Soon After Midnight

I'm searchin' for phrases to sing your praises

I need to tell someone

It's soon after midnight

And my day has just begun

A girl named Honey took my money

She was passin' by

It's soon after midnight

And the moon is in my eye

My heart is cheerful, it's never fearful

I've been down on the killin' floors

I'm in no great hurry, I'm not afraid of your fury

I've faced stronger walls than yours

Charlotte's a harlot, dresses in scarlet

Mary dresses in green

It's soon after midnight

And I've got a date with the fairy queen

They chirp and they chatter, what does it matter?

They lie and they dine in their blood

Two Timin' Slim, who's ever heard of him?

I'll drag his corpse through the mud

It's now or never, more than ever

When I met you, I didn't think you would do

It's soon after midnight

And I don't want nobody but you
