If you’re calm tonight, you might see his wings aflight;
And if you watch closely, your eyes might meet
The shadow of the bat in the Gotham night.
He’s the city obsession- the dark, lonely knight.
One boy alone, two dead at his feet.
If you’re calm tonight, you might see his wings aflight.
Seeking vengeance from plight to plight,
He broods until they call and greet
The shadow of the bat in the Gotham night.
Some catch a glimpse of him in the moonlight,
Waiting for the laugh-so vulgar, so sweet.
If you’re calm tonight, you might see his wings aflight.
Or sometimes, closer to midnight
You might see (with crimes accrete)
The shadow of the bat in the Gotham night.
A mystery, a stranger who will save you from a fight.
He’ll rescue you and vanish, all in a single heartbeat.
If you’re calm tonight, you might see his wings aflight-
The shadow of the bat in the Gotham night.
