I've Got My Fangs under Your Skin
by Patty Costantino
August 2001
*************************************
This Frank Sinatra version/Cole Porter song reflects some of Nick's other
thoughts while biting Nat during Last Knight.
**************************************
I've got my fangs...... under your skin
I've got them .....deep in the folds of you
so deep....in the folds...
That your essence embol....dens me
I've got my fangs...... under your skin

I'd tried so....
Not to give in
I've said to myself
This *Cure*
Never will go so well
But...your taste is really somethin'
Nat, I'm such a glutton
I've got my fangs..... under your skin

Now...I've promised forever
Come what might
for the sake of having you near
In spite of the warning voice
that comes tonight
and repeats..repeats in my ear

Don't y'know little....... Nick.....
You can be such a brick
Why not get.... a klew
onward you should move
But each time I do
Just the taste of you.....
Makes me not stop
just before I sin..
because I've got my fangs....... under your skin

Family: LaCroix's song
by Patty Costantino
August 2001
*************************************
Please join in, and clap to the beat as the disco, strobe lights swirl
around our three toothsome vamps!
*************************************
We_ are_ family
I got my Nicholas with me
We_ are_ family
Rise up now and drink

We_ are_ family
I got my Janette with me
We_ are_ family
Show your brother how to feed

Everyone can you see,
We're together
As we fly on.... by

And!
And we hunt just like a pack of wolves
I won't tell no..... lies

All!
All of the stray vamps around us they say
Can they be that close?
Just let me state for the record
We're having bloodlust in a family dose

We_ are_ family
I got my Nicholas with me
We_ are_ family
Rise up now and drink

We_ are_ family
I got my Janette with me
We_ are_ family
Show your brother how to feed

Living unlife is fun
And we've just begun
To drink our share
From the mortals' delights

High!
High hopes we have,
For an eternity
With our vampiric sight

Sometimes....
Sometimes, my son gets depressed
Here's when I recall,
Our golden rule:
Deny not what you are
And the horrible things you do
You won't go wrong,
Oh no!
This is our family jewel......

We_ are_ family
I got my Nicholas with me
(bring the...bring the victim to me)
We_ are_ family
Rise up now and drink
(I can..I can hear her heartbeat)

We_ are_ family
I got my Janette with me
(Don't deny, don't deny!)
We_ are_ family
Show your brother how to feed
(give in, give in to your nature)

We_ are_ family
I got my children with me
We_ are_ family...

The End.

Vampires in the Night
by: Patty Costantino
August 2001
*******************************************
Nick and Janette in Crazy Love, set to the music of Strangers in the Night
by Kaempfert, Singleton and Snyder
*******************************************
Vampires in the night... exchanging glowing glances
Wondering in the night...what were the chances
We'd be sharing blood...before the night was throuuuuugh....

Something in your ruby eyes...was so.... hypnotizing
Something in your elongated canines...was..... so enticing
Something in my uncontained hunger....told me I must possess youuuuuu...

Vampires in the night...two lonely immortals
We were vampires in the night
up to the moment ...when we took that first bite
little did we know our delight...

Blood was just a ...craving.... away...
A cold, embracing, ...draining..... away

And... ever since that night
I've had my brother
Feeling the need to bite
Feeding on each other
It turned out so right
For vampires in the nighhhhht....

repeat

Blood was just a ...craving ....away...
A cold, embracing, ...draining... away

And ever since that night
I've had my brother
Feeling the need to bite
Feeding on each other
It turned out so right
For vampires in the nighhhht....

Dooby, dooby, do,...do, doo, de, aaa.....(you get the idea, I hope! )

Paris: Janette's FILK
by: Patty Costantino
August 2001
**********************************<P>
The Cole Porter song I Love Paris seemed very appropriate for the Raven
beauty.
**********************************
I love Paris...during the nighttime
when mortals' heartbeats.....they do chime
I love Paris in the winter....when their hearts do fizzle
I love Paris in the summer...when their blood zizzles

I love Paris with every victim
every victim.... who is near
I love Paris.. why...oh why...do I love Paris?
Because my prey is here

Repeat
I love Paris with every victim
evvvver..rrry victim..... who is near
I love Paris.. why...oh why...do I love Paris?
Because my prey..... is here
They're there....They're everywhere...but they're really here.

