lyrics

What you doing up and out?
Its 4:30 AM, middle of the week.
Don't you know this time of day
is reserved for people like me,
creatures of the night.
For I am what the night hides,
I am the beast.
We sleep when were awake
and live in dreams. OH!

But I sure am glad to see you,
Doing what you do.
For the glow of your bedroom
i'll slowly get to know you.

We have yet to meet,
but that's alright with me.
I tend to make a scene.
I guess i'll wait and see.

There's a bigger bitch to build on,
chewing at my head.
I can't stay near my dear,
that counter feeling selfless.

We have yet to meet,
but that's alright with me.
I tend to make a scene.
I guess i'll wait and see.

What you doing up and out?
Its 4:30 AM, middle of the week.
don't you know this time of day
is reserved for people like me
creatures of the night
for i am what the night hides
i am the beast
we sleep when were awake
and live in dreams

If there's one thing on my mind,
at the present date and time.
When out comes harvest moon,
I slowly drip inside you.
Floating through the streets,
my head begins to ring.
I hear my own ears bleed.
I've seemed to lost my feet.
I should have a seat.
