Midnite In America Lyrics - Steve Kilbey

Broken old record, what did you find? 

The honey is spiked, I thought you liked it 

Make up your mind 

Fools took the boy, boy did they throw him 

Into the lake 

Wades through the weeds, comes to the party 

What a mistake 

And now, now he's waiting for a miracle 

But how, when it's midnite in america 

Stupid magician, with your cloak and your wand, 

Pulls out a rabbit, he's got a bad habit 

He's quite overfond. 

The woman took the man, and man did she drop him 

Onto the floor 

Crawls to the exit, he sings like a swallow 

Knocks at her door 

And now, now he's waiting for a miracle 

How, when it's midnite in america 

Mixed up and empty, probably dead 

The company paid it, the aliens laid it 

Down on his head 

The boyfriend hit a kid, I kid you not 

He hurt him real bad 

He lay in the garden, he bled in the flowers 

Its awfully sad 

But now, now he's waiting for a miracle, 

How, when it's midnite in america, 

How, now he's waiting for a miracle now 

How, when it's midnite in america.
