The vampires sucking dry the innocent 
Jackknives they stabbed the good Samaritan 
These fingertips spill blood on tape recorders 
Now cut my iris miss America 
But our love is a fortress 
Where we will rewind 
Videotapes and c-cassettes of the better times 

We'll sleep tonight 
We'll just leave the light on 
(Sleep away with evil) 
We'll sleep tonight 
Hold each other tighter 

Avengers tried to wake the sleeping crowd 
But the masses drown in their anemia 
Now the plot thickens, the path narrows 
The odds are against us all 
And the sunburns kill this prince of Persia
