Midnight Works For MeSome folks rise up early, get to work on timeGoin' through the motions, chasin' that almighty dime Me I ride the border between sweat and sympathy I am time's employer, midnight works for me Me I rise at sunset and start plannin' out my day I do my best thinkin' between the moon and the Milky Way Starlight sends the story, and I provide the melody Seven ways from Sunday midnight works for me I'm a poet tryin' to be a sage Hold this pen and watch it slide across the page Time may be money, all these words are free Sunset to sunrise, midnight works for me It's already mornin', I should try to get some sleep Slow down my old weary heart, pray my soul to keep Another night is callin' and I know where I will be Back on that assembly line, midnight works for me I'm a poet tryin' to be a sage I hold this pen and watch it slide across the page Time may be money, all these words are free Sunset to sunrise, midnight works for me Sunset to sunrise, midnight works for me |
