Track #1 from The Mountain Goats‘ thirteenth studio album All Eternals Deck.
See “Alpha Rats Nest” for another reference to vampires:
Ah the lengthening hours in the refinery
Belching fire into the sky
We do our best vampire routines
As we suck the dying hours dry
The night is lovely as a rose

[Verse 1]
Brave young cowboys of the near north side
Mount those bridge rails, ride all night
Scream when captured, arch your back
Let this whole town hear your knuckles crack
[Verse 2]
Sapphire Trans-Am, high beams in vain
Drive wild broncos down the plain
Push up to the corner where the turbines hiss
Someday we won't remember this

Sleep like dead men, wake up like dead men
And when the sun comes, try not to hate the light
Someday we'll try to walk upright
[Chorus 2]
Crawl 'til dawn
On my hands and knees
Goddamn these bite marks
Deep in my arteries
[Chorus 1]
Crawl 'til dawn
On my hands and knees
Goddamn these vampires
For what they've done to me
