Song Lyrics

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
Oh, oh, oh, oh

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 strain' 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 mistakes

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

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

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

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

Once bitten, twice shy
Once bitten, twice shy
(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
