Life's Midnight Lyrics - Circus In The Sky - Bliss N Eso

[Eso:] 

Imagine a 5 year old, without a doubt in his mind 

Where Star Wars was still real; and no mountain's to high 

That mountain was blue, my first birthdays residence 

And since then, I've made earthquake evidence 

See, positive thinking's an actual fact 

Way before gangster rap had you packing a gat 

I'd watch Breakdance and idol Ozone 

Way before you had that bling bling 

Way before I puffed the home grown 

Rented it so many times, back in Kurrajong heights 

I wore out the VHS, imagine long nights 

Day after day, I'd let it play, reciting the lines 

Try and fathom what I imagined, inside of my mind 

Grabbed a dollar off my dad Shabadoo I had it for ya 

To save the centre, If I ever made it to California 

And then the moment came, my mother said we're going 

Jumped on a jumbo and we sailed across the ocean, like 

Oh lord, I want to live to life's midnight 

And keep running through dark to that dim light 

And to the world, I say when I'm humming the blues 

If you're coming at me, Then I'm coming at you. [x2] 

[Eso:] 

My arrival was an eyeful, of everything I thought 

My Disneyland dream was everywhere I walked 

With that dollar in my pocket, I was on a mission 

Deep inside, I knew I'd meet him, I had gone the distance 

And on that last day, down Melrose Avenue 

2 worlds collided when my eyes saw Shabadoo 

There was a crash, so you can capture it accurate 

But the accident was no accident, it was actually happening 

My mum hit the brakes, I jumped out the car 

Ran to an angel, blood pumped through my heart 

He showed me his Jag, he took me to his restaurant 

Photos signed, B-Boy stance, this is the best of 

My memories that I cherish forever 

The last time I really remember my parents together 

Lifting the movement, they never pictured I'd do it 

But I'm a living example and I got the pictures to prove it, so 

Oh lord, I want to live to life's midnight 

And keep running through dark to that dim light 

And to the world, I say when I'm humming the blues 

If you're coming at me, Then I'm coming at you. [x2] 

[Bliss:] 

From the back of the yellow bus when PGC brought me new music 

Singing and Mimicking what I heard, beat boxing in a blue buik 

From Virginia, continue to when Max and I met 

With our heads between 2 boom boxes, making tracks on cassettes. 

Yeah we were sifting through them singles, searching for some instrumentals 

Thirsting how to make 'em, when we learnt that we would be instrumental 

Late 90's. back in NZ for a visit 

Shit, my cause gave me Che Fu 2b S.Pacific 

Brainfighta in my head, man it gave me light 

Like Rachid giving Izm that X-Men tape that changed his life 

And I remember Macka's mother's Joan, calling me on the phone 

Telling me to turn on basic equipment and we learnt we weren't alone 

And saw that SP and that MP up in Benz or a Beamer 

Back when if you were white, you were speaking through the pen of a dreamer 

Outkasts, from the farthest depths finding fate 

Lay your own track, art express 98', check it 

Oh lord, I want to live to life's midnight 

And keep running through dark to that dim light 

And to the world, I say when I'm humming the blues 

If you're coming at me, Then I'm coming at you. [x2]
