V01 – Out by the beach, there sits that shopping mall Where my girl works a shoe store’s hollow halls, & she sucks customers in like moths to light. When she measures my feet, my pants get tight. C01 – She’s not like other girls, her skin’s translucent white. I wish she’d bite my neck, but she’s just too polite. My little graveshift baby only works at night & then she’s gone. Oh-whoa-whoa. TA – She’s only got two vices: Fresh blood & bargain prices. Two things that get her going: High heels & hemoglobin. V02 – & when she gets off work, she’ll grab a bite & then go surf the breaks after midnight. She quasimodos off ‘em like she’s a meteorite, Her little two-piece shimmering in moonlight. C02 – She’s not like other girls, her skin’s translucent white. I wish she’d bite my neck, but she’s just too polite. My little graveshift baby only surfs at night & then she’s gone. Oh-whoa-whoa. B – B! – Be my Mata Hari. O! – Oh no, you won’t be sorry, O! – Over Doc Caligari T! – & TV Surf Safari. B! – Be my Mina Harker. A! – Awake you inner shark, girl, R! – Right on my jugular here. N! – Nobody else will do, dear, Build – ‘Cause my blood jumps When you’re near! C03 – My little graveshift baby only works at night & then she’s gone. Oh-whoa-whoa. My little graveshift baby only surfs at night & then she’s gone. Oh-whoa-whoa. My little graveshift baby‘s watching monster flicks with me ‘Till dawn. Oh-whoa-whoa. Coda – Don’t worry, baby, my shades are drawn . . .

Hey Serena 02:58
V01 – Walking in the shadows, Creeping down the stairs Going where nobody knows, Going where nobody cares. Spare parts from the graveyards, Dead bodies everywhere, Whatever it takes to get you From here to there. VB01 – Now there’s a price to pay & there will come a day The dead things will rise & walk by your side. C01 – Hey Serena, Are you OK? Did you kill them all? All the blood & gore & more. Hey Serena, There’s a place for Things like you, & it's cold & damp & gray. V02 – The last time that I saw you, You were hiding in the dark, & in a haunted haze, I watched you fall apart. Whatever it takes to get you From here to there. VB02 – Now there’s a price to pay & there will come a day The dead things will rise & walk by your side. C02 – Hey Serena, Are you OK? Did you kill them all? All the blood & gore & more. Hey Serena, There’s a place for Things like you, & it's cold & damp & gray. B? – Going where nobody knows, Going where nobody cares. Spare parts & graveyards. Someday There’s a price To pay. C03 – Hey Serena, Are you OK? Did you kill them all? All the blood & gore & more. Hey Serena, There’s a place for Things like you, & it's cold & damp & gray.

V01 – This neighborhood’s really gone to hell since the zombies started moving in. This used to be a decent place to drink ‘till these vampire skanks turned all my friends, Coming out of that backroom all looking weird. Nobody sees it, or that the water outside’s still rising. They just keep on dancing like Peggy Lee or their pathetic store-bought gris-gris will save them. They really think their glorified hot sauce will ward off that silver-tongued schemer At the end of the bar with the lime-green Maori mug shooting back Peach flambés without so much as a singed eyebrow? Nooooo! Like that lampshade on his head makes him all incognito. So why’d he have to come here? Why not Houston? Guess he can’t do Phoenix ‘cause they got no souls to lose. V02 – You know the Hotel LaFong? With the rotating lobby bar? Yeah, last night it just flipped on all the sudden. It’s still out there spinning like gangbusters, Lit up like a skull candelabra on Day Of The Dead. But that block’s got no power; how can that be? & over here’s the opposite problem: the juke’s playing everything a 3rd too fast, & someone set Jurgen’s freshly-severed head on top it, Safely-stowed above the AMI logo, But no one’s claimed credit. Poor bastard’s stuck forever with his tongue out, Rictus frozen in a raspberry, John The Baptist-by-way-of-Jayne Mansfield pose. V03 – I look up from the tapeworm wriggling at the bottom of my tequila glass. Don’t know how much time’s passed, Long enough I’m seeing pufferfish float by my head, They’re overturning the hanging paper lanterns & tiki torches, Turning them into sunbursts Casting creepy yellow half-moon shadows off spittoons. The outside’s like a fishbowl but the inside’s a tinderbox, & there’s no more music ‘cause the jukebox has been melting, Just the smoke detectors writhing in rhythmic pain. & the girls are still swinging those getaway stems of theirs Squeezed tight into snow-colored stockings shimmying & grinding While the flames gobble them up a couple at a time. The bar bottles start popping like giving a signal for smoke to come out of the floorboards, I can’t see shit except Satan’s got Carly the cocktail waitress in a trance With a cottonmouth tongue flicking in her ear. I know her family, & she’s probably the only one here ‘sides me Who ain’t been turned into a ghoul! Oh, that tears it, goddamn it! Get away from her you, you bastard! You wanna destroy everything pure in the world?! Careful, that’s a vintage fucking Majestic Z lamp, scumbag! Leave my friends alone! Take your vampire pussy posse & go back to Hell!

V01 – Girl put your hand on my nose & feel for yourself how bad it’s froze; I can’t believe it gets this cold. While I know that you call it home, To me they’re drafty catacombs. But at least I still got the warmth inside From when you said you’d be my vampire bride. V02 – This town is just like where we came, The spirits all sleepwalk the same, These anguished ones who pace in shame. With steamshovelfuls of secrets Or those pissed off from violent deaths. Though once you used to walk that restless night, Now your heart rests with me, my vampire bride. V03 – This morning while I watched you sleep, I thought of an Egyptian queen & those mummified figurines That servants placed inside a tomb Around their goddess in the gloom To keep her company as she vaporized In digs more posh than this, my vampire bride. V04 – They called those wee things “shawabtis” & pinned a note onto their sleeves That read, “If by chance, the deceased Is called upon to do a task In the Afterlife, I’ve got his back.” I like to think when I’m here by your side I’m doing that same job, my vampire bride. Coda – I let my old dreams go for good, I killed those lies right where they stood & gave the slip to my old life The day that you became my wife. Now wherever you go’s my home too _____ I’ll brave the cold to be with you, Here’s one more blanket for your feet, I’ve barred the door & pulled the sheets So the sun won’t touch your lovely skin, I’ll guard the door ‘till night begins. I’ll never lose this warmth inside From that day you said “Yes” when I Asked, “Will you be my vampire bride?”

about

A mad scientist was working in the lab late one night and put a dreadful serum he created into the drinks of 4 unsuspecting and weary travelers who's car broke down on the way to a Misfits show. They all drank the serum and quickly went into a catatonic state. When they awoke, they began playing songs and the Mad Scientist, who happened to have state of the art recording equipment, recorded it. So, this is what came from that fateful, stormy night as they recorded in the damp, dark Castle East. No one knows where they are, who they are, or where they are going to. So, lock the doors, lock the windows, it won't be pretty... when the blood drips, and the banshees cry, and the Pink Skulls Mega Monster Madness comes to your city.
