"The Midnight Hour" lyrics
"Lay yourself down by the moon
I'll tell you all you need to know
See, pretty things don't get you far
You'll lose your soul and so much more
So come find yourself
In the stars..."
"On sleepless nights, the sweet moon rises
And bone drops bleed on the tiles below
The poor cat stares from his rooftop
Dreaming to dance with the moon
In the midnight glow
The sun, meanwhile scrapes windows
Thieving dreams from eyes still sour
(No, give them back!)
And the blue cat meows on his rooftop
Mourning the midnight hour..."
Perched upon the blue tiles of my humble roof
I reside with my wide eyes aligned by the moon
See me purr with my ears perked, observing her thick curves
Curve past the skyline of Earth's urban dunes
I sigh as she sweeps past the night sky allumed
Wishing I could fly with the bones souls, ghouls and the spirits
For their last dance before the sun arrives to scare the moon away
And he mutters to me...
"Come, my child
Awake and see the sun that shines so bold
It'll ease your soul"
I see the sun's long twinkling gold thin fingers
Climb my house walls to grab me by the scruff
I scramble up the pipe quick to dangle in the night
Tuck and gander at the spirits in the tango up above
They bellow down
"Dance, dance under moonlight's smile
Let her glow turn you blind to the world's pain and sadness
Hear the click clacks from the bones as the ghosts waltz around
To the sweet sound of samba that hushes out the madness"
Blind to the red seas of violence
Gaze at the moon as I lie by Poseidon
A bomb-drop's a bass in the background
I whistle in the tune of alarms from the paramedics' siren
Moonlight turn my blues to a lilac
Death cometh through if I turn to Orion
Come take my soul, quick please
For I see the sun's rays reach coming but she mutters to me
"Come, sweet cat
Come sleep in peace amongst the dormant stars
Rest at last..."
"Il me prend la couette et me dit
Tout doux, le soleil vient te lever, aller
Bouge, bouge, sors du lit, danse et vis, sors dehors
(Sort dehors, sors dehors)
Mais moi je ferme les rideaux
J'lui dis zou, zou..."
Perched on the grim tiles of my humble slum
I reside with my ringed eyes aligned by the sun
See me curse as his grin brings to birth all the sins
Hidden nice under curtains of night's gentle thumb
I cry as the rum-loving pirates are turned into madmen
Now their sermons they seem but a ramble
The mermaids have turned into land whores
The burnings of lust trickled down to the flame of a candle
"Oi, dire sun get fucked"
You peel off the eyelids I close tight shut
And burn upon a pyre the lies I love
How you gonna bribe a cat with a toast for the burden of Mondays
Man, I stay here tucked
And be a kid forever in a world made up
I won't grow
I scream, flee, and run from the morning
And jump to the stars in the hopes that I land on her
"Tout doux, le soleil vient te lever, aller
Bouge, bouge, sors du lit, danse et vis, sors dehors
(Sort dehors, sors dehors)
Et moi je ferme les rideaux, j'lui dis
Zou zou, sors de là, moi je veux dodo aller
Oust, oust, trouve des fleurs
J'suis crevé, ferme la porte"
(Sort dehors, sors dehors)
I'll tell you all you need to know
See, pretty things don't get you far
You'll lose your soul and so much more
So come find yourself
In the stars..."
