Midnight Shadow Lyrics - Singles - The Ron Rude Renaissance

"Hello. This is Destiny calling. 

I just wanna remind you that you've got a date with me. 

Oh, and one more thing. 

Answer your fucking phone!" 

I've got something to give to you 

I've got some love for you, that I'm deploying 

But hey, world, it's a different kind of love 

To the kind of love that you're used to enjoying 

I'm down here on the street with the junkies and the sad buskers 

And the fire jugglers and the sex workers and the poor 

And there's a spirit here and I think I've found something 

Even among the homeless who sleep on the foreshore 

Let's crank it up for real, Midnight Shadow 

Lead us all up the stairs, Longbow Drawn 

And we shall not neglect our souls, Thunder Echo 

Take us to the mountaintop, Moonlit Dawn" 

And there was a woman who filled my house with love and food 

She was the saint of sunny Saint K. 

Handing out two dollar coins to all the sad people 

She gave all that she had to give, and then she went away 

She went to her war torn homeland 

To support her people, in their hour of need 

So I'd like you to take a break from thinking about yourself 

And look at my angel of mercy and then let yourself bleed 

And if you are sick, or mentally ill, or disabled 

Or just if your dreams have been shattered again and again 

Then I love you and it's from deep in my heart 

And I want to speak to you about the beginning and the end 

There's a rule: nothing comes before something 

And nothing, is where it all begins 

What we have to do is grant ourselves agency 

Yesterday we were beggars but tomorrow we are gonna be kings 

I'm human, I'm vulnerable 

I've made the same mistakes 

Over, and over again 

But I'm honest, I'm worthwhile 

I'm not a worthless loser 

And I believe that I can do anything 

I'm not listening to the voice 

That tells me that I'm useless 

And that I've got to live a broken life of shame 

I'm listening to my higher self 

That's telling me my destiny 

And giving me a much higher aim 

Nothing comes before something (Let's crank it up for real) 

Nothing comes before something (Lead us all up the stairs) 

Nothing comes before something (And we shall not neglect our souls) 

Nothing comes before something (Take us to the mountaintop) 

Destiny calling 

From the mountaintop 

Answer the fucking phone 

"You've got me!.. Are you MY destiny? 

Oh, really? I really want to embrace you! 

Say, do you like nachos? I know this great little place. 

They ice the beer glasses. 

And if it's quiet after 11 they let you smoke"
