lyrics

If I had a crucifix to bleed on
Or maybe a silver spike to lean on
It's best she doesn't know that I'm a child of Remus
When the moon is high
It's best to let her think I've had too much to drink
And everything's alright

Put on that black dress, baby
Run makeup around the corners of that pretty face
And dance around the room on silver static screens
It's best the less you know about me

If I had a garlic clove to breathe from
Or maybe some wolfsbane seeds to teethe on
I know I love her so, but I'm a child of Remus
When the moon is high
It's best to let her think she's had too much to drink
And everything's alright

Put on that blindfold, baby
Run lipstick around the corners of that pretty face
And dance around the room on silver static screens
It's best the less you know about me

Her satin skin so sweet,
How could she love a monster man like me?

Take off that black dress, baby
My claws around the corners of that pretty face
We danced around the room on silver static screens
It was best the less she knew about me
