I just kicked out the floor lights
But the spotlight operator's shining shame
On all my chosen words and my
Hit parading
I can see him start to sneerGet me out of here
Get me out of hereAnd what started out in earnest
Now seems more like a jest
And I was your concrete hero
Is now an uninvited guest
And the floor seats are sensing fearGet me out of here
Get me out of hereCould be the greatest rockstar ever
If you get off on loneliness
'Cause it's a wilderness
It's like a wildernessAnd 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 sparkMy damsel with the dowry
Walked into the hotel Bowery
Some junior banker's lusty conquest
And I'm too shocked to shed a tearGet me out of here.
Get me out of here.
Could be the greatest rockstar ever
Who needs a new addressCome to
We're waiting up for you
Yeah they're waiting up for you
Is everything alright
And 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 nightTo 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 hereCrashing 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 knifeSomebody save her life
Somebody save her lifeThe band said, come to
We're waiting up for you
Yeah they're waiting up for you
Is everything alright
And 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
Creature of the night
She's a creature of the night
