Lyrics

(Lyrics by Gerrit Graham)

Midnight perdition
Bad news, the wolfman's at the door
Guess I hold my position
'Cause I know I can't fall off the floor

Even so
Well I guess it's on with the show
Even so
Hell but I don't know
I don't know...

Begging your pardon
But I don't think that I can stay
This particular garden
Ain't never seen the light of day

Even so
Guess we're talkin touch and go
Even so
Yeah but I don't know
I don't know...

Wish you were naked
Wish you were wholesome and sincere
Wish I could fake it
Wish I were anywhere but here

Even so
You sure make yes look like no
Even so
Yeah but I don't know
I don't know...

Here come the wolfman
He tell me I'm his long lost son
I say "suit yourself man"
Looks like this night has just begun

Even so
Guess it's on with the show
Even so
Talkin midnight rodeo
Even so
He ain't no kitty cat no
Even so
Hey but I don't know
Even so...
