Well who lives in the scary castle down the scary road?
Records say the resident has got no name
Who dares to walk the empty moat, where a river once flowed
You know that no one’s ever come back the same
Well there have been a happy few who have felt so compelled
To walk through these doors and into the hall
When they return they’re nothing but a shell of their former selves
And they don’t remember anything at all
I’m the vampire of good vibes
No one out there can hear your cries
So sit down — I just go to town
When the moon starts to rise
I'm the vampire of good vibes
Take a good look into my eyes
Cause they’ll be the last thing that you see
before your vibes are all mine
“Oh, he was such a pleasant guy,” the people say about their friend
“It’s a shame the lifeless man that he became”
They don’t know there was a moment when his vibes met their end
They say “we wonder if he’ll ever be the same”
Oh, if only they knew the look of terror on his face
As I rose from my coffin once again
I sunk my teeth into his neck — his vibes were gone without a trace
Then sent him home with not a memory in his brain
I’m the vampire of good vibes
You can visit me anytime
Don’t be scared, just be aware
your vibes are looking so fine
I’m the vampire of good vibes
I leave all my clients alive
Come on in, show me some skin
of which I’ve been so deprived
Oh, I don’t mean any harm, yes that’s just the way I am
You should be grateful that your blood’s of no concern to me
I never liked the flavor, too much iron to a gram
Good vibes are much more to my taste, don’t you agree?
I’m the vampire of good vibes
Extremely strong and exceedingly wise
I own a yacht, and I’m super hot
Just peep my muscular thighs
I’m the vampire of good vibes
I’ll take zest and zeal of all kinds
So sit down — I just go to town
when the moon starts to rise
I’m the vampire of good vibes
