VAMPIRE MAN

I fly through the night on leather wings
Feeling more alive than I've ever been
Look at the people on the streets down below
Afraid of their shadows and what they don't know
But I ride through the clouds in the empire of the night
I hunt my food and drink and take what's mine by right
The fog-covered water by the canal
Where you don't walk alone, always with a pal
Cause I am the vampire man
I am the vampire man

I was hitch-hiking through Europe in sixty-three
When a traveling circus gave me something to eat
And I traveled with them all summer long
Till that late August night when something went wrong
Was walking in the forest when what did I see
A lovely pale woman way up high in a tree
She flew down to my side and touched my cheek
And then we made love she kissed me with her teeth
Now I am the vampire man
Yeah I am the vampire man
Vampire man

She took me to her castle on the mountain top
Slept for three days and then I woke up
But my body had changed while I lay in bed
I'm a beast of prey with a taste for the red
Yeah we hunted together, we hunted in turns
But one night she went out and never returned
Now I travel the world for all eternity
Look over your shoulder now what do you see
Yeah I am the vampire man
Yeah I am the vampire man
Vampire man
Vampire man
Vampire man
Vampire man
