Bela Lugosi Sparkles!

 Following the sad death of Peter Murphy's street cred (he's in the new Twilight film...NOOOOOOO!) I've written him a song:

(ten minutes of bass playing and a guitar being played with a blunt plec sideways)

Stripe on stripe translucent foot-face
Back on the "book"
Bela Lugosi sparkles
The brats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bored to death
(sparkle sparkle sparkle)
Red apples line the black "books"
Bela Lugosi sparkles
(sparkle sparkle sparkle)
The virginal Twihards file past his tomb
Strewn with time's dead tulips
Bereft in deathly bloom
Alone in a darkened room
EMO!
Bela Lugosi sparkles
SPARKLE SPARKLE SPARKLE
Bela Lugosi sparkles
BEEEEEEEEELA SPARKLES, POOOOOOOOOOOR BEEEEEEEEELA,
BEEEEEEEEEEEELA SPARKLES, POOOOOOOOOOOR BEEEEEEEEEEEELAAAAAAAAAAA!
(repeat to fade)
*more sideways plec guitar*

Hopefully Bela Lugosi won't haunt me for that, I've been a big fan ever since I saw a film where he was on a ship (the Marie Celeste I think?) and he was the only one in the film that could act...
The apple and the tulip are reference to the Twilight book covers, I kind of want to burn my fingers now because I had to go on Stephanie Myer's website to find out what the flower was.
The proper tense (is that the right word?) on the sparkles, when it appears three times in a like would be "Spar-kles, spar-kles, spar-kles".
 You win points if you sang the whole thing and got the spar-kles right :)
