Lyrics
Midnight Oil
Rick Spurgin
There's a pain in my head
And it's driving me crazy
I just can't get to sleep tonight
I can't go to bed
My sight is hazy
I just can't seem to get it right
I'll scratch it all out
While the world is turning
Here I am
Chorus
I'm burning the midnight oil
The midnight oil
I'm burning it out
I'm burning the midnight oil
The midnight oil
I'm burning it out
The T.V. flickers
At the edge of my room
The news man spells out doom and gloom
But there's inspiration
And not a moment to soon
I'll write it all out into this tune
I'll scratch it all out
While the world is turning
Here I am
Chorus
I'm burning the midnight oil
The midnight oil
I'm burning it out
I'm burning the midnight oil
The midnight oil
I'm burning it out
Bridge
The stars are out
And the world keeps turning
People in their beds
And the streets are humming
No one cares that the end is coming soon
I lock myself into my little room
I'm burning the midnight oil
The midnight oil
I'm burning it out
I'm burning the midnight oil
The midnight oil
I'm burning it out
Solo
I'm burning the midnight oil
The midnight oil
I'm burning it out
I'm burning the midnight oil
The midnight oil
I'm burning it out
