lyrics

Blood red:
There's a secret in this town
It's kept deep underground
Missing people are seldom found
But I've been digging around

Why'd they film the
Queen of the damned
In this Sunburnt land ?
A gathering so grand
Are you beginning to understand ?

Melbourne has her Vampire Queen
For a century she's devoured the scene
Mesmerising all our dreams
Perfect lace and velveteen
Blood red

The sun went down and she got up
Looking a million bucks
Her lover lay on her bed
Like he was drained and dead
Blood red

Maybe this is all fantasy
or maybe it's lunacy
But Stkilda beach after dark
Can be a very scary place to be

Even if you don't believe
A hungry vampires got to feed
They can't stop their need and humans do so bleed...
Blood red
