The Monkees — Midnight

Deep in the bayou en route to LA The merchandise is changing sides People are hiding and waiting all day 'Til midnight comes around That's when it's coming down And the dreams of a boy And his shortcut to easy street will die Back in the city, she's biting her nails Taking it hard - he's doing it for her She didn't ask and all he would say It's what he had to do To make her dreams come true But a whisper went 'round on the dark side of town And anything that could go wrong Is going wrong right now Midnight when it all comes down Only the brave and the fools are around Midnight when it all comes down Poor little fool, his bravery won't help him now Touchdown on the water and into the trees He's come so far and this is the easy part Just gotta follow the flashlight he sees And that's where he gets paid His fortune will be made But a house in the country And an acre of green Will always be a dream They never even knew his name Midnight when it all comes down Only the brave and the fools are around Midnight when it all comes down Poor little fool, his bravery won't help him now (repeat)
