CREATURES OF THE NIGHT
(Rhythm Fig.1) w/ (Riff. 1)

Searching in the darkness, running from the day
Hiding from tomorrow, nothing left to say

Victims of the moment, future deep in doubt
Living in a whisper till we start to shout

We're creatures of the night, we're creatures of the night
(Rhythm Fig. 2 w/end. 1) w/ (Riff. 2)
Breathing in the madness, spitting out the lies
Searching for an answer, keep your alibis
(Rhythm Fig. 2 w/end. 2) w/ (Riff. 2)
Don't know where we're goin', just know where we've been
Remember when the clock strikes twelve, the losers always win

Searching in the darkness, running from the day
Hiding from tomorrow, nothing left to say
(Rhythm Fig. 2 w/end. 2) w/ (Riff. 2)
Gathering up our courage, ready for the fight
Howling in the shadows, till we start to bite
(Rhythm Fig. 3a)(4x)
We're creatures of the night, we're creatures of the night
We're creatures of the night, we're creatures of the night
