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
