[Verse 1]
I just kicked out the floor lights
But the spotlight operator's
Shining shame on all my chosen words
And my hit-parading
I can see him start to sneer

[Refrain]
Get me out of here
Get me out of here

[Verse 2]
And what started out in earnest
Now seems more like a jest
And I was your conquering hero
Is now an uninvited guest
And the floor seats are sensing fear

[Refrain]
Get me out of here
Get me out of here

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You'll be the greatest rockstar ever
If you get off on loneliness
Cause it's a wilderness
It's like a wilderness

[Chorus 1]
And the band said, call the tune
They're waiting up for you
Yeah they're waiting up for you
And you're backstage in the dark, yeah
Can you stand?
The audience commands you to
Stand up for the band
Well, I think I lost my spark

[Verse 3]
'Cus my damsel with the dowry
Walked into the hotel bowery
As some junior banker's lusty conquest
And I'm too shocked to shed a tear

[Refrain]
Get me out of here
Get me out of here

[Pre-Chorus 2]
To where the greatest rockstar ever
Needs a new address

[Chorus 2]
Call the tune
They're waiting up for you
Yeah they're waiting up for you
Is everything alright?
And can you stand?
The audience commands you to
Stand up for the band
You're a creature of the night
She's a creature of the night
She's a creature of the night

[Bridge]
Tour bus takes me home
'cross the Golden Gate Bridge
To leftover peas and a note on the fridge:
She's out, leave the keys
And her tone is abridged but the message is clear
Get me out of here

[Verse 4]
Crashing in the backstage
The show's a smashing great success
Thank you, darling
The band's a gateway drug, and I'm a tragic mess
But one more time the lights they fade in
This song's for you, my bashful maiden
Whose face looked like my wife
Is now as cold and calculating
As a cosmetic surgeon's knife

[Refrain 2]
Somebody save her life
Somebody save her life

[Chorus 3]
The band said, call the tune
They're waiting up for you
Waiting up for you
Is everything alright, and
Can you stand?
The audience commands you to
Stand up for the band
You're a creature of...
The greatest rock star ever
If you get off on loneliness

[Outro]
Cause it's hard to get it right
When you're a creature of the night
And she's a creature of the night
Oh

Third Eye Blind

Third Eye Blind from San Francisco Mission District Mostly guitars with other things knocking around Riffs and deep beats Lyrics are expanded in a kinda hip hop way That wrong thing you’re not supposed to say- we say it Black on Black pretty much from the beginning It took us so long to get things this way but it really feels like we are underway now Jacked on coffee we are a fabulously disorganized bunch We seek impact with friends try to surf whenever we can dirty jokes looking out for each other we have eyes and a voice so no surprise when we speak the fuck up We care about shit No sequencers no backing tracks not a DJ group We believe in the gathering power of music Guess you could say we are a motherfucking rock band Born in shadow, made of lions, loud as fuck
