Mercy, comes after midnight Fire, fire from the inside Rhythm, like a hurricane rain Mind your step as you make your way Through the church in to this world of sand Picture an angle with a cigarette burnin' With a long slow drag She welcomes you in where

After midnight Somewhere a-walkin' Searching for me I go out walkin' Out in the moonlight I stop to see a weeping willow Cryin' on his pillow Maybe he's cryin' for me And as the skies turn gloomy

I've got those midnight blues Can't get no sleep, don't know what to do It's the darkest hour of the darkest night Every evening after sundown As the light begins to fade I feel so low, but I just don't know Why these blues won't go away It's a million

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A man after midnight Won't somebody help me Chase the shadows away Take me through the darkness To the break of the day Is there a man out there? Someone to hear my prayer Half past twelve

(ang on) got to go Preview what they ought a know Keep your head down and fucking die (Wake up) rise and shine Gotta take another pint Dig heads and watch out for the night When the sun comes down and the moon comes up in the sky The battle of the day

'Round midnight, midnight It begins to tell I do pretty well, till after sundown Suppertime I'm feelin' sad But it really gets bad 'Round midnight Memories always start 'round midnight Haven't got the heart to stand those memories When my heart is still

'Round midnight, midnight It begins to tell I do pretty well, till after sundown Suppertime I'm feelin' sad But it really gets bad 'Round midnight Memories always start 'round midnight Haven't got the heart to stand those memories When my heart is still

I am the tiger I am behind you, I'll always find you People who fear me never go near me Yellow eyes, the spotlights of the city lights The city is a jungle, you'd better take care Never walk alone after midnight If you don't believe me, you'd better

You'll believe God is a woman You, you love it how I move you You love it how I touch you My one, when all is said and done And I, I feel it after midnight A feelin' that you can't fight My one, it lingers when we're done I'm tellin' you the way I like

Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone Loaded, loaded loaded, loaded I took the city 'bout one A.M, I'm all geared up to score again, I come alive in the neon light That's when I make my moves right
