil)
We'll sleep tonight
Hold each other tighter
Avengers tried to wake the sleeping crowd
But the masses drown in their anemia
Now the plot thickens, the path narrows
The odds are against us all
And the sunburns kill this prince of Persia
