Kurt sings lead on this mid-tempo cheating song. "From a parking lot across the street, I watch her do a midnight creep, She jumps into a brand new Jeep, And she's gone." It's easy to imagine Ray Davies singing this one. Kris Rodgers' kills it on organ.
lyrics
From a parking lot across the street,
I watch her do a midnight creep,
She jumps into a brand new Jeep,
And she's gone,
She knows I work the graveyard shift,
To buy her all those special gifts,
Up till now I must have missed,
The signs,
And while the town's asleep,
She does a midnight creep,
A lesser man would cry because it cuts so deep,
Does everybody know except for me,
She's on a midnight creep,
I follow in my broke down van,
Feelin' like I'm only half a man,
Cheated on, once again,
Oh no,
I thought I knew her pretty well,
I see now that, you can never tell,
The line between, love and hell,
Is so thin,
And while the town's asleep,
She does a midnight creep,
A lesser man would cry because it cuts so deep,
Does everybody know except for me,
She's on a midnight creep,
They pull up to a rich man's house,
Gonna sneak up close, to check them out,
I’m holding back, I want to shout,
Her name, her name,
At 3 AM they reemerge,
He drives her home, I'm on the verge,
Of giving in to a savage urge,
But I don't,
I simply tell her it’s time to pack,
You just left a rich man's sack,
Hit the road, girl, don't come back,
We're through,
And while the town's asleep,
You do a midnight creep,
A lesser man would cry because it cuts so deep,
Does everybody know except for me?
Does everybody know except for me?
Does everybody know except for me?
You’re on a midnight creep.
