I always loved this song...no one has pipes like Halford did back in the day, this was off defenders of the faith. I think I told at least part of the story once. It was between me getting gigantic pumping iron, and because of that, peeps did what I said..

I would jump on the school bus at 15-16, looking all roided out. and the backseats were historically reserved for the 11th or 12th graders...

didn't matter, my buddy had our back seat reserved, and we rocked the fuck out!!!!!

And say Lloyd, although I think it was another bus driver by then, but I'm fucked up in Mexico, how the fuck am I supposed to remember?

Who knows, it could have been loverboy with this fucked up tech. Which is unimaginably fucked up!

But it wasn't...in the dead night...love bites...love bites...

I always thought it added a lot of pernach when Halford came out...the most heaviest of metal peeps...saying it, I still can't say it...I kid...I love that part in old dad's with bill burr, talking about it...

When you feel safe
When you feel warm
That's when I rise
That's when I crawl
Gliding on mist
Hardly a sound
Bringing the kiss
Evils abound
In the dead of night love bites, love bites
In the dead of night love bites
Into your room
Where in deep sleep
There you lie still
To you I creep (which is just creepy, but the tune is so heavy, you can forgive it)
Then I descend
Close to your lips
Across you I bend
You smile as I sip
Now you are mine
In my control
One taste of your life
And I own your soul
Softly you stir
Gently you moan
Lust's in the air
Wake as I groan
In the dead of night love bites, love bites
In the dead of night love bites (bites)
In the dead of night love bites, love bites
In the dead of night love
Bites you
Invites you
To feast in the night
Excites you
Delights you
It drains you to white
Love bites
You knew at first sight
You'd enjoy my attack
That with my first bite
There'd be no turning back
So come in my arms
I strike any hour
I will return
To trap and devour
In the dead of night love bites, love bites
In the dead of night love bites (bites)
In the dead of night love bites, love bites
In the dead of night love bites, love bites
Love bites
Love bites
Love bites
Love bites
Love bites
Love bites
Love bites
