Steam Powered Giraffe - The Ballad Of Delilah Morreo Lyrics

[The Spine:] Well the blood runs thicker than the water for Delilah Morreo
[Rabbit:] The daughter of a mad confider,
Bat and beast and wolf and spider!
[Hatchworth:] Never had a chance at all
To save her precious mortal soul
[The Spine:] The Reaper's hold would not let go
For poor Delilah Morreo!

[Rabbit:] Two men of equal brilliant minds enchant Delilah Morreo
[Hatchworth:] Her love of science was a curse,
she wilted and was drawn by hearse
[The Spine:] One suitor grew obsessed,
He would restore her pretty little soul
[Rabbit:] Awoke she did with spectral glow,
The corpse Delilah Morreo!

[The Spine:] Horrified
[Rabbit:] Yes, the poor dear tried to make things right
[Hatchworth:] But thirst did call
[The Spine:] Suitors did fall
[Rabbit:] The woman's grave was said and done
[Hatchworth:] And yet she lived!
[The Spine:] The darkness comes...

Been dead and gone, but not for long
I'm gonna getcha!
You'll hear the howling of my song
I'm gonna getcha!
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,
Ah, ah-ha-ha!

[Hatchworth:] No beats except of greasy bat wings
For Delilah Morreo!
[The Spine:] But heartless girls, they still can love
Befriending rats and fallen doves
[Rabbit:] And then she found out there were more
Just like her own forgotten soul
[Hatchworth:] But they were bad, they had to go
Said Delilah Morreo!

[The Spine:] Vampiric chants and alchemy dabbled Delilah Morreo
[Rabbit:] She thought she might have cured the spell,
But things again did not go well!
[Hatchworth:] Instead of needing to drink life,
She hungered for some hell-bound souls!
[The Spine:] From then on out, she ate her foes
Miss Delilah Morreo!

[Rabbit:] Her fate was sealed,
The poor dear tried to make things right
[Hatchworth:] A new thirst called
[The Spine:] Vampires fall
[Rabbit:] The woman's creed and code were true
[Hatchworth:] Sleep tight tonight
[The Spine:] Her teeth will chew

Been dead and gone, but not for long
I'm gonna getcha!
You'll hear the howling of my song
I'm gonna getcha!

Ah,
[distorted] Break it down!

[Rabbit:] Well the boogeyman fears the wraith
Delilah Morreo
And Death and her are friends now
No matter where it is she goes
So all the vampires should hide from this lady
This side of the Netherworld she's the
Baddest in Hades
[Hatchworth:] All the sugar skulls sing her praise,
Delilah Morreo
[The Spine:] There ain't no ghost or specter
That'll stand with her toe to toe
[Rabbit:] The demon boys love her,
It turns the Banshees green
[The Spine:] But there ain't no man
For the Vampire Queen!

Been dead and gone, but not for long
I'm gonna getcha!
You'll hear the howling of my song
I'm gonna getcha!
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Ah, ah-ha-ha!

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh...
