Midnight fever, come settle on down my bones
Midnight fever, c'mon baby, I need you to get me stoned
Stuck down here with all of these daylight people
Rain black midnight on my bones

I need that Midnight fever, all the air gone blue and black
I want that Midnight fever, stormclouds in an 8 mile stack
Stuck down here on Mama's sunny sidewalk, 
Wanna slip down deep beneath the cracks

 After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down
 But until midnight comes, mama gonna be tied up gagged and bound

Midnight fever, darkness on the face of the deep
Midnight fever, wind over water as she sleeps
Back to the night before the first daylight
Back before God began to speak
