Lyrics The Ballad of Delilah Morreo - Steam Powered Giraffe

Spine: Well the blood runs thicker then 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
Spine: The Reaper′s hold would now let go, for poor Delilah Morreo

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

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

Rabbit: Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ha. Ah-Ha-Ha-Ah

Hatchworth: No beats except for greasy bat wings for Delilah Morreo
Spine: But heartless girls they can still 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

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
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
Spine: Vampires fall
Rabbit: The woman′s creed and code were true
Hatchworth: Sleep tight tonight
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

Rabbit: Ah. 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, Miss Delilah Morreo
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
Spine: But there ain′t no man
For this 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
