The Midnight Promise
He weaves out wordsOver 7th & AHe speaks EgyptianAnd calls your nameHis blue faceIs always the sameHe reached behind you and tickles the gameAnyway, there's no one left to blameAnd when he hits youAnd you are down on the walkYou have your promise, your midnight promiseAnd when you screamIt comes out a squawkYou have your promise, your midnight promiseOh, whisper you love meSlips out of the dawnAnd into an alley where the curtains are drawnInto a room where somebody gets on youThe moaning through garages and loading docksThe walls of Soul CityAnd the aging clockSongtexteThe camera eye is fixed and it locks on youHe closes your eyesAnd he hands you a dreamYou have your promise, your midnight promiseYou got the worksBut, you can't afford the treatYou have your promise, your midnight promiseAnd if you make 20 dollarsYou really have a timeYou have your promise, your midnight promiseAnd all your cabsAnd diamonds stand in lineYou have your promise, your midnight promiseYour breathe on the windowRings the noteYou're always coughing from the smokeAnd hatching children in your throatGhost hands slipUnderneath the sheetsSeems your rhythm has gone to seaDon't push that Red Hot, it just might screamYou got a 127 ways to dieYou have your promise, your midnight promiseIt's such a dealSo go for the rideAnd get your promise, your midnight promise
