Tooo many comments so maybe someone already mentioned this, but this song seems to parallel themes from Sylvia Plath's poem, Daddy. They both deal with the "electra complex" which i know lots of poetry/lyrics do, but whats most interesting is that both compare these poisonous lovers to vampires. "Another Western vampire different time same place" ,. really made me think that there may be some type of connection. I recommend you read the poem ...i'll post the last two stanzas here but its easy to find on the interenet, so decide for yourself:
If I've killed one man, I've killed two--
The vampire who said he was you
and drank my blood for a year,
Seven years, if you want to know.
Daddy, you can lie back now.
There's a stake in your fat black heart
And the villagers never like you.
They are dancing and stamping on you.
They always Knew it was you.
Daddy, daddy, you bastard, I'm through.
Bianca seems to be very interested in poetry so maybe she was influenced by sylvia plaths poem....just a thought
