[INTRO — Pulsing heartbeat, distant church bells] [Heartbeat... heartbeat...] They say the first bite changes you. [Soft, mischievous laugh] Darling... What do you think the second one does? [Deep bass drops] [VERSE 1 — Smoky lower mezzo, hypnotic bass] Midnight dripping off your velvet coat, Silver moonlight dancing on your throat. Caught your reflection disappearing in the glass, Should've known a pretty face could bite back. You got sharp little secrets behind that grin, An invitation written underneath your skin. You say, "Come closer," like I ought to be afraid, But I've been dancing with the dark for days. [PRE-CHORUS — Tension building, whispered harmonies] Red lights, black roses, Nobody knows where this goes. Cold hands, pulse racing, Tell me who's really chasing. You think I'm hypnotized, But look me in the eyes... [CHORUS — Explosive vampire dance-rock] Bite me once, make the midnight mine, Bite me twice, let the stars unwind! Got your fangs on my heartbeat, fire in my veins, One taste of forever and I'll never be the same! Oh-oh, we're a beautiful vice, Oh-oh, rolling dangerous dice! You can steal my breath, but you can't steal my life, If you're gonna love a monster, better bite me twice! [POST-CHORUS — Addictive chant, heavy bass] Bite, bite, bite me twice! Sweet like sin and cold as ice! Bite, bite, bite me twice! Don't you know I like the night? [Whispered] Again. [VERSE 2 — Playful, seductive rhythmic delivery] Your castle's got a thousand empty rooms, I brought my favorite records and a little perfume. You offered me eternity wrapped in red, I asked if you could dance instead. Now the chandeliers are shaking overhead, Got the whole damn crypt crawling out of bed. You're a hundred years old with a dangerous smile, Still can't keep up with me for half a mile. [Spoken, teasing] Aw, sweetheart... Getting tired already? [PRE-CHORUS 2 — Rising harmonies, sharper drums] Red lips, black leather, We could make a storm together. No chains, no claiming, I'm the fire you're awakening. You think you've got me mesmerized, But look who's begging with their eyes. [CHORUS — Full guitars, powerful mezzo belt] Bite me once, make the midnight mine, Bite me twice, let the stars unwind! Got your fangs on my heartbeat, fire in my veins, One taste of forever and I'll never be the same! Oh-oh, we're a beautiful vice, Oh-oh, rolling dangerous dice! You can steal my breath, but you can't steal my life, If you're gonna love a monster, better bite me twice! [BRIDGE — Haunting piano, intimate vocals] Maybe forever's just a word, A whispered promise never heard. Maybe the darkness isn't cruel, Maybe the moon makes different rules. If morning comes and we turn to dust, I'd rather burn than mistake fear for love. No spell could ever make me stay... [Quiet, certain] I choose the night anyway. [BREAKDOWN — Heavy guitars, stomping drums] Fangs out! (Fangs out!) Lights down! (Lights down!) Wake the dead beneath this town! Heartbeats! (Heartbeats!) One, two! (One, two!) Guess who's got their teeth in you? [Guitar riff] You want forever? THEN KEEP UP! [FINAL CHORUS — Explosive mezzo belt, layered harmonies] BITE ME ONCE, MAKE THE MIDNIGHT MINE! BITE ME TWICE, LET THE STARS UNWIND! Got your fangs on my heartbeat, fire in my veins, One taste of forever and I'll never be the same! Oh-oh, we're a beautiful vice, Oh-oh, rolling dangerous dice! You can steal my breath, but you can't steal my life, If you're gonna love a monster, better bite me twice! [OUTRO — Bass fades, heartbeat slows] [Soft laughter] One bite for the thrill... Two bites for the night... [Whispered] And the third? Darling, you'll have to earn it. [Heartbeat stops. One final church bell.]
