The Vampire Blues
By Shaddyr
TTTO: "The Butterbug Blues" by Echo's Children

(Spike)
I told her I loved her, it drove her away,
She had my invite revoked the very same day
The Little Bit hated me and Giles blew a fuse
I've got the "Love that ain't meant to be, somebody please stake me!" Vampire blues.

(Chorus, All)
I never expected that I ever could
Get caught in the battle against Evil, for Good
Now I'm fighting demons nightly, I had to choose
I've got the "White and black fade away, everything's turned to gray" Vampire blues.

(Buffy)
My life is so crazy, a balancing act
As Slayer and mom for Dawn, I must face the fact
That there's only so much that I can handle alone
And after working all day and then slaying all night I am tired to the bone.

(Willow)
I've come to my senses, I finally see
How I let my lust for power dominate me
The magic controlled me, and I hurt those I love
I lost my lover, my self respect, and I will get it back, I've had enough.

(Dawn)
I have clear memories, but sometimes I feel
Like crying my eyes out, cuz I know they're not real
I open the gate to hell, a mystical Key
And then my sister died when the gate opened wide, oh god, it should have been me

(Xander)
Too many creatures destroy, kill and hate
So I became someone who could build and create,
I just want to keep the ones I love safe from harm,
I know that some folks like stakes but I favour my crossbow it works like a charm.

(Anya)
Life can be painful on this mortal coil
But I sure like money, and to Xander I'm loyal
I'm so glad he loves me; he's so gentle and kind
I swear if I had to face life alone without him that I would lose my mind

(additional verses by Jordan Mann)

(Giles)
I once was a watcher, the Slayer's right hand
Got dumped by the Council, no one's joining my band
To fam'ly tradition I have sure paid my dues
I've got the "Cannot stand in her way, no way that I can stay", ex-watcher blues.

(Tara)
My kin called me evil, a demon to be,
I feared that my Willow would find out about me
In some incantations I've been hiding the clues
I've got the "Hellgod has sucked my brain, girlfriend has gone insane" Wicca girl blues.
