Prompt Where are the bones on that one / What if the cure is worse than the disease / Serve me up some pretty, pretty people / Serve me up somebody I can believe / Don't feel sorry for me / I hate that look on your face / You say just let go / You say come back home / I say I'm just fallen from grace / I'm naked in a hotel room / My station comin' in loud and clear / I'm making out with my one true love / I'm making this hotel room disappear. Joan Osborne, Dracula Moon
