The Barclay James Harvest - Midnight Drug lyrics

I get up early in the morning

It's up and out with the sun

Spending my day making natural highs

And in the evening when my work is done

I make a phone call from the hotel

Speak to my woman each day

I tell my lady that I'm missing her

And I hope she feels the same

At least she knows that I'm not

Sharing out our love

With the midnight drug

You spend your day in an in-joke

Pouring your life in a glass of ice

And no one's laughing but the monkey in you

Paranoia for the highest price

You make a phone call from the hotel

Spending your life in the night

The kind of women who don't come for free

But then I guess they know you'll pay the price

If they can keep you up

They know you've got what turns them on

The midnight drug

How many times must we tell you

Just how much we care

You must know how we love you

But we can't even meet half-way

Well I've got something to tell you

If you can only take it in

I think you're worthy of a better cause

If you can just stop looking for

What you never get enough of

The midnight drug

Your kind of sugar is a sweet club

I like my sugar in tea

You spend your life going faster

There's no surviving if you crash at speed

Now, I'm not saying that I'm wrong or right

But that the truth is plain to see

I get my kicks from my friends and their love

It's the kind of love that comes for free

They're the kind of friends

That you don't find when you go looking for

They only pick you up then let you fall

'Till you come back for more

Of the midnight drug
