LYRICS

C’mon shake it just like it’s a bad habit
Burn it down to the filter on your cigarette
‘Til you’re pulling at the end of the rope
Hit the bottle ‘til you’re back to the rocks
And don’t you let ‘em bite your style
Velvet tongues and their plastic smiles
Oh, the cold blood casanovas
They’ll get you if you let them

It’s draining
Giving more than you wanted
Playing into their pockets
They act like monsters in coffins
So beware, baby
You better watch your neck
The world is a vampire

You got nowhere to run
Got your finger on the trigger of your silver bullet gun
But they just keep on coming back for more
Until you’re rotten all the way to the core
So play the game, take the L
We’ll save you a pretty little place in hell
The operators are standing by
But there’s no one who can take your call

It’s draining
Giving more than you wanted
Playing into their pocket
Colder than monsters in coffins
So beware, baby
You better watch your neck
They’ll make you a monster
Yeah, the world is a vampire

Don’t let ‘em getcha
Ooh yeah,
The world, the world, world is a vampire
So watch your neck