I Did it My Way
by Patty Costantino
August 2001
*********************************
LaCroix is singing this Paul Anka tune, My Way, to Janette and Nicholas as
he reflects on his 2000 years on Earth.
******************************
And still....forever is here
And so....I face.... the eternal curtain
My children...now that you're near
I'll state my case....of which I'm certain

I've lived ...an unlife that's full
I've hunted each and every alleyway
And more...much more than this
I did it.... my...way

Mortal kills...I've had a few
But then again... thousands to mention
I did.... what I had to do
and saw it through.... without redemption

I planned each victorious entrapment
Each careful deception ...against my stray
And more...much more than this
I did it my...way

Yes...there was one time..I guess you knew
When I loved....and made it through
But despite it all
there was no doubt
I sacrificed her.... while talking it out
Retributuon I demanded..... and would call
And...would do it myyyy...way

I've teased ....I've taunted and lied<P>
I've had my thrills...my share of winning
And now...as the years go by
I find myself... really.... grinning
To think....I did all that
And may I say...not in a shy way
Oh no ....oh no, not me
I did it..... my....way

For what is a vamp...what has he got
If not bloodlust...then he has not
To control his stray...he truly feels
torment is best.... so he will kneel
The record shows...I took some blows
But did it.... myyyyyyy......wayyyyy

Yes, it was... myyyyy....wayyyyy.

The Vamp is a Tramp
by Patty Costantino
August 2001
**************************
This Sinatra song The Lady is a Tramp by Rodgers and Hart is dedicated to
all those Lady Vamps at the Raven.
**************************
She gets hungry..... for a mortal at eight
She loves the Raven...doesn't come late
She'd never bother...with an eternal mate
That's why.....this vamp..... is a tramp

Does like gothic.... and gobs of makeup on her face
Will go to the backroom...dressed in black underwear and lace
Will drink bloodwine.... with the rest of her race
That's why...this chick.... is a tramp

She loves to use.... the vaaammmp.....hypnotic stare
Unlife without a care
She can become smoke
But it's oke!
Doesn't like coffins....they're hard and cramp(ed)
That's why....this vamp.... is a tramp

repeat......

She gets *really* hungry..... for a mortal at eight
She adoooores the Raven...however, never comes there late
She'd never bother...with an eternal mate
That's why.....this vamp..... is a tramp

Really loves gothic.... and tons of makeup on her face
She'd go to the backroom...dressed in black underwear and lace
Will drink lots of bloodwine.... with the rest of those broads
That's why...this vamp.... is a tramp

She loves to use....that cooool, vammmp.....hypnotic stare
Unlife without a care
She can become smoke
But it's oke!
She loooooathes coffins....they're hard and cramp(ed)
That's why....this vamp....
That's why ...this vamp....
That's why ...this vaaaammmmp....is a traaaammmmp

"This I The Life That Doesn’t End..."
To be sung by Nick

By Nichole Knight

This is the life that doesn’t end,
It goes on and on, my friend,
Some vampires starting living it,
Not knowing what it was,
And they’ll continue living it forever,
Just because...


<Repeat until sick and/or tired of the song.>

"I Love You, You Hate Me..."
To be sung by LaCroix

By Nichole Knight

I love you, you hate me
Lets get together and live eternally
With a great big kiss on the neck and a cut wrist from me to you
Won’t you say you hate me, too.


<Repeat 2-3 times. Then dance around and jump out of a closed window on
the 21st floor of a building. When asked "Why did you jump out of a
closed window on the 21st floor?", answer "I sung the ‘Forever Knight’
version of the Barney theme.">

The Way We Were
by Patty Costantino
Sept 2001
********************************
LaCroix is again reflecting back on his times with Nicholas and Janette in
the song, The Way We Were
********************************

mmmmmmm.. mmmmm...mmmmmm
Flash....backs... in the... dark recesses..... of my mind
Ruby, .....ambered,..... colored flash...backs....
of the way we were

Scattered.... bod....ies...
of the dead... we left behind
Feedings we gave... to one another ..
That's the way... we were

Can it be...that it was all...... so sadistic then
I ....found time......before..... we.. dined
Tormenting victims..... to be mighty fine
Tell me.....
Didn't.... I?....
Wouldn't.... I?......

Mem...or...ies...may be.... so amusing.... and you can...bet
what's. .so... tasty.. to remember....
are.. mortals served on brocheeetteee..

