Lyrics:
Johnny was an actor, oh you must have known
He wore his new max factor,
Nearly stole the show, you go
And tell him he's not the only one.
Night creatures, strangest features
white faces and painted eyes
Tongue teasers, oh you young decievers
Night creatures on your heels so high...
Angel was a dancer, with a mean guitar
Played the big romancer
Like a movie star,too far
Burning the film behind his eyes
Night creatures, strangest features
white faces and painted eyes
Tongue teasers, oh you young decievers
Night creatures on your heels so high...
Girly Jane was lonely,
She gave me such a fright
Well all her jewels were phoney
But they looked as nice as ice
freezing the light behind the stairs...
Night creatures, strangest features
white faces and painted eyes
Tongue teasers, oh you young decievers
Night creatures on your heels so high...
Words and music by Bill Nelson
