hear the winds rip this city
whistle through a broken heart
blowing chances down empty streets
where all bad habits start
it’s a subway tunnel seizure
with a runaway phantom train
and the taxis run like urine
through this junkie town’s last good vein
and it’s midnight
it’s midnight for you
oh yeah it’s midnight baby
midnight for you
feel the brownstones breath resentment
and the tenements double talk
and the storefronts whisper warnings
“be careful where you dare to walk”
as the neon assaults the shadows
the moon offers nowhere to hide
in emotional 3D, black and white and blue
you’re burnt by the night and it’s freezing outside
and it’s midnight
it’s midnight for you
oh yeah it’s midnight baby
midnight for you
