Perhaps Vampires Is a Bit Strong But... lyrics

I've seen your eyes as they fix on me

"What is he doing?

What on Earth's the plan, has he got one?"

You'd better give me some pointers

Since you are the big rocket launcher

And I'm just the shotgun

Well I ain't no dollar signs in my eyes

That might be a surprise but it's true

See, I'm not like you

And I don't want your advice or your praise

Or to move in the ways you do

And I never will

'Cause all you people are vampires

And all your stories are stale

And though you pretend to stand by us

I know you're certain we'll fail

I've seen your eyes as they fix on me

Full of confusion

Your snarl is just so condescending

Try to explain that we're on to a win

if the fee we are in

near recoups what we're spending; he said

"I can't believe that you drove all that way!

Well, how much did they pay ya,

How much did they pay ya?

You'd have been better to stay 'round our way

Thinking 'bout things, but not actually doing the things."

'Cause all you people are vampires

And all your stories are stale

And though you pretend to stand by us

I know you're certain we'll fail

'Cause all you people are vampires

And all your stories are stale

And though you pretend to stand by us

I know you're certain we'll fail

All you people are vampires!
