My Midnight Hour

I'm gonna wake at the midnight hour
That's when my brain comes stumblin' round
I'm gonna wake at the midnight hour 
That's when the rain comes tumblin' down

I'm gonna wade thru, boy, and hold true
In the midnight hour 
Once again, boy, once again 
One last thing I want to make quite clear

I'm gonna shake till my eyes pop out
And maybe tinkle from behind 
I'm gonna shake in the midnight hour 
That's when I start to lose my mind

Only one cure that I know
That really helps me so
In the midnight hour 
Oh man, in the midnight hour 
It's all right, just need it one time Joe!

I'm gonna bake at the midnight hour 
That's when the pain comes tumblin' down 
I'm gonna bake, late past the midnight hour 
That's when my brain goes stumblin' round 

Just cool and I 
Oh baby, how we'll fly
Nobody around, maybe I'll just die
So what?
You know what? I'm gonna juice my arm, just cool and I 
Oh, Wow!
In the midnight hour 
Die maybe?
