A Match to Midnight Oil
We're on our own
Haven't seen another face in-God-who knows?
You'd take it slow
But now I'm in control
Take down, take hold
You can try to turn the tide 'til I let go
Fall back, then flow
And pull me under
If you want to rock tonight, let's roll
We can watch a tragedy unfold
Like we cut the brakes and lost control
Separate my soul
If you want to fight tonight, let's go
We can set a match to midnight oil
If you want to say that it's all over
You can learn to live without me
Up high, down low
I haven't given up hope, but I'm so close
It haunts my home
But that's just how it goes
We're in the throes
Of catastrophic discontent, and-God-it shows
All plans postponed
And torn asunder
If you want to rock tonight, let's roll
We can watch a tragedy unfold
Like we cut the brakes and lost control
Separate my soul
If you want to fight tonight, let's go
We can set a match to midnight oil
If you want to say that it's all over
You can learn to live without me
If you want to rock tonight, let's roll
We could watch a tragedy unfold
Like we cut the brakes and hit the road
In the fast lane driving like we're insane
But now it's over
We're losing our composure
Haven't seen another face in-God-who knows?
You'd take it slow
But now I'm in control
Take down, take hold
You can try to turn the tide 'til I let go
Fall back, then flow
And pull me under
If you want to rock tonight, let's roll
We can watch a tragedy unfold
Like we cut the brakes and lost control
Separate my soul
If you want to fight tonight, let's go
We can set a match to midnight oil
If you want to say that it's all over
You can learn to live without me
Up high, down low
I haven't given up hope, but I'm so close
It haunts my home
But that's just how it goes
We're in the throes
Of catastrophic discontent, and-God-it shows
All plans postponed
And torn asunder
If you want to rock tonight, let's roll
We can watch a tragedy unfold
Like we cut the brakes and lost control
Separate my soul
If you want to fight tonight, let's go
We can set a match to midnight oil
If you want to say that it's all over
You can learn to live without me
If you want to rock tonight, let's roll
We could watch a tragedy unfold
Like we cut the brakes and hit the road
In the fast lane driving like we're insane
But now it's over
We're losing our composure
