Lyrics
Midnight Town
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I guess you think I'd never want to harm you
You better beware, that dream you dreamed
In time it could demand
The very ground on which I stand
Maybe you think that I am just a stranger
Or maybe recall I knew your name
You wrote it on the wall
In letters black and tall
Way down, way down in midnight town
Way down
Way down, way down in midnight town
Way down
When midnight dawns
Upon each painted martyr in the circus
Maybe you'll recall we met before
So please don't you accuse me
Of dealing with you loosely
Way down
Way down in midnight town
Way down in midnight town
Way down, way down in midnight town
Way down, way down in midnight town
Way down, way down in midnight town
