Midnight lyrics

Deep in the bayou en route to LA

The merchandise is changing sides

People are hiding and waiting all day

'Til midnight comes around

That's when it's coming down

And the dreams of a boy

And his shortcut to easy street will die

Back in the city, she's biting her nails

Taking it hard - he's doing it for her

She didn't ask and all he would say

It's what he had to do

To make her dreams come true

But a whisper went 'round on the dark side of town

And anything that could go wrong

Is going wrong right now

Midnight when it all comes down

Only the brave and the fools are around

Midnight when it all comes down

Poor little fool, his bravery won't help him now

Touchdown on the water and into the trees

He's come so far and this is the easy part

Just gotta follow the flashlight he sees

And that's where he gets paid

His fortune will be made

But a house in the country

And an acre of green

Will always be a dream

They never even knew his name

Midnight when it all comes down

Only the brave and the fools are around

Midnight when it all comes down

Poor little fool, his bravery won't help him now
