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 concrete hero Is now an uninvited guest 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
My damsel with the dowry Walked into the hotel Bowery 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. Could be the greatest rockstar ever Who needs a new address
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 night She's a creature of the night She's a creature of the night
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 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, 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
