Evil Midnight
Lyrics: Richard O'Brien
Music: Richard Hartley
[Captain Invincible]
C
I had chums in the Wall Street crash
C
Who made a hash of their sums
D
And burned their mothers for cash
E
They turned into bums in a flash
A F#
I've known monkeys who were doing OK
B G#
Who met flunkies that would blow you away
C# Bb
They were junkies in less than a day
Ebm
There are pushers and hoodlums of great dedication
Bbm
That without hesitation supply medication
C
One minute you're a looker that looked
D
And the next you're a hooker that's hooked
[Mr. Midnight]
Am Am Am7 Am
Long before the great Big Bang
Am Am Am7 Am
There was evil in the Void
Am Am Am7 Am
Long before the first bird sang
Am
Evil was enjoyed
[Captain Invincible]
Am D
Long before the dawn of man
E
There was born an evil plan
D
Believe me when I say that
E F#m
There's no other side to Midnight
Bm
Hold on, sit tight
C#m
You never ever did right
D
Roll on Midnight
E
You're spoiling for the big fight
D E F#m
Mr. Evil Midnight
[Mr. Midnight]
Am Am Am7 Am
Long before the sands of time
Am Am Am7 Am
There was evil doing well
Am Am Am7 Am
Long before the birth of crime
Am
There was evil building Hell
[Captain Invincible]
Am D
Long before the Age of Reason
E
Evil waged unholy treason
D E
Believe me that no mother
F#m
Ever cried for Midnight
[Chorus]
F#m A
He's a creature of a thousand disguises
[Captain Invincible]
E
But the man behind the mask
F#m
Remains the same
[Chorus]
A
If that's really who you think it is,
E
You're in for some surprises.
A
Was that Stalin? Was that Hitler?
B C#
Was that really Mrs Norman Maine?
[Mr. Midnight]
Am Am Am7 Am
Long before the crack of doom
Am Am Am7 Am
There was evil in the air
Am Am Am7 Am
Long before we left the womb
Am
There was evil everywhere!
[Captain Invincible]
Am D
Long before the truth was found
E
Evil used to cruise around
D E
Believe me, it's a one-way
F#m
Ride for Midnight
[Captain Invincible and Chorus]
Bm
Hold on, sit tight
C#m
You never ever did right
D
Roll on Midnight
E
You're spoiling for the big fight
D E F#m
Mr. Evil Midnight
[Captain Invincible]
Bm
Now I'm gonna keep my grip tight
[Mr. Midnight]
C#m
I'm going to take a big bite
[Captain Invincible]
D
Gonna get a big fight
E
Mr. Evil Midnight
[Chorus]
D E F#m
Mr. Evil Midnight
