The Bugle Sounds Again

Still so

Here we go

Nighthawk calls again

Meeting after midnight

Like we do

Flesh bared

Never scared

Know their kind too well

"Grab that Gretsch before the truth hits town"

You whispered to me as they fell



And when I'm safe and sound

With nothing left to send

The bugle sounds again



The cards are on the table now

And every other cliche somehow fits me like a glove

You know that I'd be loathe to call it love.

For strength will come to tower above

The things that I have learned to love

And just as I'm about to say "amen"

The bugle sounds again.



The vampires made a killing

Filled their pockets up with shillings

Saying someone has to pay

And you were still in hiding

Singing "Come and cry beside me"

So I ran away



And when I'm safe and sound

With nothing left to send

The bugle sounds again

The bugle sounds again
