The Midnight Hour

Lyrics for The Midnight Hour

Lay yourself down by the moon I'll tell you all you need to know See pretty things don't get you far You'll lose your soul and so much more So come find yourself in the stars On sleepless nights the sweet moon rises And bone drops bleed on the tiles below The poor cat stares from his rooftop Dreaming to dance with the moon in the midnight glow The sun meanwhile scrapes windows Thieving dreams from eyes still sour (No give them back) And the blue cat meows on his rooftop Mourning the midnight hour Perched upon the blue tiles of my humble roof I reside with my wide eyes aligned by the moon See me purr with my ears perked observing her thick curves Curve past the skyline of Earths urban dunes I sigh as she sweeps past the night sky allumed Wishing I could fly with the bones souls ghouls and the spirits For their last dance before the sun arrives to scare the moon away And he mutters to me Come my child Awake and see the sun that shines so bold It'll ease your soul I see the suns long twinkling gold thin fingers Climb my house walls to grab me by the scruff I scramble up the pipe quick to dangle in the night Tuck and gander at the spirits in the tango up above They bellow down Dance dance under moonlights smile Let her glow turn you blind to the worlds pain and sadness Hear the click clacks from the bones as the ghosts waltz around To the sweet sound of samba that hushes out the madness Blind to the red seas of violence Gaze at the moon as I lie by Poseidon A bomb drop's a bass in the background I whistle in the tune of alarms from the paramedics siren Moonlight turn my blues to a lilac Death cometh through if I turn to Orion Come take my soul quick please For I see the suns rays reach coming but she mutters to me Come sweet cat Come sleep in peace amongst the dormant stars Rest at last Il me prend la couette et me dit Tout doux le soleil vient te lever aller Bouge bouge sors du lit danse et vis Sors dehors Sort dehors sors dehors Mais moi je ferme les rideaux J'lui dis zou zou Perched on the grim tiles of my humble slum I reside with my ringed eyes aligned by the sun See me curse as his grin brings to birth all the sins Hidden nice under curtains of nights gentle thumb I cry as the rum loving pirates are turned into madmen Now their sermons they seem but a ramble The mermaids have turned into land whores The burnings of lust trickled down to the flame of a candle Dire sun get fucked You peel off the eyelids I close tight shut And burn upon a pyre the lies I love How you gonna bribe a cat with a toast for the burden of Mondays Man I stay here tucked And be a kid forever in a world made up I won't grow I scream flee and run from the morning And jump to the stars in the hopes that I land on her Tout doux le soleil vient te lever aller Bouge bouge sors du lit danse et vis sors dehors Et moi je ferme les rideaux j'lui dis Zou zou sors de là moi je veux dodo aller Oust oust trouve des fleurs J'suis crevé ferme la porte
