After Dark

After dark
when you're
off limits
I'll pop a cork
and invite
you over
your vampire teeth
all shiny sharp
won't put me off
if I can get
the first nibble
maybe then
I'll stand a chance
you leave your sister
in the car
don't keep
the engine running
she'll just need
to drive you home
so I can
get some sleep
dawn's satisfaction
can close your coffin
