Well I'm not a vampire
But I feel like one
Sometimes I sleep all day
Because I hate the sunlight
My hands are always shaking
Body's always aching
And the dark is when I feed

Well I can lure any woman that I want to in my bed
With me
And whiskey seems to be my holy water
Mothers better lock your doors
And hide your daughters

I'm insane
Well, I can feel it in my bones
Coursing through my veins
When did I become so cold?
For goodness sake
Where is my self control?
If home is where my heart is
Then my heart has lost all hope

Well I'm not a zombie
But I feel like one today
Self induced comatose, chemical daze

My head is always spinning
From this dizzy, blurry vision
And my stomach has had enough
I feel like a lady
That is pregnant with a baby
'Cause I'm always throwing up

Hi, My name is Ronnie
I'm an addict
(Hi, Ronnie!)
Daddy should've never raised me on Black Sabbath!

I'm insane
Well, I can feel it in my bones
Coursing through my veins
When did I become so cold?
For goodness sake
Where is my self control?
If home is where my heart is
Then my heart has lost all hope

God bless all of you now
'Cause I'm going straight to Hell
And I'm taking you down with me
'Cause you know damn well

I'm insane
Well, I can feel it in my bones
Coursing through my veins
When did I become so cold?

I'm insane
Well, I can feel it in my bones
Coursing through my veins
When did I become so cold?
For goodness sake
Where is my self control?
If home is where my heart is
Then my heart has lost all hope
All hope
All hope
