Story Behind the Song
Ah, love and doom. They so often like to go hand in hand. This is for all the lovely babes in black and crimson, and all the poor innocent lads who throw themselves like sailors upon the rocks, driven mad by the haunting siren's song of the night.
Lyrics
Goth Baby (c) Emerald Rose, 2002
The first time that I saw you in your velvet hood
Your cheeks were pale and sallow, your lips were red as blood
I saw your black eyeshadow, I saw your little fangs
Oh take me to the gallows, I think I wanna hang with you
Goth Baby
I couldn't stand it longer, I asked you for a dance
You did not smile upon me, you did not want romance
You took your fingernail and you caused a lot of pain
I didn't really mind it, I'd open up a vein for you
Goth Baby
(chorus) Now I got ONE heart beating
TWO holes in my neck, and for
THREE nights running I been a nervous wreck
Won't you come and get me honey for all eternity
You know I gotta love you
You made a vampire outta me
You took me home to daddy, I thought it meant you cared
I dressed in my best outfit, I thought I came prepared
He did not even ask me about the way I feel
I was a bit surprised when I became the family's evening meal
Goth Baby
(chorus)
And now I got the Hunger, I'm roaming through the night
I'm chasing rats in sewers, this ain't no pretty sight
My momma always warned me, beware of chicks at raves
I wonder if she knew that I'd be crawlin in the grave with you
Goth Baby
(chorus)
