The Vampire Who Started It All

Visual explanations for mass hallucinations
Requires beautiful evidence
Stabs and guesstimations, exceeding expectations
But may require tempered patience

And you go to work in a cannery
So you can put me in a can
And the acid seeps through a battery
Like the acid in the spine of your man

And the prophecies meet on Magazine Street
As the street car rings its bells
Such a welcome defeat and it's set to a beat
As the siren's song compels

I never really understood why they said books were good
I prefer my computer instead

[Instrumental break]

Every sorry retreat to the mercy seat
Fallen angel who heeds the call
And buried 24 feet below Poydras Street
Is the vampire who started it all
