Werewolf Shame

They left me on the highway
Stepped on the gas, drove away as far as they could go
At least I told them so
If they'd driven on through the night with me on the driver's side, I'd have shown them teeth like knives, black tongue and bloodshot eyes

I don't wanna be a werewolf in disguise
I don't wanna cause problems with their minds
I don't wanna wake up a thousand times
I don't wanna sleep under the moonlight
I don't wanna fear silver bullets
I don't wanna hear 'why don't you cool it'?
I might need your sympathy right now

Oh won't you lend me your heart?
Mine came broken from the start
Six valves, six times the beat of a hummingbird months in heat
It pounds like hammerstrokes inside my chest and throat
From this book I will quote, but know it's just a grace note
