lyrics
Ten past midnight:
I put some coffee on,
leave on the kitchen light,
and step out for a walk.
The lot is nearly empty.
I shut down at the edge of the block.
Lights droning with suicidal insects.
Go back inside and turn the lock.
It's sugar for sugar
and salt for salt;
if I go down in the floodlight tonight,
it's gonna be my own fault.
I put some coffee on,
leave on the kitchen light,
and step out for a walk.
The lot is nearly empty.
I shut down at the edge of the block.
Lights droning with suicidal insects.
Go back inside and turn the lock.
It's sugar for sugar
and salt for salt;
if I go down in the floodlight tonight,
it's gonna be my own fault.
