[00:03.23]Words and music by roddy frame
[00:06.12]Still, so, here we go, nighthawk calls again,
[00:20.58]Meeting after midnight like we do
[00:29.33]Flesh bared, never scared, know their kind too well.
[00:39.45]"Grab that gretsch before the truth hits town",
[00:43.27]You whispered to me as they fell.
[00:48.30]Chorus:
[00:49.24]And when I'm safe and sound with nothing left to send,
[00:56.89]The bugle sounds again.
[01:07.16]The cards are on the table now and every other cliche
[01:11.80]Somehow fits me like a glove.
[01:16.21]You know that I'd be loathe to call it love.
[01:24.22]For strength will come to tower above
[01:27.80]The things that I have learned to love
[01:30.37]And just as I'm about to say 'amen',
[01:34.62]The bugle sounds again.
[01:43.65]The vampires made a killing, filled their pockets up with shillings
[01:48.18]Saying 'someone has to pay' and you were still in hiding
[01:54.71]Singing 'come and cry beside me' so I ran away.
[02:07.82]And when I'm safe and sound with nothing left to send,
[02:28.71]The bugle sounds again.
