Deep in the bayou en route to la The merchandise is changing sides People are hiding and waiting all day til midnight comes around Thats when its coming down And the dreams of a boy And his shortcut to easy street will die Back in the city, shes biting her nails Taking it hard - hes doing it for her She didnt ask and all he would say Its what he had to do To make her dreams come true But a whisper went round on the dark side of town And anything that could go wrong Is going wrong right now Midnight when it all comes down Only the brave and the fools are around Midnight when it all comes down Poor little fool, his bravery wont help him now Touchdown on the water and into the trees Hes come so far and this is the easy part Just gotta follow the flashlight he sees And thats where he gets paid His fortune will be made But a house in the country And an acre of green Will always be a dream They never even knew his name Midnight when it all comes down Only the brave and the fools are around Midnight when it all comes down Poor little fool, his bravery wont help him now [repeat]
