Lyrics
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 the trees above them 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 honey, 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 honey, 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...
