Death and the Maiden Lyrics

I hold my breath
And I let it out
We're on the way, hardly ready
On the way, slightly shy
(You hide a vampire grin in your soul)
You sigh and you hold back like a tear

Tomorrow night you'll take me down
To the shed or the basement
In the dark of the house
(You have a vampire grin in your soul)
You sigh and you hold back like a tear

So take what you have to take from me
My red velvet lining
So take what you have to take from me
My red velvet heart

The skin is thin, so let me in
To swim with your heartbeat
Slowing down to a purr
(You hide a vampire grin in your soul)
You sigh and you hold back like a tear

So take what you have to take from me
And it hurt
So take what you have to take from me
And it hurt
So take what you have to take from me
My red velvet heart
