Monkees - Midnight lyrics

by David

Deep in the bayou, into L.A.,

The merchandise is changing sides,

People are hiding and waiting all day,

Till midnight comes around,

That's when it's coming down.

And the dreams of a boy

And his shortcut to easystreet 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

Is what he planned 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 got to 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.

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,

Midnight.

Midnight, when it all comes down,

Midnight when it all comes down,

Only the brave and the fools are around,

Midnight when it all comes down,

Poor little fool.
