England - Midnight Madness lyrics

Somebody told me Mr. Pickett had Possession of a pocket watch of gold And to who so was the owner of gave Immortality What a way to be, knowing that this Rumour was provoking my mind You can't stay here, so hide your fear. And disappear That's when you're: Caught in the myth Of midnight madness, It's the only way you can behold the Fate of old man time Something inside me said that many Wouldn't stop at the clock stop That night I don't know who so long ago had left The door ajar, But finding my way inward from the Outside seemed a good idea at the time Extraordinaire! There's no one there You needn't care because you're Caught in the myth of midnight Madness, And the fairy-light moonshine opens The gate to old man time (Gold-man time, One more time) Outside the candle may flicker Inside the flame may grow on The door is open, I pull down the blind My timepiece is ticking, but hasn't Yet chimed Dark gloom, the smell of the roiom A mystic perception that magic Will bloom I lift my head ... but only to find that Each clock in turn Emits a dim light in the shape (Time on time armed with a vision What precision walking in the shape) Of a face ... Who are you, can you see me We are the creatures of a timeless world in Which we use the time so as to Hide away in Each of us did come here just like You and as you watch us you will Join us too I may be a gambler at poker or whist But what sort of rumour could lead Me to this To extend my age, may warrant a deal But a life on the mantelpiece Doesn't appeal Guarding my ears from the hypnotic Tick I won't be the joker completing This trick When the words rhyme that's a sure Sign to call on time
