lyrics

“Dave Vanian”

We can play in the cemetery
When the sun goes down
I’ll read you obituaries
And always wear a frown

I’ll slick back my black hair
And hand you a new rose
Sing you a love song, baby
The kind you find morose

Well, I may not be British
Nor am I Transylvanian, but
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be
Your Dave Vanian

You can catch a spider
To pin to my lapel
We can name her Ida, Eloise
Or Jezebel

I’ll get myself a long cape
To wrap you inside of me
We’ll wait for the black out
That would be neat, neat, neat

Well, I may not be British
Nor am I Transylvanian, but
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be
Your Dave Vanian

Dungeon, hearse, or castle
A coffin made for two
We can live our lives in darkness
I’m so rabid over you

Well, I may not be British
Nor am I Transylvanian, but
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be
Your Dave Vanian

Dedicated to: Christia Nunnery
