Midnight Creeper Lyrics

Well I come in through your window
I see your family there
Yes I'm the midnight creeper
When I go creepin y'all better beware

Well Your child is gently sleeping
Pleasant dreams are in his head
That wife of yours is a sweet young thing
When I leave your wife'll be dead

Well my steel is sharp and silent
The devil guides my hand
Well I just love to slit them throats
And creep all around this land

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Um a song about a guy sneaking into someone's house in the dead of night and killing the family with a knife, and "the devil guides my hand." Is there anything more fucking awsome than a song about that?

From an interview:

As for the accuracy of Josh's describing Jesse as a gun-totin', porn-lovin', meth-huffin' son of a bitch? "Yes, I am very pro-gun," says Jesse. "As the saying goes, 'God made men and women, and Sam Colt made them equal.'" According to Jesse, the video for "Midnight Creeper" – in which he fantasizes about extracting revenge on his ex-wife – has already been banned by MTV.

jesse's an evil genius. I read somewhere that he got the nickname "the devil" from josh homme in high school.. jesse used to get picked on, but he'd always get revenge on people in weird ways, liek playing mind games with them or something, I dunno. But anway, once, Josh was like... "you're the fuckin devil, man".. cos he's like... crazy and a little bit twisted :) The first time I heard this was live... Jesse was so lovely and excitable and just jumping round on stage all night being awesome, and then suddenly he came out with this, and I was like... wtf?! Arggh!
