How I'd love to be a child, with friends spread all around me Playing games and running wild, with nothing more to do Than to Watch the sun make light, and watch the moon take over From the day into the night, what mighty peace I'd find How I'd love to

'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

There's a hero living at 2401 and all around A family circus in the sun Got his Mothers working While you're having fun Trying to change the system Many things that must be done Where did Moon go? Better call at GTO In the red room

And they said it changes when the sun goes down Around here They said it changes when the sun goes down And what a scummy man Just give him half a chance I bet he'll rob you if he can So who's that girl there? I wonder what went wrong So that she had to

I'm always giving my everything I'll be stickin' to the heavy liftin' A little heavy liftin' Even when I'm hurting I keep on working And as long as I'm still alive and kickin' I hit the ground running With the morning sun When a job needs doing

Leaving the ground When I'm with you To hold them down Slip into your skin and spend the night And get out of mine Walking the streets in dark Where lamps are the sunshine for the trees Oh for the trees cause everybody needs somebody

Wheat kings and pretty things Sundown in the Paris of the prairies Wheat kings have all their treasures buried And all you hear are the rusty breezes Pushing around the weather vane Jesus In his Zippo lighter, he sees the killer's face Maybe it's someone

They lead a lifetime that is comfortable They travel far to keep their stomachs full They make their living off of arts and crafts They make a deal when they come to town The Sunday swap meet is a battle ground Keeps his cigarettes close to his heart

I wanna see you but you're not mine I didn't even see you when I liked you Now I ain't got no time Girl I wanna see you undo it Twist around the lounge Sun drowns the house Stick another pill in my head and go to bed We're not doing it again so leave it

She's got me runnin' round and round Oh oh, oh oh Even sweeter than a honey on a bumblebee She tastes like the sunshine kissing me She said honey if you want you can come with me Your touch has made me a believer Your love is all I ever needed And she's
