Lyrics--
Title: EXCUSE ME WHILE I DISAPPEAR
Sung by: Nosferatu, Van Helsing
Van Helsing:
Nosferatu, I’ve found you
I’ve heard so much about you
I’d thought you non-existent
But rumors were persistent
Nosferatu:
Now you’ve found me
What about it
Van Helsing:
I will kill you
Nosferatu:
I doubt it
That is something nobody can do
You could not dispatch me
No one can match me
For a greater force defends me
When strife attends me
Why your presence here offends me
You’re no threat to me
You cannot win as you will shortly see
If you think you’ll take me
With that stake you carry
Then it seems to me you’re terribly naïve
Crosses don’t alarm me
Garlic does not harm me
Though that’s what some folks believe
(laughs)
Van Helsing:
Do you then intend to kill me
Nosferatu:
Maybe, but it will not thrill me
It’s true I have a bloodlust
But only kill when need’s must
I’m feeling rather weary
You seem a trifle dreary
Sadly you do not appeal to me
Van Helsing:
Will you let me go then
Nosferatu:
Maybe I do not know
Van Helsing:
When will the killing end
Nosferatu: I really cannot say
The answer may be never
It depends on whether
I grow bored of it one day
(laughs)
Van Helsing:
What you say is most revealing
It’s clear you have no feeling
Nosferatu:
Not the kind you find appealing
But I don’t lack in feeling
You understand quite wrongly
My feelings flow more strongly
Then in any other soul I’ve known
That is what experience has shown
You have a notion of morality
That you believe is real
You are convinced you serve humanity
How good that makes you feel
It’s all a mad illusion
You’re sunk in sad confusion
You think you’re altruistic
That’s quite unrealistic
You seek your own salvation
That is your true motivation
Everything is selfish in the end
I’m the only one who won’t pretend
I do not pretend to be
A lover of humanity
That’s the only difference in the end
I hope what I’ve said to you is clear
Now excuse me while I disappear
