Hollywood Vampire - Al Kooper

She moved across the room with sweet abandon

Talking with her everybody’s eyes

And I was rooted to the spot where I stood standin'

And no one who was there could hear my cries

Tonight for sure she’ll trap somebody’s tenderness

And drink so very deeply of his soul

And though I am one whose words could put an end to this

Somehow I am under her control

Strange lady — skin that is pale as winter’s snow

Strange lady — lips so blood red I’d swear you’d know

Behind so much beauty burns the fire

Of the curse upon us all

V A M P I R E

And I had no idea the night I found her

How hungry she had been to taste of man

And though words cannot describe our strange encounter

To look into my eyes you’d understand

I am not me — I’m timeless as a book now

A certain way that people just suspect

But anyone who takes a closer look now

Would see her evil mark upon my neck

Strange lady — skin that is pale as winter’s snow

Strange lady — lips so blood red I’d swear you’d know

Behind so much beauty burns the fire

Of the curse upon us all

V A M P I R E
