Creatures After Dark

I'm a victim in a world of darkness
I'm a stranger in a fake paradise
I'm a prophet in a ship of fools
That's sinking down, down
I'm not looking for a lover in bondage
Whores or virgins in their
Velvet prime
All the singers in the world got
Nothing left to say
Well c'mon c'mon c'mon
You really should go on
Go on go on go on
I'm a vicar, I'm a whore
You are nothing, we are more
We're just creatures after dark
After dark
Are you wishing for a piece of magic
Or some ordinary sanity
I'm just looking for a girl
Who ain't in a hurry to die, oh my
Politicians in their hiding place
Turn to monsters when the sun goes down
Lonely children looking at us
Waiting for a sign
(Chorus)
look at me and say I'm blind but
you don't know me at all
think you may really know my mind
you don't know me at all
how can one such as you
see through me like I can see through you
I'm a victim in a world of darkness
I'm a stranger in a fake paradise
I'm a prophet in a ship of fools
That's sinking down, down
All the rules in the book can't hold me
All their troubles won't tie me down
All the villains in the world
Can't stop me if they try
(Chorus)
