Bliss n Eso - Life's Midnight lyrics

Just listen to the sound of the charge
Listen, listen, listen, listen
Listen, listen, listen

Imagine a 5 year old
Without a doubt in his mind
Where Star Wars was still real
And no mountain's to high
That mountain was blue
My first birthdays residence
And since then, I've made earthquake evidence
See, positive thinking's an actual fact
Way before gangster rap had you packing a gat
I'd watch Breakdance and idol Ozone
Way before you had that bling bling
Way before I puffed the home grown
Rented it so many times
Back in Kurrajong heights

I wore out the VHS, imagine long nights
Day after day, I'd let it play
Reciting the lines
Try and fathom what I imagined
Inside of my mind
Grabbed a dollar off my dad
Shabadoo I had it for ya to save the centre
If I ever made it to California
And then the moment came
My mother said we're going
Jumped on a jumbo and we
Sailed across the ocean, like

Oh lord, I want to live to life's midnight
And keep running through dark
To that dim light and to the world
I say when I'm humming the blues
If you're coming at me
Then I'm coming at you
Oh lord, I want to live to life's midnight
And keep running through dark
To that dim light and to the world
I say when I'm humming the blues
If you're coming at me
Then I'm coming at you

My arrival was an eyeful
Of everything I thought
My Disneyland Dream was everywhere I walked
With that dollar in my pocket
I was on a mission
Deep inside, I knew I'd meet him
I had gone the distance
And on that last day, down Melrose Avenue
2 worlds collided when my eyes saw Shabadoo
There was a crash
So you can capture it accurate
But the accident was no accident
It was actually happening
My mum hit the brakes, I jumped out the car
Ran to an angel
Blood pumped through my heart
He showed me his Jag

He took me to his restaurant
Photos signed, B-Boy stance
This is the best of
My memories that I cherish forever
The last time I really
Remember my parents together
Lifting the movement
They never pictured I'd do it
But, I'm a living example and I got
The pictures to prove it so

Oh lord, I want to live to life's midnight
And keep running through dark
To that dim light and to the world
I say when I'm humming the blues
If you're coming at me
Then I'm coming at you
Oh lord, I want to live to life's midnight
And keep running through dark
To that dim light and to the world
I say when I'm humming the blues
If you're coming at me
Then I'm coming at you

From the back of the yellow bus
When PGC brought me new music
Singing and mimicking what I heard
Beat boxing in a blue Buick
From Virginia, continue to when Max and I met
With our heads between 2 boom boxes
Making tracks on cassettes
Yeah we were sifting through them singles
Searching for some instrumentals
Thirsting how to make 'em
When we learnt that we would be instrumental
Late 90's, back in NZ for a visit
Shit, my cuz gave me Che Fu to be specific
Brainfighta in my head, man it gave me light
Like Rachid giving Izm that X-Men
Tape that changed his life
And I remember Macka's mother's Joan
Calling me on the phone
Telling me to turn on basic equipment
And we learnt we weren't alone
And saw that SP and that MP
Up in Benz or a Beamer
Back when if you were white
You were speaking through the
Pen of a dreamer outkasts, from the farthest
Depths finding fate
Lay your own track, art express 98', check it

Oh lord, I want to live to life's midnight
And keep running through dark
To that dim light and to the world
I say when I'm humming the blues
If you're coming at me
Then I'm coming at you
Oh lord, I want to live to life's midnight
And keep running through dark
To that dim light and to the world
I say when I'm humming the blues
If you're coming at me
Then I'm coming at you
