Lyrics

Midnight in a Perfect World

Insight, foresight, more sight
The clock on the wall reads a quarter past midnight

Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh

By dark of moon
You came into the garden of my love
Planting seeds of love

Now, now, now, now
Ah-ooh

12 o'clock
Ah-ooh

Rock, rock, rock, rock the midnight rush
Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh

Now, now, now, now

By dark of moon (The midnight rush)
You came into the garden of my heart
Planting seeds of love
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Now approaching midnight
