Ellis Paul - Washington DC 5/91 lyrics

(C. Currie/K. Fowley/Steven T.)

Out here in the smokey places

Looking into those empty faces

Short wave says we made the dial

I'm wired for ten million miles

Making midnight music

Singing rock and roll songs

Living midnight music

Just to get along

Back here in this cold hotel

I'm bored but you can tell

Your smile said we did OK

I'm glad we had a chance to play

Making midnight music

Singing rock and roll songs

Living midnight music

Just to get along

From the plane I see the back roads

Your twilight cities your super towns

From the stage I see the drifters

Lost souls who ain't been found

Out there in the five buck seats

We live inside your own heartbeats

We share the falls you take

Everything feels like it's just bout to break

Making midnight music

Singing rock and roll songs

Living midnight music

Just to get along
