Midnight In A Perfect World
Lyrics are to one of my favorite songs ever -- the gab mix of DJ Shadow's "Midnight in a
Perfect World" ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mdhwMVaUyQ ) |
| 1 |  | DJ Shadow
Endtroducing.....
Peep through the door
It seems as though the grass was much greener before
The dead life has been washed upon the sea shore
Money and greed deluded what is truly pure
And yet our flesh keeps screeching out for more |
| 2 |  | DJ Shadow
Excessive Ephemera
Now you're trapped
A hole in the ozone about to make the world collapse
Pollution fills the air and minds with bullet twisted facts
Midnight is now upon us people righteous laws are coming back |
| 3 | | DJ Shadow
Endtroducing.....
Don't turn your head away cause you can't get away
Your mind is lost because your spirit has been led astray
Don't ever say you gave it all if you ain't gave it all
Just fade it in the hazy purple twilight
No more time I tried to warn you all it's now approaching midnight |
| 4 |  | Portishead
Dummy
Panic's in the air
Some jumping out of buildings others on their knees in prayer
Some cry out to the sky and yell they aren't quite prepared
You looked god in the face and said forgive me all he did was stare |
| 5 |  | Tricky
Maxinquaye
Now you can run,
But where you gonna hide from all the power of the sun?
The cosmic repercussions of what human kind has done
No understanding of the fullness everything is simply one |
| 6 |  | Massive Attack
Protection
Soon to be none again so that new life can come again
Illusions rule the mind your soul is never gonna end
So don't pretend you gave it all if you ain't gave it all
Just fade it in the hazy purple twilight
No more time I tried to warn you all it's now approaching Midnight |
| 7 | | DJ Shadow
Endtroducing.....
So I bid farewell.
No more good times or bad times no more heaven no more hell.
Now brace yourself for impact it's a half hour to twelve
Complete in total darkness empty space is where you're left to dwell. |
| 8 |  | DJ Shadow
The Private Press
And all you had to do was live today for your tomorrow
But mow it's over and you're drowning deep inside your sorrow
You could've led but instead you confirmed and chose to follow
So once again I bid farewell |
| 9 | | DJ Shadow
Endtroducing.....
There's only seconds left you'd like to second guess
But through your foolish ways you've literally beckoned death
So just don't say you gave it all if you ain't gave it all
Just fade it in the hazy purple twilight
No more time I tried to warn you all it's now approaching Midnight |
