I heard that it was inspired by 'Interview With the Vampire' and I am really sure that is what sting was talking about. I didn't really get at first until I reheard this line:
(The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest.)
It really sounds like Louis. Louis thinks of himself as a monster and thats why he doesn't like to kill people. And then there was another phrase that made my brain think:
(She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans
She's innocent and young from a family of means
I have stood many times outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moonlight)
It completely sounds like the 'she' reference is to Claudia. All in all, it's a really cool song!
