Still, so, here we go, nighthawk calls again Meeting after midnight like we do Flesh bared, never scared, know their kind too well "Grab that Gretsch before the truth hits town" You whispered to me as they fell Chorus: And when I'm safe and sound with nothing left to send The bugle sounds again The cards are on the table now and every other cliche Somehow fits me like a glove You know that I'd be loathe to call it love
For strength will come to tower above The things that I have learned to love And just as I'm about to say 'amen' The bugle sounds again The vampires made a k**ing, filled their pockets up with shillings Saying 'someone has to pay' and you were still in hiding Singing 'come and cry beside me' so I ran away And when I'm safe and sound with nothing left to send The bugle sounds again
