🦇 BAT IN THE DARK 🦇

Intro

Let me tell you 'bout a creature of the night

Looks so innocent, stays just out of sight...

Verse 1

Once upon a time in a forest far away

The birds and beasts were fighting, had been fighting every day

And in a cave nearby there lived a creature small and sly

Neither bird nor beast exactly, loved to watch them from up high

When the birds were winning, oh she sang among the flock

Spread her little wings and said "I'm with you round the clock"

But when the beasts grew stronger and the tide began to turn

She flew down to the other side — she never seemed to learn

Pre-Chorus

She smiled at everyone she met

Pretended she could just forget

But dear, oh dear, everybody knows

Which way the wind blows

Chorus

Bat in the dark

Can't stand the light

Friendly by day

Gone by night

Bat in the dark

Lives her little lie

Pretty little creature

Got nowhere to hide

Verse 2

Now the war is over and the forest found its peace

Neither birds nor beasts would let her join their feast

"We remember how you played us, how you switched without a care"

She flew back to her cave alone — nobody was there

So she hangs there in the darkness where she made her little bed

Smiling at the shadows of the things she never said

Every sunny morning when the other creatures rise

She stays hidden in the dark — afraid of open skies

Pre-Chorus

She smiled at everyone she met

Pretended she could just forget

But dear, oh dear, everybody knows

Which way the wind blows

Chorus

Bat in the dark

Can't stand the light

Friendly by day

Gone by night

Bat in the dark

Lives her little lie

Pretty little creature

Got nowhere to hide

Break

(Neither bird...)

(Neither beast...)

Just a shadow in between...

Build

When the light comes shining through

Every creature sees right through

All the games you thought you played

Every debt must be repaid

Chorus

Bat in the dark

Can't stand the light

Friendly by day

Gone by night

Bat in the dark

Lives her little lie

Pretty little creature

Got nowhere to hide

Outro

Sleep tight little bat

In your cave so deep

Everybody knows

What you sow you reap...
