I'm chalking down the road
For the queen of the night
She won't take a nickel or dime
To lose this fight
Wrong or Right
14th Street is a beat-up bliss
It's cold and the city's slicken
From your kiss
And it's hit or miss
I'm bending backwards for you honey
I'll be the one to hold your sad salt eyes
I'll find a way to make things funny
There'll be nothing left of me
But it's all right
Goodbye Midnight
I press her to my lips
Breathe her in so deep
I can't quit my baby just yet
'Cause I'm in need
And she's nicotine
There's a busy highway
I'm as steady as a freight train
I'm real slow
But I get what I need
At my own speed
I'm bending backwards for you honey
I'll be the one to hold your sad salt eyes
I'll find a way to make things funny
There'll be nothing left of me
But it's all right
Goodbye Midnight
I take that picture off the wall
And smash it
Rip the frame off
And start again
Sundyed paper left behind
Tell stories
Where empty faces
Used to shine
5 4 3 2 1
It seems the the whole thing is over
Before it begun
Like the setting sun
It shines the lines
Through the crooked blinds
Then I call retreat to the dark
Where it came from
I'm bending backwards for you honey
I'll be the one to hold your sad salt eyes
I'll find a way to make things funny
There'll be nothing left of me
But it's all right
Goodbye Midnight
