lyrics

She dressed like a vampire
She talked like an English major
We met a theater
She asked me if I could guess her age
I said, “At least a thousand years…”

She slept in the daytime
She told me she didn’t like the sun
I called her at midnight
She said, “Are you brave enough to come?”
Her cat watched all night long
As we made love to Avalon
And on and on and on and I said—

Where do you think you’re going with my life?
Where do you think you’re going with my life?

I woke in the morning
‘Cept it was three or maybe four
Alone in a strange place
I looked for her behind every door
I said, “I know you’re here”
And when the night came down she did appear
As real as love, as dark as fear, and I said—

Where do you think you’re going with my life?
Where do you think you’re going?
Would you steal it in the night?

Quiet now
Make no sound
And then the pain was gone
And we made love to Avalon
And on and on and on and on and

Where do you think you’re going with my life?
Where do you think you’re going with my life?
Where do you think you’re going?
Would you steal it in the night?
