I just lay down wonderin' what to lay down Lately I can do it every day undisturbed I think I know what but I can't find out how The morning didn't show me what it was worth Miles and miles of smiles, getting me nowhere Opportunities I just can see You can't lead me to the slaughter 'cause I'll already be there I've been up that street and I know what's waiting for me Just waiting! Midnight! Moon bright! Day into day! No escape, I must stay! Midnight, show me the way! Show me the way, give me something to play Something to play, to help me face the new day! Take me out of the darkness into the light I've no friends to stand by me here in the night It's an affair of a sad and weary heart Take me out of the darkness back to the start!
