lyrics

a call to the weird and weary
anybody such as myself
the god and sunlight fearing youth
with no regards for their health

roll out of your beds, can you hear me?
the speakers up loud enough?
'cause downtown there's a hearing
forget the ones that did not show up

chorus:

oh, don't stay inside your place tonight
(silhouette under city lights)
we are the ones too rare to die
(kids light up in the city bright)
ooh, sweetie, there's something better
living little to fantasize
all the reason to get together
and take a drag on the easy life

a push through the crowded masses
no space to find high or low
and the animals tilt their glasses
the singer starts singing low

but there's no room on the dance floor
no water running from the tap
i don't think i can stand for one more night alone

chorus

you're going through the motions
but no motion leaves you in your place
you take a pull on the potion
emotions start swimming for days

but there's no reason to stay home
you've been bottled up
there's no room for a halo
there's only room to run

about

Midnight Spin Brooklyn, New York

Midnight Spin formed below the streets of Brooklyn, writing and performing music as powerful and commanding as the roaring JMZ trains and chaotic neighborhood blocks that bustle just above their basement rehearsal space.

Their new album Don't Let Me Sleep scrapes together everything you once loved about rock music and makes it hum again like a dirty, little noise-box from the future.
