Your name is Dracula
You suck the life right out of me
With a thing called reality

Why didn't I fall for you?
You took my space and made it yours
Now my mind's playin' tricks on me

Who's to blame?
I'm havin' a dream, I can't wake up
That's what I keep tellin' myself, oho, oho

There's no shame
In losin' control, I'm crackin' up
That's what the doctors keep tellin' me

I keep screamin'
Once bitten, twice shy
Keep one eye open for the bad guy
I keep screamin'
Once bitten, twice shy
And be suspicious when the moon's high

Your eyes are cold as ice
I feel them starin' straight through me
With a hint of intensity

Why must it be this way?
Why am I here tied up today?
In a room full of past [Incomprehensible]

Who's to blame?
I'm havin' a dream, I can't wake up
That's what I keep tellin' myself, oho, oho

There's no shame
In losin' control, I'm crackin' up
That's what the doctors keep tellin' me

I keep screamin'
Once bitten, twice shy
Keep one eye open for the bad guy
I keep screamin'
Once bitten, twice shy
And be suspicious when the moon's high, high, high, yeah

Who's to blame?
I'm havin' a dream, I can't wake up
That's what I keep tellin' myself, oho, oho

There's no shame
In losin' control, I'm crackin' up
That's what the doctors keep tellin' me

I keep screamin'
Once bitten, twice shy
Keep one eye open for the bad guy
I keep screamin'
Once bitten, twice shy
And be suspicious when the moon's high, high

Once bitten, twice shy
Once bitten, twice shy
(You took my love and made me crazy)
(Now everything's so hazy)

Once bitten, twice shy
(Ooh, you know you're no good, you're no good, no)
Once bitten, twice shy

Once bitten, twice shy
(Your name is Dracula)
(You chained me up and locked my gate to you)
