Midnight Sun

An infamous wreck at the discotheque
A medallion noose round his neck
An inflatable chest in her sunday best
Trade a cigarette for a sunset
Never bring a bone to a banquet
Need a blanket to sleep with the fishes
And I’m melting under the midnight sun
And I’m just an ordinary alien

Spilt the mescaline milk on his silk shirt
Billy burroughs lurks with the perverts
As he orders hors d’oeuvres for his just desert
Lizards in the hotel lobby said
Put the whiskey in the waterbed

Bar flies are buzzing round their heads
Another rave in a cave like a mass grave
Bloodshot from shots of aftershave
Can remember the face of the head you gave
Snipers hiding in the photo booths
Vipers in the vip room
Hieroglyphs on the walls of the bathroom stalls
