Lyrics
VERSE
They say the spirits like to dance around
When cuckoos sing the longest chain of sound
Not noticing a thing except themselves
What's slumber to the ones who burn the oil at twelve?
PRECHORUS
You and I are caught under a spell of terrifying consequences, darling
What can I do to get you to turn me on?
CHORUS
One minute to midnight and you're deep into yourself
You passed the good goodnight to be enjoyed by someone else
One minute to midnight and you're still a world away
Blow out the good love light, hold your breath until the day
VERSE
Determination's stealing you from me
And in the dark it's getting hard to see
Maybe we can steal a spark from the storm
But we're still hanging on the edge of morn
PRECHORUS
It's frightening - your ability to shut out all distractions in the world around you
What can I do to get you to turn me on?
CHORUS
One minute to midnight and you're deep into yourself
You passed the good goodnight to be enjoyed by someone else
One minute to midnight and you're still a world away
Blow out the good love light, hold your breath until the day
BRIDGE
If I were a witch I'd cackle
If you were a wolf you'd howl
I'm throwing myself at you but you won't throw in the towel
What can I do to get you to turn me on?
CHORUS
One minute to midnight and you're deep into yourself
You passed the good goodnight to be enjoyed by someone else
One minute to midnight and you're still a world away
Blow out the good love light, hold your breath until the day
