Lyrics Creeper - Rose Tattoo

Creeper

Slips on his sneakers and slides down the stairs
Out into the moonlight and the cold night air
As he glides through the darkness
He leaves no trace
A spectre in the night a man with no face
He’s a sad gambler
He’s that midnight rambler
He’s a sad man, and he’s a bad man
He’s a creeper
Slinking in the shadows and hiding in the park
Silent velvet temple so still an so dark
He’ll perform this wicked ritual again and again
Nothin' short of murder will ease this pain
He’s an all day sleeper
He’s a midnight creeper
He’s a sad man, such a bad man
Creeper
He’s a sad man, he’s such a bad man
He’s a creeper
07. Man About Town
Now the bloods been spilt
We must make our pact
Declare ourselves for who we are
That’s a cold hard fact
Eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
That’s the game we play
Step on me, and I’ll step all over you
It’s always gonna be that way
Don’t push your luck
It’s a long way down
Now you’re dealing with
The man in this town
I’m a king without a crown, I wont sit down
You can’t pull me down, I’m the man in this town
Now the stage is set.
Now it’s time to act
I gotta know who I’m standing with
And if ya gonna watch my back
Are you staunch when the shit hits the fan?
Or are you running away
Do I depend on you my friend?
So I live to fight another day
Don’t push your luck
You won’t face me down
I’m the king of these streets, I’m the king of this town
I’m the man about town
Yeah I ain’t foolin' around
You won’t pull me down
I’m the man about town
Kindness and weakness
A friend of mine used to say
It’s a lesson that’s worth learning
It might save your life today
Don’t push your luck
It' a long way down
I’m the king of these streets, I’m the king of this town
I’m the man about town
You won’t put me down
I’m the man about town
Each life he takes can never be the last
Christian forgiveness slipping from his grasp
From a life of desperate carnage, there is no escape
The freedom he craves never more than a taste
He’s a sad gambler
He’s that midnight rambler
He’s an all day sleeper
He’s that midnight creeper
He’s a sad man, such a bad man
He’s the midnight creeper
