The Night Watch Lyrics

The Night Watch

I’m the nightwatchman and nothing gets behind my back

Work out at the goldmine in a tin can shack
I’m the nightwatchman and nothing gets behind my back
Don’t come up behind cause I won’t be mincing my words
Work out at the goldmine in a tin can shack
Don’t play twenty questions with all of the scavenger birds
Don’t come up behind cause I won’t be mincing my words

Don’t play twenty questions with all of the scavenger birds
I’m the nightwatchman


I’m the nightwatchman
It’s up to me and the devil to do all the dirty work

Got a thousand dirty secrets rolled up in the sleeve of my shirt
It’s up to me and the devil to do all the dirty work
Don’t come up behind me, I will be playing for keeps
Got a thousand dirty secrets rolled up in the sleeve of my shirt
Don’t do this for good looks, I’ll do this so someday I’ll sleep
Don’t come up behind me, I will be playing for keeps

Don’t do this for good looks, I’ll do this so someday I’ll sleep
I’m the nightwatchman


I’m the nightwatchman
I know about secrets, I know what secrets are worth

Gold is a secret, they’re draggin it out of the dirt
I know about secrets, I know what secrets are worth

Gold is a secret, they’re draggin it out of the dirt
Yes, I’m the nightwatchman

Yes, I’m the nightwatchman
