Vampires Lyrics
Brother, it don't matter
Sister, don't worry
Say what you like
I'll do what you want me to do
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too
Sun in the kitchen
Boy, you're still sleeping
When you get hungry
I'll do what you want me to do
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire, too
Night in the city
New Orleans pretty
Do what you want
and then can I do it to you?
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too
It's a reflex
Just a reflex
like fear or sex
Brother, it don't matter
Sister, don't worry
Say what you like
I'll do what you want me to do
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too
Brother, it don't matter
Sister, don't worry
Brother, it don't matter
Sister, don't worry
Sister, don't worry
Say what you like
I'll do what you want me to do
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too
Boy, you're still sleeping
When you get hungry
I'll do what you want me to do
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire, too
New Orleans pretty
Do what you want
and then can I do it to you?
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too
Just a reflex
like fear or sex
Sister, don't worry
Say what you like
I'll do what you want me to do
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too
Sister, don't worry
Brother, it don't matter
Sister, don't worry

For me this song is about AIDS; a vampire creates another vampire by infecting its victim with a virus, and that is analogous to gay men infecting each other with HIV.
"Brother, it don't matter," might be a reference of one positive man propositioning another, effectively saying that since "I'm a vampire, you're a vampire too" it doesn't matter if they get together as they're already infected. "Do what you want and then I can do it to you" is clearly a line about sex.
It may even be about someone who wants to be infected; believe it or not, some men in the gay community consider it liberating to possess the HIV virus and actually set out to acquire it.
