Superstition, fear and jealousy Dead I am the one, exterminating son Slipping through the trees, strangling the breeze Dead I am the sky, watching angels cry While they slowly turn, conquering the worm Dig through the ditches And burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula! Dig through the ditches And burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula! Dead I am the pool, spreading from the fool Weak and what you need, nowhere as you bleed Dead I am the rat, feast upon the cat Tender is the fur, dying as you purr Dig through the ditches And burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula! Dig through the ditches And burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula! Do it baby, do it baby Do it baby, do it baby Burn like an animal Dead I am the life, dig into the skin Knuckle crack the bone, twenty one to win Dead I am the dog, hound of hell you cry Devil on your back, I can never die Dig through the ditches And burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula! Dig through the ditches And burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula! Do it baby, do it baby Do it baby, do it baby Burn like an animal Dig through the ditches And burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula! Dig through the ditches And burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula! Dig through the ditches And burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula!
