Dracula's Castle

"Dracula's Castle" is seventh track of Waiting for the Sirens' Call by New Order. The song was named after the studio that the album was recorded in, St. Catherine’s Court, supposedly being haunted.

"Dracula's Castle" has never been performed live and has no alternate versions.

Themes
The second verse features a potential reference to "Bizarre Love Triangle", "I'd run around for you / Get down on my knees" and "Every time I see you falling / I get down on my knees and pray". Though, it could be a coincidence, since kneeling is mentioned a few more times in the song later.

The character of Dracula initially appeared in Sumner's lyrics in the first verse of "King For A Day", so it may be referencing that. Although the songs seem to share no other similarities.

Lyrics
What's the matter here? Something ain't right Tell me it's not true Tell me it's all right

There was time I'd run around for you Get down on my knees I swear it's true But you came in the night And you took my heart To Dracula's castle In the dark

Now I've gotta tell you Now you've gotta know I want you to stay But you're gonna go Don't leave me alone You'll tear me apart You're in control

So goodbye love (goodbye love) You were not real You came to stay But now you leave I can't explain The way you feel We once stood high But now we kneel

You can't keep on running How far'd you think you'll get You got the world if you want it I ain't done with you yet I work hard just to keep you by my side Every day and almost every night In the end you took away my heart Left me alone there in the dark

So goodbye love You were not real You came to stay But now you leave I can't explain The way you feel We once stood high But now we kneel

So goodbye love You were not real You came to stay But now you leave I can't explain The way you feel We once stood high But now we kneel
