Midnight in the City Lyrics

I've never seen you so sad
What happened anyway?
Did he make you pay today?

I've never wanted you so bad
Just something in you
Pushing me away

The more you push
The more I crave you
The more you push

Just take your coat and leave your clothes
Midnight in the city
Break the skin, relieve the sin
Midnight in the city

Been on this block before
I know this dirty street
What it meant to me

To get inside your door
Tiny little room
Was everything I need

Oh the more you push

Just take your coat and leave your clothes
Midnight in the city
Break the skin, relieve the sin
Midnight in the city
She'll swallow you whole
There's no where else to go
Oh no where else to go

Just take your coat but leave your clothes
Midnight in the city
Break the skin, relieve the skin
Midnight in the city
Just take your coat but leave your clothes
Midnight in the city
Break the skin, re-live your sins
Midnight in the city

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
