Living After Midnight Lyrics

Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn
Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone

I took the city 'bout one A.M, loaded, loaded
I'm all geared up to score again, loaded, loaded
I come alive in the neon light
That's when I make my moves right

Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn
Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone

Got gleaming chrome, reflecting steel, loaded, loaded
Ready to take on every deal, loaded, loaded
My pulse is racing, I'm hot to take
This motor's revved up, fit to break

Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn
Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone

I'm aiming for ya
I'm gonna floor ya
My body's coming
All night long

The air's electric, sparkin' power, loaded, loaded
I'm getting hotter by the hour, loaded, loaded
I set my sights and then home in
The joint starts flying when I begin

Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn
Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone

Yes indeed. Priest and Rob all the way!!

I really like the story of this song (Watch the Metal works video) how Rob was staying in a room above Gelnn, who, quite late one night, was banging the main riff out continuously and keeping Rob awake. Rob finally came downstairs and said "I've got the perfect lyric for that!"

The song refers to one night stands and gay sex. The members of this band were gay, and refer to going out in the night with their gay lover. The part of loving till the dawn refers to the sex he had. But it is an awesome tune!

Song Meaning

@BryceA It's about late night partying, and only Rob is gay. Why are you using a past tense to refer to people who are still alive?

@BryceA Only Rob is gay, and he was still in the closet when he wrote this.

This guy is a real night owl!
