Midnight Soldier - Scarlet Pleasure

Blue skies in the beginning

All these destinies passin' me by (Me by)

Always a daily combat downtown

Deep behind the enemy lines (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

No name, no blessings, yeah

Nothing really comes my way (My way)

Sometimes I wonder how long

Now I’m taking it day by day

Ooh, working out here

Earning is a lot harder (Harder), harder (Harder)

Sleeping out here

A gunshot is a lot louder (Louder), louder

Hold on now, midnight soldier (Midnight soldier)

See me walking in the rain

Seeking shelter (Seeking shelter)

You can see me slowly slippin' away

All the lonely people, broken people

Roaming in the streets

Hold on now, midnight soldier (Midnight soldier)

See me slowly slippin' away

Inside this little prison

You’ll find a vibrant burning heart

Young minds without a vision

Felt invincible from the start

Some strong, some fragile

Isn’t it like me and you?

(And you)

This main street is our exile

And the sidewalk is our point of view

Ooh, working out here

Earning is a lot harder (Harder), harder (Harder)

Sleeping out here

A gunshot is a lot louder (Louder), louder

Hold on now, midnight soldier (Midnight soldier)

See me walking in the rain

Seeking shelter (Seeking shelter)

You can see me slowly slippin' away

All the lonely people, broken people

Roaming in the streets

Hold on now, midnight soldier (Midnight soldier)

See me slowly slippin' away

Oh-oh-oh, slippin' away

Oh-oh-oh-oh, slippin' away

Ooh, working out here

Earning is a lot harder (Harder), harder (Harder)

Sleeping out here

A gunshot is a lot louder (Louder), louder

Hold on now, midnight soldier (Midnight soldier)

See me walking in the rain

Seeking shelter (Seeking shelter)

You can see me slowly slippin' away

All the lonely people, broken people

Roaming in the streets

Hold on now, midnight soldier (Midnight soldier)

See me slowly slippin' away

Oh-oh-oh, slippin' away

Oh-oh-oh-oh, slippin' away