So it's the slaughter...we will re...mem..ber....
Whenever we remember....the way.... we were....
The way.... we..... were...
.mmmmmm....mmmmm..mmmm

You Won't Bring Me Across
by Patty Costantino
Sept 2001
***********************************
In A More Permanent Hell, Natalie is lamenting the fact her Vamp won't do
the deed in this Barbra Streisand/Neil Diamond duet, You Don't Bring Me
Flowers
***********************************
You won't.... bring me...across....
You don't ....ring me for garlic pills....anymore
You hardly drink my shakes by the score
when I come up the loft lift
at the end of my shift

I remember....when.....
You told me you loved me.....
Took..... it back, .....and whammied me....
Now.... after.... remembering...... that... night
and the world coming to an end.... I'm not feeling alright
And....you just.... say no .... and.... won't bring me..... to the light
And....you won't bring me.....across......for..ever...more

I explained that....we could be together forever
But rejection I got for my boldness once more
I ....just walked out the door..
To the Raven, I ventured away

And maybe.... I can become a memberrr...of the existence... you abhor
I can learn how to whammy ... even learn how to fly
Well I can learn how to feed ...but I need!..... to die
But...you think I could learn..... how to tell you...... goodbye
Think I could learn..... how to tell you .....goodbye
And.....you won't bring me.... across....for ...ever more

So... you would think I could learn..... how to tell you....goodbye
You don't say..... you'll feed on me
You don't say..... you'll take..... me
You won't bring me..... across.....for..ever...more

Mere Mortals
by Patty Costantino
Sept 2001
********************************
Picture LaCroix singing this Streisand tune, People, from the musical Funny
Girl.
***********************************
Mere Mortals......
Mortals.. fed on.. by immortals..
Are the unluckiest..... mortals..... in the world

They're cattle...herded.... with other cattle
and yet....feeding.... on them in battle
makes.... my insides.... rattle
tasting more.... like cattle...than Snapple (sorry, best I could do!)

Hun...ters...are very dangerous..... mortals
They 're.... the.... half drained.... mor...tals..... of the wor..ld

With one victim...one very.... enthralling... victim
A feeling .....I.... must ...boast
Says you are ...dessert...now you're toast
with my.... hunger.... and thirst
But first...
be a mortal.... fed on by immor..tals.....
mere mortals.... fed on by immor...tals...
Are the unluckiest ....mortals.... in.... the.... world...

With one victim...one very..... enthralling.... victim
A feeling..... I....must....boast
Says you are... dessert..now you're toast
with my.... hunger....and thirst
But first...
be a mortal.... fed on by immortals.....
mere... mortals..... fed on by immortals...
Are the unluckiest!..... mortals..... in the.....world...

He Bit Me
by Patty Costantino
Sept 2001
******************************
In Last Knight, Natalie's thoughts when Nick bites her. This song, He
Touched Me, is from a very early Barbra Streisand album.
******************************

He.. bit....me....
He... put.... his fangs near me
And then... he bit... me
I felt a sudden.... pain...when he bit... me....
Then a spar...kle,...a glooowww...

He.... blew it
It was.... accidental
But!........ He blew it!
His guilt.... seemed to tell me so
all.... through.. it....
Oh no! He'll brood.....I knoooowwww....

He's gulp...ing...and I'm reeling....
the room is spinning
I'm feel... ing
myself .... not soar......
as I head towards...... towards the flooooorrrr......

He... bit! me
I simply have to face the fact
He ...bit me
Tell myself.... the act......was insane..
(I'm to blame!)
as I.... feel a bit drained
But he bit meeee......he biiittt...meeeee....
And sud....denly..... nothing... will be... the saaammmmeee...
'cause he biiiiittttt meeee....he ....biittt.....meeeee
And.....sud....denly.....nothing....nothing...nothing... will be.... the
saaammmeee....

Angsty Nights Are Here Again
by Patty Costantino
Sept 2001
***************************
Our beloved Nicky's brooding state of mind over the last 3 centuries
or...perhaps 8 centuries (?) set to the tune Happy Days Are Here Again.
***************************

Angsty... nights..... are here again
Those flashbacks.... of my past...... are so clear, my friend
They fill me with such...... fear to the end
Angsty... nights...... are.... here.... again

All the same.....let's not talk about ...it now
There's just one thing...let me....pout for now
So I would rather brood ...about...it now
Angsty... nights..... are here..... again

My guilt..... and troubles are never..... gone
There'll be..... with me....from now on
From....now...onnnnnnnn......

Angssssty..... nights ......are here again....
Those flashbacks......of my past......are so clear, my friend
They fill me with..... such....... fear to the end
Angsty...... times!
Angsty...... days!
Angsty...... nights..... are.... here..... againnnnnnn.....
