Every Time (ballad to a vampire)
07/17/11 - FtLd


Bright lights begin the day
The ending of the night
Roll down the shades
Leave the sidewalks on the side

Death is just a little boy
Who can’t make up his mind
And pity is the little girl
Who serves your tea on time
Every time

Pour yourself a cup of milk
Or maybe some whiskey
Purity is poisonous
So won’t you have a sip with me

Your heart was just a memory
That laughed each time you cried
So if you find a remnant
You can break it one more time
Every time

Sleep until the sun goes down
Hide away in dreams
There’s nothing in the daylight
That you really want to see

And death is just a little boy
Who can’t make up his mind
And pity is the little girl
Who serves your tea on time
Every time

When you wake you’ll find the day
Has left you far behind
The night calls out its mysteries
That make you come alive

So rise up and stretch your wings
To forage you must fly
To feast in bars and alleyways
To while away the time
Every time

And when you find the blood that bears
Your name the price is paid
To leave your mark and leave your heart
Is always a mistake

Cause death is just a little boy
Who can’t make up his mind
And pity is the little girl
Who serves your tea on time
Every time
