DJ Shadow - Midnight in a Perfect World (Gift of Gab Mix) lyrics

Peep through the door It seems as though the gra** was much greener before The dead life has been washed upon the sea shore Money and greed deluded what is truly pure And yet our flesh keeps reaching out for more Now you're trapped A hole in the ozone about to make the world collapse Pollution fills the air and minds with bullet twisted facts Midnight is now upon us people righteous laws are coming back Don't turn your head away cause you can't get away Your mind is lost because your spirit has been led astray Don't ever say you gave it all if you ain't gave it all Just fade it in the hazy purple twilight No more time I tried to warn you all it's now approaching midnight Panic's in the air Some jumping out of buildings others on their knees in prayer Some cry out to the sky and yell they aren't quite prepared You looked god in the face and said forgive me all he did was stare Now you can run But where you gonna hide from all the power of the sun? The cosmic repercussions of what human kind has done No understanding of the fullness everything is simply one Soon to be none again so that new life can come again Illusions rule the mind your soul is never gonna end So don't pretend you gave it all if you ain't gave it all Just fade it in the hazy purple twilight No more time I tried to warn you all it's now approaching midnight So I bid farewell No more good times or bad times, no more heaven no more hell Now brace yourself for impact it's a half hour to twelve Complete in total darkness empty space is where you're left to dwell And all you had to do was live today for your tomorrow But now it's over and you're drowning deep inside your sorrow You could've led but instead you confirmed and chose to follow So once again I bid farewell There's only seconds left you'd like to second guess But through your foolish ways you've literally beckoned d**h So just don't say you gave it all if you ain't gave it all Just fade it in the hazy purple twilight No more time I tried to warn you all it's now approaching midnight
