Midnight Drug Lyrics - Barclay James Harvest

I get up early in the morning 

It's up and out with the sun 

Spending my day making natural highs 

And in the evening when my work is done 

I make a phone call from the hotel 

Speak to my woman each day 

I tell my lady that I'm missing her 

And I hope she feels the same 

At least she knows that I'm not 

Sharing out our love 

With the midnight drug 

You spend your day in an in-joke 

Pouring your life in a glass of ice 

And no one's laughing but the monkey in you 

Paranoia for the highest price 

You make a phone call from the hotel 

Spending your life in the night 

The kind of women who don't come for free 

But then I guess they know you'll pay the price 

If they can keep you up 

They know you've got what turns them on 

The midnight drug 

How many times must we tell you 

Just how much we care 

You must know how we love you 

But we can't even meet half-way 

Well I've got something to tell you 

If you can only take it in 

I think you're worthy of a better cause 

If you can just stop looking for 

What you never get enough of 

The midnight drug 

Your kind of sugar is a sweet club 

I like my sugar in tea 

You spend your life going faster 

There's no surviving if you crash at speed 

Now, I'm not saying that I'm wrong or right 

But that the truth is plain to see 

I get my kicks from my friends and their love 

It's the kind of love that comes for free 

They're the kind of friends 

That you don't find when you go looking for 

They only pick you up then let you fall 

'Till you come back for more 

Of the midnight drug
