lyrics

HIM:
And as I look around the room
I saw Hawks ready to make their move
And scared little mice wondering
If anybody’s goin’ ta save them.

Well it’s not the latest dance hall craze,
It’s been happenin’ for an age
The vampires are out tonight
For Little Miss Shoulda Known Better.

You’re scared,
but you’re unsure
As I lead you on the floor,
I wanna feel your heartbeat pressed against my sweat-stained shirt

With casualties at dusk,
You must get ready for The Transformation.

And as I hold you in my arms
You look bored but you act charmed
You seem like the type
That’s no stranger to this situation.

Oh but baby I got us a surprise,
It was all there when you looked in my eyes –
A hollow man,
with tight jeans and bad intentions.

You shiver as you watch me shake,
See these lights flicker and fade
As we fall blindly to our fate,

You must get ready
Ready for The Transformation.

It was all there when you look in my eyes -
You didn’t run so don’t act surprised
This Changing is not entirely my design

At least you had a Warning
At least you had time
As I go from a Playboy
Back to a Husband.

Unsteady on improbable heels
As I’m sizing up my meal
What else
Is a lonely man to do?
‘Cos the hour is late
in the year of the snake
you seem like the type
that can take what I gotta give ya.

Oh I want you alone
I wanna hear fear when you pick up the phone
You don’t need to know where I’m goin’ next
You just melt
When I bite you’re neck

And be ready
Ready for The Transformation.
