Lyrics East of Midnight - Dennis De Young

East of Midnight

A south-side brick bungalow
In a lifetime long ago
When I was just a lad of seventeen
I was searchin' for connection
To the big machine
Feelin' lost like everyone
Thinkin' I was the only one
Like a tiny spoke in a wheel, just spinnin' round
I was lookin' for direction
When I heard that sound
(And I came alive)
And it was all I’d ever needed
(And I was revived)
When the rock began to roll
(And I survived)
And now when I feel defeated
I hear The Best Of Times
And the music lifts my soul
Just east of midnight
I can hear the late night radio
And like a searchlight
It will point the way
Just east of midnight
I can hear the world in stereo
And like a lifeline
I will save the day
So I got me a vehicle
A second hand miracle
Just a set of wheels with a dashboard radio
I was cruisin' down the airwaves
In the afterglow
(So I turned it up)
'Cause it was all I’d ever needed
(I turned it up)
When the rock began to roll
(Now I’m all grown up)
And now when I feel defeated
I remember all the times
When the music made me hope
Just east of midnight
I can hear the late night radio
And like a searchlight
It will point the way
Just east of midnight
I can hear the world in stereo
And like a lifeline
I will save the day
Just east of midnight
I can hear the late night radio
And like a searchlight
It will point the way
Just east of midnight
I can hear the world in stereo
And like a lifeline
I will save the day
Just east of midnight
I can hear the late night radio
And like a searchlight
It will point the way
Just east of midnight
I can hear the world in stereo
And like a lifeline
I will save the day
Just east of midnight
