lyrics

"Where the mosquitoes fly
I go there every night
I need your sweetest blood to stay alive

Somebody dreamt you up
And left you cast aside
Sometimes your sweetest blood fills up your sweetest eyes

You don’t know who you are
It must be sweet combinations of love that make up your blood

Like those mosquito flies
My kiss turns to a bite
That gets my wings abuzz deep in the night

Well I’m intolerable
I’m hard to stand beside
Don’t let your sweetest blood fill up your sweetest eyes

You don’t know where you’re from
It must be sweet combinations of love that made up your blood

Sometimes I really don’t know how you don’t see
You could take what you want and be free
And not drain blood with me

So don’t you forget: you’ve got the sweetest blood
You’re not gone, not yet
You’ve got the sweetest blood
There’s still time to unite the sweetest blood
The sweetest blood
I love the sweetest blood
I love the sweetest blood

And don’t you forget: you’ve got the sweetest blood
You’re not gone, not yet
You’ve got the sweetest blood
There’s still time to unite the sweetest blood
The sweetest blood
I love the sweetest blood"
