Cold Damn Vampires

[Chorus]

Them damn, cold vampires, been keeping me awake

Tryna’ build an empire on the things that they can take

But don’t let em’ steal your hope child

Turn it something green

Damn you and damn all your ties to the machine

[Verse 1]

You moved to the city girl

To make something of yourself

But them vampires are groping you every night on East and 12th

So every night you carry, a knife and some spray

To keep them bloodsuckers at least a four-inch blade away, a four-inch blade away

[Verse 2]

So you want to be an artist

Make sure that it makes sense

But thеm vampires will take evеry ounce of the blood that you can give

So never let em' speak

Don’t let em' tell a lie

Let them know that you’re walking alone to a warm home tonight

[Chorus]

Them damn, cold vampires, that are keeping me awake

Tryna’ build an empire on the things that they can take

But don’t let them steal your soul boy

And turn it something green

Damn you and damn all your ties to the machine

[Verse 3]

Them vampires are living

On the street and on the screens

Selling you some bullshit that you won’t ever need

[Verse 4]

Those vampires will tell you what to think and what to say

So I’m begging you my darling won’t you learn to walk away

Just learn to walk away

[Chorus]

Them damn, cold vampires

Been keeping me awake

Tryna’ build an empire on things that they can take

But don’t let them steal your soul boy, and turn it something green

Damn you and damn all your ties to the machine

[Bridge]

But there’s hope for the mortal, to stay clear and stay true, so look out for the vampires, that are on the hunt for you

Cause they’re on the hunt for you

[Chorus]

Them damn, cold vampires

That are keeping me awake

Tryna’ build an empire on the things that they can take

But don’t let them steal your soul boy, and turn it something green

Damn you and damn all your ties to the machine

Your ties to the machine
