Story behind the song
I met a vampire when I was living in New Orleans right off of Bourbon Street next to Pat O'Brien's. I asked him what do you hate most of all is it crucifixes or garlic or daylight? He looked at me and then looked away and said I hate having to watch my family and friends die and grow old and die and new friends grow old and die and yet I lived on.
I thought about it for a minute and all of us are just like vampires as we get older our friends and loved ones pass away and we have to continue on and so in a way we experience the same thing that vampire felt we persevere while our friends and families pass away and we're the last one standing
Lyrics
I know what it's like to be a vampire
To watch all of your friends die off one by one
I know what it's like to be a vampire
I don't want to live forever
I'm afraid to die
But you reach a certain stage in your life
And you reach a certain point in your life
When all your loved ones and friends slowly die off
On Halloween night I met a wayward stranger
He joined me walking down the street
I can see by the look in his eyes he was different
It just happened when our eyes happened to me
Well I've reached a certain stage in my life
And I've reached a certain point in my life
When all my loved ones and friends began to die off
But you reach a certain point in your life
And you reach a certain stage in your life
When all your loved ones and friends begin to die off
I don't want to die God is simply a story
I don't want to die God is simply a story
We are all vampires living out the same story
We are all vampires living out the same story
Last one standing is the name of the game and I'll win
And when we're gone they're simply nothing that's it
Can you read a certain stage in your life
And you reach a certain point in your life
When all your loved ones and Friends begin to die off
I know what it's like to be a vampire
