lyrics:

"every night when i crawl out of my grave, looking for someone to meet, some way that we'll misbehave. every night when i go out on the prowl, then i fly through the night, with the bats and the owls. every time i meet somebody, i think you might be the one, i've been on my own for too long, when i pull them closer to me, bloody sunrise comes again, leaves me hungry and alone every time, bloody sunrise, and i'm nowhere to be found every time, and you're a memory and gone, something else that i can blame on bloody sunrise.

every night i put on my smartest threads, and i go into the town, and i don't even look dead. every night i smile and i say hi, and no one ever smiles back, and if i could i'd just die. but when i'm lucky i do get lucky, and i think you might be the one. even though the time is flying, when we get to the time of dying, bloody sunrise comes again, leaves me hungry and alone, bloody sunrise comes again, and i'm nowhere to be found every time, and you're a memory and gone, something else that i can blame on bloody sunrise, and you're a memory and gone, something else that i can blame on bloody sunrise."
