I`m the nightwatchman and nothing gets behind my back
Work out at the goldmine in a tin can shack
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
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
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 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
