Johnny Johnson - Vampyres Lyrics

There was a voice sometimes
It guided every path I'd run
There was a place to hide
To be away from everyone
There was a wicked world
Filled with a beauty never known
There was a pretty girl
Who broke my heart but didn't know

We've invited all the vampires
Home

There was a crooked man
He built a tiny crooked home
He lived a crooked life
His final days were on his own
There was a crooked smile
Turned around by deep torment
There was a thin disguise
To hide a sorrowful lament

We've invited all the vampires
Home

And as the shockwaves boil off the atmosphere
We fall the wrong way into the sun
A veil of visions deepen our darkest fear
I've no excuses for what I've become

There was a thought of mine
Somewhere a reason I had known
Somewhere a perfect place
To leave all well enough alone
There was a sacred world
Where you and I will never roam
There was a pretty girl
Immortalised in gold and stone

We've invited all the vampires
Home

And as the shockwaves boil off the atmosphere
We formed a long long way from the sun
Biblical visions reveal our oldest fear
I've no illusions of what I've begun
And as the shockwaves boil off the atmosphere
We fall the wrong way into the sun
A veil of visions deepen our darkest fear
I've no excuses for what I've become
