House is burning, you can't go home Got no reason to be all alone Sneaking down the alley like a snake in the grass To see where you're going I don't need a looking glass
I won't judge you at a distance, we all got our ways to get along Once the two of you start to dancing, you're gonna dance now till the dance floor's gone
[Chorus:] Now you can't go out, can't go home Even in a crowd you feel all alone, find yourself hiding from the light You need that money, you got no shame, just a pawn running in his game With Mr. Midnight, it's always the same
Too many lies, the web gets so tight Tangle at an angle that you just can't see right Heavy loaded and flying low, you say you got it all under control
I know why you go back to him though he's such a mean old man He whispers secrets in your ear, now his wish is your command
[Chorus]
You're running downhill and you just cannot stop Your whole life is small enough to fit in a matchbox Holding patterns on well-worn ground Cowards, corners making the rounds Who's looking back at you in the mirror Skin and bones, you look so thin This is his song you sing along to, it's called notify my next of kin
'Cause I can't go out, can't go home Even in a crowd I feel all alone, find myself hiding from the light Need some money, got no shame, just a pawn running in his game With Mr. Midnight, it's always the same Mr. Midnight it's always the same
