creature of the night

i am a creature of the night

it's the only thing that feels right

yeah

it's the only way that i get by

i hope you don't mind

not as inspired in the daylight

i'm too distracted by everything in sight

if i just wait until everybody says goodnight

i'll get it done right

midnight comes around

there's no way i am laying down

i'm on a roll

i'm in control

i've got to keep the oil burning

and my little wheels a-turning up the road

it's all i know

i am a creature of the night

i am a creature of the night

you're in a dream and i'm awake

i could lay next to you but i would only shake

and everybody thinks i'm making a mistake

for staying up so late

i'm squeezing extra hours out of days

i may seem crazy

trust me

everything's okay

and if the sun comes up the birds will start to play

i've let it slip away

it's in the middle of the night that i don't need to know what's right

it's up to me where i should be

i'm on my feet

i'm on my bike

i'm doing anything i like

i'm in a tree across the street

i am a creature of the night

i am a creature of the night

well every evening there's a fight

behind these heavy heavy eyes

i'll be all right i'm sleeping when i die

i know tomorrow won't be easy

that's if anybody sees me

i'm in the grass

asleep at last

midnight comes around there's no way i'm laying down

i'm on a roll

i'm in control

i've got to keep the oil burning

and my little wheels a-turning up the road

it's all i know

i am a creature of the night

i am a creature of the night

yeah

i am a creature of the night

i am a creature of the night

i am a creature of the night
