Lyrics for Hollywood Vampire
Kooper She moved across the room with sweet abandon Talking with her everybody's eyes And I was rooted to the spot where I stood standin' And no one who was there could hear my cries Tonight for sure she'll trap somebody's tenderness And drink so very deeply of his soul And though I am one whose words could put an end to this Somehow I am under her control Strange lady - skin that is pale as winter's snow Strange lady - lips so blood red I'd swear you'd know Behind so much beauty burns the fire Of the curse upon us all V A M P I R E And I had no idea the night I found her How hungry she had been to taste of man And though words cannot describe our strange encounter To look into my eyes you'd understand I am not me - I'm timeless as a book now A certain way that people just suspect But anyone who takes a closer look now Would see her evil mark upon my neck Strange lady - skin that is pale as winter's snow Strange lady - lips so blood red I'd swear you'd know Behind so much beauty burns the fire Of the curse upon us all V A M P I R E
