Burning The Midnight Oil Lyrics - Corey Cyr

It's been another long night 

So here's another song i just had to write 

Another tune for you to hum 

For today, tomorrow, and years to come. 

And before soon 

You'll hear my tune 

Hummin' through the coils of the wind, 

Like sitting on a fence 

It doesn't make sense 

I've been burning the midnight oil once again 

This song's about giving love 

To those around you and god above 

Forget the ones who smell the smell 

Of the fiery pits of the depths of hell 

I wrote these rhymes 

For the happier times 

Where we can chant and sing 

I wrote these words 

As the world turns 

I've been burning the midnight oil once again 

This song is about selfish greed 

The kind that consumes you and me 

Forget the ones who feel the need 

To get their wants by any means 

For those on their way 

To the golden gate 

Where St. Peter'll be a waitin' 

I don't even know 

It just goes to show 

I've been burning the midnight oil once again 

This song's about spreading peace 

All over the world, all over the streets 

So please spread all these words 

All I've said and all you've heard 

I wrote this song 

For the dead and gone 

And those who've gone insane 

Nah, I'm only playin' 

I don't even know what I'm sayin' 

I've been burning the midnight oil once again
