Slint
Nosferatu Man
[Spoken Verse 1]
I live in a castle
I am a prince
On days I try
To please my queen
Soon as I start to smile
With my smiling queen
Who sits across the table
By the food she made

[Chorus 1]
Like a bat, I flushed the girl
And I flew out my back door
And I came to no one no more
She ran without glances
And railed like a red coal train
She ran without glances
And railed like a red coal train

[Spoken Verse 2]
Eyelids are opened
When the sun is high
I slip away from my queen's weary stare
I can be settled down
And be doing just fine
Until I heard that old train
Rolling down the line
[Chorus 2]
With the light she disappeared
And set me in a whirl
And I hope that beautiful girl
I set a fire burning
And I railed on through the night
I set a fire burning
And I railed on through the night

[Spoken Verse 3]
She peeked around the corner
She offered me her hand
My teeth touched her skin
Then she was gone again

[Spoken Verse 4]
Now my queen is lying
In her early grave
After that girl I'll keep alone
There's nothing left to save
