Creeper - Rose Tattoo

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
