Lyrics
Verse 1
You met me by the ferris gate
Rain on my boots
Black wool soaking up the night
I had a grin like broken glass
And red on my hands
From the cherry drink you spilled
Pre-Chorus
Come closer
Don’t flinch now
I’ve been awake
For a long, long time
Your pulse is loud
Your name tastes sweet
Say it again
Say it to me
Chorus
Vampire rider
Take me home
Vampire rider
I won’t let go
Bite the moon
Bite the bone
Vampire rider
Ride me home
Verse 2
Your mother’s chain on the sink
Your keys in the bowl
Your jacket hanging by the door
I hear the whole dead town
Knock in the walls
When you touch my face like that
Pre-Chorus
Come closer
Don’t flinch now
I’ve been awake
For a long, long time
Your pulse is loud
Your name tastes sweet
Say it again
Say it to me
Chorus
Vampire rider
Take me home
Vampire rider
I won’t let go
Bite the moon
Bite the bone
Vampire rider
Ride me home
Bridge
I was made for the hunger
Made for the chase
Made for the crooked road
You laugh like a match in the dark
I lean in slow
And the whole room shakes
Final Chorus
Vampire rider
Take me home
Vampire rider
I won’t let go
Bite the moon
Bite the bone
Vampire rider
Ride me home
Vampire rider
Ride me home
