Night Wolf
Krokus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I walk the city streets
And I'm looking for some tushie
I want to feel, I want to touch
And not just some hoochie koochie
Nine to five, half alive
Devil in a sheepskin
I'm going down in sin
I remember shadows
I'm leaving for my grave
Something's in the air tonight
You can smell it all the way
[Chorus]
Night wolf, Night wolf
Burning with desire
Night wolf, night wolf
Turn my heart on fire
Night wolf, night wolf
Burning with desire
Night wolf, night wolf
Turn my heart on fire
I get my kicks
From rock and roll
Attracted to sensation
Getting high, going out of control
There's a fire in my soul
I'm a tail right on your tail
Looking to get laid
Murder's up, cheap for some
Good times going to stay
Hanging in the shadows
I'm looking for some more
Open up your pearly gates
I'm standing at your door
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Turn my heart on fire
Turn my heart
Turn my heart
Turn my heart
Turn my heart on fire
Fire, fire, fire
The song Night Wolf by Krokus describes the wild and reckless lifestyle of a man who is seeking excitement, sensation, and pleasure. The singer walks the city streets and searches for a woman to satisfy his desires, but he is not interested in cheap thrills; he wants to feel and touch something real. He is tired of the mundane and monotonous routine of a nine to five job, which makes him feel half alive. The singer feels like a devil in a sheepskin, which means that he has a wicked side that he tries to conceal. However, tonight he cannot hide his true nature and decides to embrace his inner beast, ready to go down in sin. He is aware of the danger that lurks in the shadows, but he still finds himself attracted to it, as if there is something in the air that makes him crave for more.
The chorus of the song is about a night wolf, who is burning with desire and who is turning the singer's heart on fire. The night wolf is a metaphor for a wild and passionate lover who is unleashing the singer's primal instincts. The singer is drawn to this person because they share the same love for rock and roll and the same appetite for sensation. The night wolf represents the epitome of freedom and excitement, and the singer wants to be a part of it. However, the night wolf is also dangerous and potentially lethal, like fire that can burn out of control.
