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
