I've wondered that as well.  We talked about this on the board before and nobody really gave any ideas.  For some reason in my head I always hear   "xxxxxxxx to suck his blood" but that's not right I don't think.

I still think it's "a beast to suck your blood".  Which is obviously a reference to Jesus.  ;)

Maybe this is a retarded suggestion, but has anyone tried playing it backwards? It doesn't sound like a reversed line, but it may still be backwards speech.

Just a left-field thing.

I thought it was "the beast and succubus." but I'm where everyone else is on that one, don't really know.

I have oftened wondered what that lyric was also.  Call it the power of suggestion, but I just listened to the song in my office and I now swear he says "a bitch to suck your nuts".  Thanks Olliges !!!

By the way, my 4-year old daughter loves to put in Z and dance like a maniac.  Looks like we are going to have to skip over this song now   ;)

If she asks, it's : "I VANT TO SUCK YER BLUUUDDDD"

Edit: Or maybe vampire references aren't appropriate for 4 year olds, either?

Sucking blood might be easier to explain than sucking the other....   well maybe not.  If she asks, I guess I will just let her mom explain it to her

My vote's for "a beast to suck your blood"--creepy and mysterious all at once...
