Wild Night Lyrics

At the edge of town there is a beast

Who waits all day to take his feast

And when the sun goes down

He preys on the weak

Leaves their dead bodies lying down in the creek

But the town keeps this all quiet

'Cause if they don't, it'll be a riot

Another two went missing last week

But they know that he culls the sheep, yeah

Bodies piling up, bloated and blue

A moonless night and he's coming for you, oh no

He prowls again as the night draws in

He smells the perfume on her skin

He stalks and hunts his prey

No one will look for a runaway

She screamed so loud it would wake the dead

But in one fell swoop goes off her head

She's met an early grave

And with cold, dead eyes he turns away

He's got them in his sights

It's gonna be a wild night, yeah

You hear the sirens in the distance

But if you screamed, there'd be no one to listen

Ran to the woods off some quiet street

Well, that's just where he likes to feed, dummy

How did you get so far from home

You ran the other way you should have gone

And now you're shaking and you're all alone

Deep in the woods, girl, he's got you good, yeah

And from this dream you can't awake

Cause it's real and you're on his dinner plate

He prowls again as the night draws in

He smells the perfume on her skin

He stalks and hunts his prey

No one will look for a runaway

She screamed so loud it would wake the dead

But in one fell swoop goes off her head

She's met an early grave

And with cold, dead eyes he turns away

He's got them in his sights

It's gonna be a wild night, yeah

But the town knows what to do

Bury the bones and hide the truth, oh no

He prowls again as the night draws in

He smells the perfume on her skin

He stalks and hunts his prey

No one will look for a runaway

You screamed so loud it would wake the dead

But in one fell swoop goes off your head

You've met an early grave

And with cold, dead eyes he turns away

He's got you in his sights

It's gonna be a wild night, yeah
