[Verse 1]
I step sideways into the smoke
Teeth catch fire like blood-red moons
Eyes scrape the dark, unsympathetic
Bats twist ’round me in impossible arcs
Fingers tremble in my gravity
Hearts drum in Morse code I ignore
Everybody wants the taste
No one tames the wings
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I don’t apologize for weight
I don’t kneel to your spark
Step closer if you dare the fever
Step back if you’re mortal
[Chorus 1]
I’m Night World Sexy
A shard of moon beneath your ribs
I’m Night World Sexy
The itch you can’t quit
I’m the black tongue of a carnival
Flittering wings you can’t name
Everybody wants me
But no one can stake a claim
[Verse 2]
I move like a blade through velvet
Slow, crooked, precise
Whispers curl like bats in smoke
Fingers brush, vaaa-nish in the dark
Pressed up against your headboard
I’m the fever in the alley
The heartbeat under the floor
Gravity bends… around me
The air folds… like paper
I am not comfort
I am the sly
[Pre-Chorus 2]
They crave the rush
But flinch at the cut
Say my name
Or scatter into dust
[Chorus 2]
I’m Night World Sexy
The spark you can’t cage
I’m Night World Sexy
The shadow that bites the page
I’m the claw in the corner
The tremor under your skin
I’m the impossible pull
The fever you can’t win
Everybody wants me
But nobody dares to begin
[Guitar Solo— serpentine, jagged, teasing; bends like smoke twisting around steel]
[Bridge]
I don’t chase, I don’t wait
I am the pulse that decides
Step closer if you’re foolish
Step back if you’ve survived
[Final Chorus]
I’m Night World Sexy
The shadow you worship
I’m Night World Sexy
The fire you fear
I’m the winged whisper under doors
The flicker above your bed
I’m the moon… bending red
The world… tilting under my tread
Everybody wants me
From afar they crave
But nobody’s brave
To survive the Night World wave
[Outro]
Step sideways
Or vanish
I am Night World Sexy
I am infinite
I am the bats
I am the impossible night
