Things have changed, the chemicals have shifted I'm a different person every time we meet I'm caught in a trap like a rabbit on a track It's an angry attack, left a scar on my back And here's my real sad story He was 5'6 with a sentimental crucifix Hanging down his neck She was sweet sixteen in her first limousine And his hand slipped around her back They arrived on the scene Like the king and queen Of the prom that couldn't last Did we ever really have a chance? We are midnight, on a fast ride Held a ticket in our hands for anywhere Out of our minds, thought we could fly But as the morning comes, we start to disappear
Why are we so quick to let our innocence go? So nobody told me 'til it's only the lonely A classic case, yeah a sorry story And my story etches on She's a smart-talking girl with a chip on her shoulder And she's got a little game to play Meets a shell of a man in a rock and roll band And he can't let her slip away And the only time they're satisfied Is when they're on the chase But will we ever really get away? We are midnight, we are last night Got a ticket out of town with no return We're on no time, we can't rewind But as the morning comes, we start to disappear And we won't keep up with this pace another year ♪ Will we ever really get a break? We are midnight, in a fistfight We got a taste of what it's like to be alive All alone now, don't wanna come down But as the morning comes, we start to disappear Disappear So let it all ride, 'cause we are midnight
