full moon Good Morning, Midnight

by Lindsey Eck

She got the car
I got the credit-card bills
She hocked my guitar
and left me her pills
Now there’s no more discussion
No more debate
I’ve just been crushed
by a 10-ton weight
When everything’s done
and everything’s said
it’s one more reason
not to get out of bed
Good morning, midnight
Feeling like I’m made out of lead

Good morning, midnight
I wish it was 11 o’clock
Good morning, midnight
I’m always waking up in the dark
Good morning, midnight
Ain’t ready for the new day to start

Well, the CEO
ended up with the loot
Two chalets in the Rockies
Then we all got the boot
I’ve got an IRS letter
I’ve had to ignore
along with the landlord
when he bangs on the door
When your fortunes are fading
from twilight to black
it’s one more reason
just to stay in the sack
Good morning, midnight
I want my Saturday back

Good morning, midnight
I wish it was 11 o’clock
Good morning, midnight
I’m always waking up in the dark
Good morning, midnight
Ain’t ready for the new day to start

But there’s a dancehall beat
rising up from the bars
and girls driving by
in convertible cars
Guess I’ve had enough slumber
I’ve had enough rest
I’m ready for trouble
To rumble on with the best
Guess I’ll put on some coffee
and put on some shoes
and quit my complaining
and singing the blues
Good morning, midnight
I’ve had enough of a snooze

Good morning, midnight
I’m glad it’s not 11 o’clock
Good morning, midnight
I’m ready for the new day to start
Good morning, midnight
Hope everybody’s ready to rock
