Samson told CBC Music this song is inspired by Neil Young’s “Vampire Blues” from the album, On the Beach. He also said it’s meant to be in the same vein as Young’s polemical anti-racist screeds “Alabama” and “Southern Man.” There’s a bit of that Crazy Horse jam sound in this song, actually.
Samson...
[Verse 1]
The vampire Alberta stalks across the money market rates
Ducks into a Hummer
The vampire Alberta wears a bowtie and a pin that says
"Support the arts"
The vampire Alberta takes a photo for another slide
In the Powerpoint of all the places he won't remember
[Verse 2]
The vampire Alberta wipes an oily mouth along a sleeve
Of forest in the foothills
The vampire Alberta drools a perfect inky tailing pond
And shakes awake
The vampire Alberta lifts a nearly empty glass and pleads
"I need another one of these, so keep 'em coming"
Good times are coming
Vampire Alberta Blues was written by John K. Samson.
