This Is My Confession

Afghan Whigs · Congregation [1992]

(Dulli)



Hey, baby there's a vampire moon

Scaling the sky

Shine in your room

Your eyes are open

You got nothing to do

Come outside and play with me

Tonight

Follow me down to the bushes dear

No one will know

We'll disappear

I'll hold your hand

We'll never tell

Our private little trip to hell

Tonight

Can I walk you home tonight?
