(verse 1)
I just kicked out the floor lights
But the spotlight operator's shining shame on all my chosen words and my chosen words and my
Hip parading
(Pre-Chorus)
I can see him start to sneer
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
(verse 2)
And what started out in earnest now seems more like a jest
And I was your concrete hero, is now an uninvited guest
(Pre-Chorus)
And the floor seats are sensing fear
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Could be the greatest rockstar ever
if you get off on loneliness
Cause it's a wilderness
It's like a wilderness
And the band said, come to,
we're waiting up for you,
yeah they're waiting up for you,
and you're backstage in the dark, yeah.
Can you stand? The audience commands
you to stand up for the band.
Well I think I lost my spark.
(verse 3)
My damsel with the dowry
walked into the hotel Bowery
Some junior banker's lusty conquest
(Pre-Chorus)
And I'm too shocked to shed a tear
Get me out of here.
Get me out of here.
Could be the greatest rockstar ever
Who needs a new address.
Come to, Yeah!
we're waiting up for you
yeah they're waiting up for you
is everything alright? Yeah
Can you stand? The audience commands
you to stand up for the band
You're a creature of the night
She's a creature of the night
She's a creature of the night
(Short Instrumental)
(Bridge)
To a bus take me over the Golden Gate Bridge
to leftover peas and a note on the fridge
She's holding the keys until the tone is abridged
but the message is clear
get me outta heeeere.
(Breakdown)
Crashing in the backstage, the show's a smashing great success (thank you darling)
The band's a gateway drug and I'm a tragic mess.
But one more time the lights they fade in
This song's for you, my bashful maiden,
whose face looked like my wife
is now as cold and calculating
as a cosmetic surgeon's knife
Somebody save her life
Somebody save her life
(End Chorus)
The band said, come on dude
we're waiting up for you
yeah they're waiting up for you
is everything alright?
Can you stand? The audience commands you to
Stand up for the band
You're a creature of
The greatest rockstar ever
if you get off on loneliness
Cause it's hard to get it right
when you're a creature of the night
She's a creature of the night
