Midnight Rain
Music and Lyrics by Jim Malloy

Somebody help me
I need a place to hide
I've been hooked by a dangerous look
And the splash of a liquid smile

Can't feel my fingers
Can't find my toes
Her body moves to a rhythm and blues
That the good girls will never know

And she can steal the sunlight
Turn the savage night insane
But I would give up walkin'
To see her dancin' in the Midnight Rain

She loves the motion
She's got the ride
She can bend any man in two
With a sideways look of her eye

Can't stand too close
She can smell desire
She can take any time or place
And turn it into something wild

And she can steal the sunlight
Turn the savage night insane
But I would give up walkin'
To see her dancin' in the Midnight Rain

This girl's a vixen
She's a voodoo child
You can see by the pins in me
She's been playing on the other side

Don't believe in magic
Can't trust the law
But I believe she was meant to be
The best thing I ever saw

And she can steal the sunlight
Turn the savage night insane
But I would give up walkin'
To see her dancin' in the Midnight Rain
