Night Prowler - Dave Meniketti

Somewhere a clock strikes midnight

And there’s a full moon in the sky

You hear a dog bark in the distance

You hear someone’s baby cry

A rat runs down the alley

And a chill runs down your spine

And someone walks across your grave

And you wish the sun would shine

'Cause no one’s going to warn you

And no one’s going to yell, «Attack!»

And you don’t feel the steel

Till it’s hanging out your back

I’m your night prowler (I sleep in the day)

I’m your night prowler (get out of my way)

Yeah, I’m the night prowler (watch you tonight)

Yes, I’m the night prowler, when you turn out the light

Too scared to turn your light out

'Cause there’s something on your mind

Was that a noise outside the window?

What’s that shadow on the blind?

As you lie there naked

Like a body in a tomb

Suspended animation

As I slip into your room

I’m your night prowler (break down your door)

I’m your night prowler (crawlin' 'cross your floor)

I’m the night prowler (make a mess of you) Yes, I will

Night prowler

And I’m tellin' this to you

There ain’t nothin', there ain’t nothin'

Nothin' you can do

«Shazbot, nanu nanu»
