Met Isabella at the grocery store
The rain was fallin' down the eaves
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve
She didn't recognize my face at first
Then her golden eyes flew open wide
She tried to hug me and she bruised my arm
And we laughed until we cried
We took the groceries to the check-out stand
The meat was totaled up and bagged
She used her AMEX in embarrassment
While the conversation dragged
We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But all that she could drink was blood
She grabbed a deer from the nearest woods
And I turned into a mutt
She licked the blood of friendship
She licked the blood of love
I wish that we'd get past the emptiness
The emptiness that's of?
She said she saw my pack out hunting once
And had to practice self-control
I told her it was fine, we'd beat her up
And she laughed while her eyes rolled
I said I thought werewolves were friends of hers
She said that she had grown away
I saw her giggling but I knew the truth
That a leech could never stray
I chewed the meat of happiness
I chewed the meat of love
I tried to push beyond the emptiness
The emptiness of?
She said she married a vampire
He made her cold and strong and blood-sucking
She'd like to tell me she loved him more than me
But she knew I was her king.
We ate the deer of friendship
We ate the deer of love
We tried to push beyond the emptiness
The emptiness of…
The deer was lifeless and our bellies full
And we had nothing more to say
Gave a cold kiss to me as I transformed
And I watched her run away
Just for a moment I was seventeen
And watchin' her on the moped
Then as I turned to make my way back home
The rain pounded harder on my head…
