I am a creature of the night
It's the only thing that feels right
Yeah, it's the only way that I get by
I hope you don't mind
Not as inspired in the daylight
I'm too distracted by everything in sight
If I just wait until everybody says goodnight
I'll get it done right

Midnight comes around, there's no way I am laying down
I'm on a roll, I'm in control
I've got to keep the oil burning
And my little wheels a-turning up the road
It's all I know
I am a creature of the night (Fight! Fight!)
I am a creature of the night (Fight! Fight!)

You're in a dream and I'm awake
I could lay next to you but I would only shake
And everybody thinks I'm making a mistake
For staying up so late
I'm squeezing extra hours out of days
I may seem crazy, trust me, everything's okay
And if the sun comes up the birds will start to play
I've let it slip away

It's in the middle of the night that I don't need to know what's right
It's up to me where I should be
I'm on my feet, I'm on my bike
I'm doing anything I like
I'm in a tree across the street
I am a creature of the night (Fight! Fight!)
I am a creature of the night (Fight! Fight!)

Well every evening there's a fight
Behind these heavy heavy eyes
I'll be all right I'm sleeping when I die
I know tomorrow won't be easy
That's if anybody sees me
I'm in the grass, asleep at last

Midnight comes around there's no way I'm laying down
I'm on a roll, I'm in control
I've got to keep the oil burning
And my little wheels a-turning up the road
It's all I know
I am a creature of the night (Fight! Fight!)
I am a creature of the night (Fight! Fight!)
Yeah, I am a creature of the night (Fight! Fight!)
I am a creature of the night (Fight! Fight!)
I am a creature of the night
