Midnight Maps
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.
We are marching on the midnight maps
We are looking for a perfect world
Anywhere in the universe
Anywhere they'll take my cash
Anywhere the wind is outside (outside)
I'm leaving cars behind me
We'll be walking to the perfect world
It could be anywhere, any way from here
Anywhere the wind is outside
I know what's good for you
I have my reasons
I draw these plans for you
Pick 'em up and read them
I know what's good for you
I have my reasons
I draw these plans for you
Pick 'em up and read them
I'm leaving clothes there on the midnight beach
They wouldn't be in perfect style
Anywhere on a rocky coast
Anywhere we land intact
Anywhere the sea's at high tide (high tide)
I'm putting markers on the midnight map
I should be searching from door to door now
Anywhere in the neighbourhood
Anywhere we already looked
Maybe a little bit uptown
Why let your heart bleed?
Why suffer soul strain?
Why lose your sleep over things such as these?
Why let your heart bleed?
Why suffer soul strain?
Why lose your sleep over things such as these?
I know what's good for you
I have my reasons
I draw these plans for you
Pick 'em up and read them
I know what's good for you
I have my reasons
I draw these plans for you
Pick 'em up and read them
We are marching on the midnight map
We are looking for a perfect world
It could be anywhere, any way from here
Anywhere the wind is outside
I'm putting markers on the midnight map
We should be searching from door to door now
Anywhere in the neighbourhood
Anywhere we already looked
Maybe a little bit uptown
Why let your heart bleed?
Why suffer soul strain?
Why lose your sleep over things such as these?
Why let your heart bleed?
Why suffer soul strain?
Why lose your sleep over things such as these?
I know what's good for you
I have my reasons
I draw these plans for you
Pick 'em up and read them
I know what's good for you
I have my reasons
I draw these plans for you
Pick 'em up and read them
I know what's good for you...
