Dracula
Sharon Needles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Midnight love
So strange, so new
Me and you
In this body bag build for two
I may be walking into the unknown
But at least with you I am not alone

You are the King of the castle
Insatiable fiend
Hearin' death rattle
You know what I mean
Your tongue as a sharp as a widow's peak
You're going in deep

A taste of your lips
And I am paralyzed
You're casting your spell
And I am hypnotized

You're a hellhound coming for me
Treat me like a piece of meat
Once bitten, twice shy
Be my Bela Lugosi

Dra-Cu-La (la-la-la)
Dra-Cu-La (la-la-la)
Dra-Cu-La (la-la-la)
You're my Draculalalalala

Impale by the kiss of death
Our first Ah was my last breath
Set in stone under your control
I almost think I have a soul

You are the king of the castle
Insatiable fiend
Hearin' death rattle
You know what I mean
Your tongue as a sharp as a widow's peak
You're going in deep

Forever young
Forever night
Rebel of dawn
Come take a bite

You're a hellhound coming for me
Treat me like a piece of meat
Once bitten, twice shy
Be my Bela Lugosi

Dra-Cu-La (la-la-la)
Dra-Cu-La (la-la-la)
Dra-Cu-La (la-la-la)
You're my Draculalalalala

Dra-Cu-La (la-la-la)
Dra-Cu-La (la-la-la)




Dra-Cu-La (la-la-la)
You're my Draculalalalala

Overall Meaning

In this song, Sharon Needles sings about her love for Dracula, or rather, her love for being a part of the vampire world. She describes the forbidden love between her and Dracula as "midnight love," something strange and new to her. The body bag is a metaphor for her willingness to completely surrender herself to Dracula, knowing full well that being a vampire is a dangerous, life-altering choice. She admits to walking into the unknown, but at least she's not alone because she has Dracula.


The chorus of the song is a repeated chant of "Dra-Cu-La," which serves to reinforce the song's underlying theme of Needles' desire to be part of the vampire world. She wants to be bitten and turned into a vampire by Dracula so that they can be together forever. She even references Bela Lugosi, the actor who played Dracula in the 1931 film.


The lyrics of the song give a nod to the stereotypes and folklore surrounding the vampire legend, such as the references to Dracula's insatiable appetite and sharp tongue. The song also explores the darker side of love, as Needles describes being "impaled by the kiss of death" and the idea of being under Dracula's control, almost losing her soul.

I'm disappointed Sharon doesn't get more views. Her stuff is always creative and full of horror references while still being campy. I haven't seen any Drag racer yet to be as unique as Sharon

@austinseymour8953

Manila Luzon

@wackity.7879

Austin Seymour​ another great queen. But isn't really unique

@austinseymour8953

Says You

@wackity.7879

@austinseymour8953

I love Sharon so much, her music is so different from the other basic drag queens. Considering the gay community is filled with sassy flamboyant people, Sharon represents them but most importantly the club kids/outsiders/outcasts/the freaks/ weirdos etc . Sharon Needles fucking slayed the living shit out of me .

@poornadc4095

This was actually good. Not ironic good, or parody good but actually really good. Like a proper singer with a record label good.

@cassstorm1003

Its a fascinating turn for me. The aesthetic is Sharon very much. But as soon as the singing began I could only think "This sounds more like Aaron singing rather than Sharon" which I honestly enjoy, Aarons voice fits this song perfectly while you can still hear the Sharon in there and it blends well. I also really enjoy the homages. Honestly one of the best Nosferatu costumes I've seen.

@NikaTedder

You basically put into words my exact thoughts as well.
