The Midnight Promise

歌詞

He weaves out words Over 7th & A He speaks Egyptian And calls your name His blue face Is always the same He reached behind you and tickles the game Anyway, there's no one left to blame And when he hits you And you are down on the walk You have your promise, your midnight promise And when you scream It comes out a squawk You have your promise, your midnight promise Oh, whisper you love me Slips out of the dawn And into an alley where the curtains are drawn Into a room where somebody gets on you The moaning through garages and loading docks The walls of Soul City And the aging clock The camera eye is fixed and it locks on you He closes your eyes And he hands you a dream You have your promise, your midnight promise You got the works But, you can't afford the treat You have your promise, your midnight promise And if you make 20 dollars You really have a time You have your promise, your midnight promise And all your cabs And diamonds stand in line You have your promise, your midnight promise Your breathe on the window Rings the note You're always coughing from the smoke And hatching children in your throat Ghost hands slip Underneath the sheets Seems your rhythm has gone to sea Don't push that Red Hot, it just might scream You got a 127 ways to die You have your promise, your midnight promise It's such a deal So go for the ride And get your promise, your midnight promise
