The Sun Came Out at Midnight

[Intro] (Simple acoustic guitar strumming) (High falsetto backing: Ooooooo... so bright...) [Verse 1] The sun came out at midnight, dear To wash away your doubt and fear The weatherman said rain today But all the clouds have burned away The city lines are flattened down Just for us, all over town [Chorus] I never liked the neighbors much I only craved your gentle touch Now the fence is gone, and so are they Blown into the Milky Way So hold me close inside this room While we enjoy the sonic boom It’s awfully cozy, don't you see? In our little concrete fantasy [Spoken Bridge] (Deep, speaking voice, very calm and romantic) You know, honey... I promised I’d take you places. I promised we'd see the world. Well, if you look out that little thick glass window... I think the world is coming to visit us instead. And look at that glow on your cheeks. Or is that radiation? Either way, darling... You look absolutely radiant tonight. And the best part is... I don't have to go to work on Monday. [Verse 2] (Singing returns) The Geiger counter hums a tune A melody beneath the moon We’ll stay inside for ninety years Dry away those happy tears Let the canned food be our feast While the wind blows from the East [Chorus] I never liked the neighbors much I only craved your gentle touch Now the fence is gone, and so are they Blown into the Milky Way So hold me close inside this room While we enjoy the sonic boom It’s awfully cozy, don't you see? In our little concrete fantasy [Outro] (Falsetto backing: Ooooo... tick tick tick...) Just you and me... Forever... (Sound of a siren fading out into static)
