Midnite News

There’re some people they’re just passing through
And they don’t know what they want to be
There’s a moment and it always comes
And it looks around for me

There’s a person with a charming smile
But you don’t hear a word he said
And there’s another and she walks around
In a trance just like she’s dead

Don’t you listen to the midnite news?
Don’t you read the papers every day?
Don’t you talk to people, don’t know how?
Don’t you see the TV fade away?

You’ve got pins and needles in your arm
And there’s a chance that they might find out
There are voices talking without sound
And there’s a lady but she don’t know how

There’s a reason but I couldn’t say
And there’s a shadow moving ‘cross the floor
I saw a rabbit she was falling, falling, falling
And there’s some movement in the crowd below

You don’t believe a word I say
You don’t believe a word I say
You don’t believe a thing I do
You don’t believe a thing I do

You don’t believe a word I say
You don’t believe a word I say
I know I want a thing or two
I only need a bit of you

Don’t you listen to the midnite news?
Don’t you listen to the midnite news?
Don’t you listen to the midnite news?
Don’t you listen to the midnite news?

Don’t you listen to the midnite news?
Don’t you listen to the midnite news?
Don’t you listen to the midnite news?
Don’t you listen to the midnite news?

Don’t you listen to the midnite news?
Don’t you listen to the midnite news?
Don’t you listen to the midnite news?
