South of midnight
(© Ko-Do 2006)


Clouds of violet in the room
On the stereo was “dust my broom”
And I was drifting with the nonsense tide
Pondering the days of doom
On the horizon they did loom
And I was shifting then from slip to slide

Chorus

South of midnight
Beneath the starlight
Between the dolphins
And Sister Morphine
South of midnight
I guess I did right
Beneath the starlight
And Sister Morphine


With colours changin' like the tunes
I played the tarot, I threw the runes
And by none of all the rules I did abide
I rode a white horse to the moon
And there somewhere between the rocky dunes
I buried what was left of a fool's pride

Chorus

Then I changed the rhythm of the times
By simply memorizing nursery rhymes
And I was lifting my thumb to hitch a ride
Down the alley of crystal limes
All the elves there dancing in their prime
And pretty soon we frolicked side by side

Chorus
