Subject: RE: vampires real or not
Well Nerd, I guess your interpretation of the term has relevance in that particular instance. You could even bend the words in this song to that interpretation if you wished.

I tend to believe my friend who wrote it when he says the song is a double entendre. The ideas expressed are speaking in reality about sex and are only thinly cloaked as a vampire song.

Night Rider copyright 1979 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson

I travel by the stars the moonlight lights my way
I travel by the stars the moonlight lights my way
I am a night rider I can't stand the light of day

When you ride by night you don't see where you been
When you ride by night you don't see where you been
So there's no regret when the passion passes on again

chorus:
I come sneakin', creepin' slippin, slidin' silently on my way
Gonna grip you, grab you, gonna stun you, gonna stab you
'Til the sun lights up the day
I'm a night rider you're never gonna see my face
Make no mistake...it was me, I spent the evening at your place

You'll never see me when I go sneakin' by
You'll never see me when I go sneakin' by
But you'll feel my touch know my mournful cry

chorus:
