"Nighttime Person" lyrics
"Nighttime Person"
I'm a nighttime person
And when everyone's asleep
I like to walk from room
To quiet room and listen to the fridge weep
I like the hum of the streetlight
Coming in through the gap
I like the whine of the washer
I'm a nighttime sav
I like the crease in the paper
And the whisper of a page
I like the bolt out of cover
When the spiders feeling brave
Have you ever seen a moonbow?
Have you ever seen a ghost?
I'm a nighttime person
I like the nighttime most
I keep the hours of a printer
I keep the cross in the park
The jig is up when your eyelid's shut
Don't want to lie in the dark
Don't want to sing with the angles
Don't want to dance with the damned
Just want to run under the midnight sun
With the blood in my hands
Mm-mm
Mm-mm
Mm-mm
Mm-mm
Mm-mm
Mm-mm
Tonight was a night unlike
Any other
I was disturbed by the light
Of the nighttime's mother
The orange glow of the streetlights
Had been replaced by a pale
And lonesome white
I pulled open the living room
Curtains wide
No moon could I see in the nighttime sky
The sodium bulbs had been replaced
Now my sacred night is a different place!
They're energy efficient, guess that's good
I'm a nighttime person
And when everyone's in bed
I like to watch old re-runs
Until my eyes are dead
I like the crease in the paper
And the whisper of a page
I like the bolt out of cover
When the spiders feeling brave
Don't want to sing with the Angles
Don't want to dance with the damned
I wanna run under the midnight sun
With the blood in my hands
Have you ever seen a moonbow?
Have you ever seen a ghost?
I'm a nighttime person
I like the nighttime most
I'm a nighttime person
Mm-mm
Mm-mm
Mm-mm
Mm-mm
