Looks like a quiet man
But don’t make no mistakes
Seems to be in no hurry to start
The band is waiting on the stage
Then he takes his glasses off
After asking for a shot
Holds the microphone with his hand
And counts from one to four
He’s a creature of the night with a bloody black soul
He sings the blues like nobody will
He’s a creature of the night with a bloody black soul
He really knows what hides in a thrill
He put a spell on you
And the place is getting hot
To make you dance like only the damned do
The ceremony must go on
Flicks the curls out of his eyes
And points a finger at you
Squeezes your heart and then distils
A liqueur that will be you cure
He’s a creature of the night with a bloody black soul
He sings the blues like nobody will
Look at him whisper and shout and howl and growl
And now it’s time to go to the bridge
And now he’s singing The Coasters’
Young Blood
With a malicious grin
As he scratches his gut
And he’s been loving you too long
To stop now
And swears begging on his knees
He’s a creature of the night…
He’s gonna make it all roll,
make it all roll, make it all roll.
They call him the Love man
Bloody black soul
Mr. Pitiful
Bloody black soul
Now it's time to go home
Bloody black soul
I said it's time to go home now baby
Bloody black soul
I wanna thank you
Bloody black soul
May you have a nice death...
Bloody black soul
I said hoo!
