Midnightville

Walking round in midnightville
The roads don’t lead nowhere
The houses have all gone dark
Crumblin’ into thin air

Walking on the cracked concrete
the lights barely flicker above
Wandering the red brick streets
searching for some kind of love

I ain’t looking for a touch or even a kiss
Maybe just a little push to get me outta this

Walking round in midnightville
the trains they rumble along
Car by car and stop by stop
the same old troubled song

Walking round among these once
proud hourlies
Line after line of all the
closed down factories

I ain’t asking for someone to have my back
Maybe just a little ambition it’s what some say I lack

BREAK: Hate has joined us here and a fear rules the day
A hollow shell now where we dwell lies in decay
Oppressed, distressed, regressed all while we’re wakin up
hints and glints and tints on the side of a shakin’ cup
Hands that shake and take the stake out of the ground
Hearts that break yet embrace what’s going down

Walking round in this old town
faded walls and faded lives
Wish I could just keep walkin’ and
kiss this place goodbye

I ain’t asking for tears no sympathy
Maybe just a little hope for what’s left inside of me
I ain’t looking for a touch or even a kiss
Maybe just a little push to get me outta this
I ain’t asking for someone to have my back
Maybe just a little ambition it’s what some say I lack
I ain’t asking for tears no sympathy
Maybe just a little hope for what’s left inside of me
oh oh oh
