| 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 sneer
|
| Get me out of here
|
| Get me out of here
|
| And what started out in earnest
|
| Now seems more like a jest
|
| And I was your conquering hero
|
| Is now an uninvited guest
|
| And the floor seats are sensing fear
|
| Get me out of here
|
| Get me out of here
|
| You’ll 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, call the tune
|
| They’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
|
| 'Cus my damsel with the dowry
|
| Walked into the hotel bowery
|
| As some junior banker’s lusty conquest
|
| And I’m too shocked to shed a tear
|
| Get me out of here
|
| Get me out of here
|
| To where the greatest rockstar ever
|
| Needs a new address
|
| Call the tune
|
| They’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 night
|
| Tour bus takes me home
|
| 'cross the Golden Gate Bridge
|
| To leftover peas and a note on the fridge:
|
| She’s out, leave the keys
|
| And her tone is abridged but the message is clear
|
| Get me out of here
|
| 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
|
| The band said, call the tune
|
| They’re waiting up for you
|
| 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 rock star ever
|
| If you get off on loneliness
|
| Cause it’s hard to get it right
|
| When you’re a creature of the night
|
| And she’s a creature of the night
|
| Oh |
