Flash and the Pan - Midnight Man (1985) Twelve o'clock You climb your stairs You turn the key And no-one's there, no-one's there It's cold and bare And there's the phone It's on your wall And there's a note No-one's called, no-one's called And ain't that small Chorus: But I can help you I can understand I can help you To your promised land I'm your helping hand Your midnight man You try to sleep But sleep won't come You lie awake And toss and turn Toss and turn And burn, burn, burn You read a book And try some food You have a smoke It's ain't no good It's ain't no good You're in that mood (chorus) No need to be there All on your own You got the number You got the phone Any time any day And I'll be on my way I'm at your window I'm at your door I'm on the ceiling I'm on the floor I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming Here I come 'Cos I can help you I can understand I can help you To your promised land I'm your helping hand Your midnight man I can help you I can understand I can help you To the promised land I'm your helping hand Your midnight man Your midnight man The latest song I can help you I can understand I can help you To the promised land I'm your helping hand Your midnight man Your midnight man A little bit louder I can help you I can understand I can help you To the promised land I'm your helping hand Your midnight man
