Well I'm not a vampire But I feel like one Sometimes I sleep all day Because I hate the sunlight My hands are always shaking Body's always aching And the dark is when I feed Well I can lure any woman that I want to in my bed With me And whiskey seems to be my holy water Mothers better lock your doors And hide your daughters I'm insane Well, I can feel it in my bones Coursing through my veins When did I become so cold? For goodness sake Where is my self control? If home is where my heart is Then my heart has lost all hope Well I'm not a zombie But I feel like one today Self induced comatose, chemical daze My head is always spinning From this dizzy, blurry vision And my stomach has had enough I feel like a lady That is pregnant with a baby 'Cause I'm always throwing up Hi, My name is Ronnie I'm an addict (Hi, Ronnie!) Daddy should've never raised me on Black Sabbath! I'm insane Well, I can feel it in my bones Coursing through my veins When did I become so cold? For goodness sake Where is my self control? If home is where my heart is Then my heart has lost all hope God bless all of you now 'Cause I'm going straight to Hell And I'm taking you down with me 'Cause you know damn well I'm insane Well, I can feel it in my bones Coursing through my veins When did I become so cold? I'm insane Well, I can feel it in my bones Coursing through my veins When did I become so cold? For goodness sake Where is my self control? If home is where my heart is Then my heart has lost all hope All hope All hope
