They Only Come Out At Night
Lordi (CrazyShark) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know you saw them, but no one ever listens,
They'll be long gone by the time the sun has risen,
You feel 'em lurking, hear 'em howling in the shadows,
Wreaking havoc on your perfect world

They are the tricking trolls
They got the bell that tolls
Flash at the edge of your sight

They only come out at night [x4]

The shadows breathe with a venom like no other,
A silent evil where there shouln't be another, no no,
I feel 'em lurking, hear 'em howling in the shadows,
Wreaking havoc on your perfect world

They are the tricking trolls
They got the bell that tolls
Flash at the edge of your sight

They only come out at night [x7]

[Solo]

Don't know what's at stake,
I think they're right beside me,
I gotta stay awake,
And keep them all from biting

They only come out at night
They only come out at night
They only come out at night




They only come out at night
[Repeat]
