Middle Of The Night Songtext / Lyric

It came out of the darkness

In the middle of the night

A black and winding serpent

With flashing crimson eyes

The camera lights the innocent

Their faces frozen in time

With fearful expectation of

Where next the beast will strike






It rumbled through the neighbourhood

With fiercely twinkling eyes

And waited at the doorway

For his tail to arrive



Its head came through the window

Its body through the door

And it pulled itself together

As it ran across the floor



And before our eyes, the fireflies

Were dancing round his head

We watched in screaming silence

As he was stolen from his bed



Suddenly, it's over

And not a word was said

Now no-one knows if he's alive or if he's dead
