Them damn, cold vampires, been keeping me awake
Tryna’ build an empire on the things that they can take
But don’t let em’ steal your hope child
Turn it something green,
Damn you and damn all your ties to this machine.
Your ties to this machine.
You moved to the city girl,
to make something of yourself,
but them vampires are groping you every night on East and 12th
So every night you carry, a knife and some spray,
to keep them blood suckers at least a four inch blade away, a four inch blade away
So you want to be an artist,
make sure that it makes sense,
but them vampires will take every ounce of the blood that you can give.
So never let em speak,
don’t let em tell a lie,
let them know that you’re walking alone to a warm home tonight
Them damn, cold vampires, that are keeping me awake, tryna’ build an empire on the things that they can take
But don’t let them steal your soul boy,
and turn it something green,
damn you and damn all your ties to this machine
your ties to this machine
Them vampires are living,
on the street and on the screens,
selling you some bullshit that you won’t ever need
Them vampires will tell you what to think and what to say,
so I’m begging you my darling won’t you learn to walk away,
just learn to walk away
Then damn, cold vampires,
been keeping me awake, tryna’ build an empire on things that they can take
But don’t let them steal your soul boy, and turn it something green,
damn you and damn all your ties to this machine
Your ties to this machine
But there’s hope for the mortal, to stay clear and stay true, so look out for the vampires, that are on the hunt for you,
cause they’re on the hunt for you.
Then damn, cold vampires,
that are keeping me awake,
tryna’ build an empire on the things that they can take
But don’t let them steal your soul boy, and turn it something green,
damn you and damn all your ties to the machine
your ties to the machine
