[Verse 1]
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
Well 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, you can t go home
Even in a crowd you feel all alone, find yourself hiding from the light
You need some money, got no shame
You re just a pawn running in his game
Mr. Midnight, it s always the same
[Verse 2]
Too many lies, the web gets so tight
Tangled at an angle that you just can t see right
Heavy loaded, 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]
Now you can t go out, you can t go home
Even in a crowd you feel all alone, find yourself hiding from the light
You need some money, got no shame
You re just a pawn running in his game
Mr. Midnight, it s always the same
[Verse 3]
You re running downhill, you just cannot stop
Whole life 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 your next of kin
[Chorus]
Cause I can t go out, I can t go home
Even in a crowd I feel all alone, find myself hiding from the light
I need some money, got no shame
I m just a pawn running in his game
Mr. Midnight, it s always the same
Mr. Midnight, it s always the same
Mr. Midnight, it s always the same
It s always the same
it s always the same
