Lyrics for City of the Vampires

When the circus comes to town In the city of the vampires And there's nary a soul to be found When the sun glints off the church spires The citizens have all gone to their basements To wait for the night time in their coffins So you better go exercise the elephants Ohh while you can See the carved painted wagons with wolves Pace back and forth in their cages As they wait for a full moon to rise So they can shape-shift into hairy bone-cracking stages That will let them turn into normal people So hungry vampires can suck their blood dry Ah you better go exercise the elephants Ohh while you can Oh the Big Top at night is aglow Vain painted clowns are performing Baby vampire eyes shine at the show No one thinks that it's alarming Until they grab the clowns and bite holes in their necks And the clowns aren't so funny anymore So you better go exercise the elephants Ohh while you can
