Energy Vampires |
Hunched in the corner of the dressing-room |
Trying to get back to the real… |
Uh-oh, here they come, ready for their meal: |
Energy Vampires, crawling out of the wall |
They want to steal my vitality |
They want to drink it all |
This guy says that he wrote all my songs |
This girl says she’s had my baby — |
Me, I don’t know them from Adam and Eve |
Sometimes I really believe I’m going crazy |
«Excuse me while I suck your blood |
Excuse me when I phone you |
I’ve got every one of your records, man |
Doesn’t that mean I own you?» |
Oh, sure, I long ago decided to make myself an exponent |
Of public possession in the private obsession zone |
But now I’m serious, let’s be serious |
I’m not selling you my soul |
Try to put it in the records |
But I’ve got to keep my life my own |
One thing I’ve not got a lot of is time |
And it’s slipping away… |
I’ve got a life to live too |
Ah, here they come… |
Vampires! |
