He weaves out words   Over 7th & A   He speaks Egyptian   And calls your name      His blue face   Is always the same   He reached behind you and tickles the game   Anyway, there's no one left to blame      And when he hits you   And you are down on the walk   You have your promise, your midnight promise      And when you scream   It comes out a squawk   You have your promise, your midnight promise      Oh, whisper you love me   Slips out of the dawn   And into an alley where the curtains are drawn   Into a room where somebody gets on you      The moaning through garages and loading docks   The walls of Soul City   And the aging clock   The camera eye is fixed and it locks on you      He closes your eyes   And he hands you a dream   You have your promise, your midnight promise      You got the works   But, you can't afford the treat   You have your promise, your midnight promise      And if you make 20 dollars   You really have a time   You have your promise, your midnight promise      And all your cabs   And diamonds stand in line   You have your promise, your midnight promise      Your breathe on the window   Rings the note   You're always coughing from the smoke   And hatching children in your throat      Ghost hands slip   Underneath the sheets   Seems your rhythm has gone to sea   Don't push that Red Hot, it just might scream      You got a 127 ways to die   You have your promise, your midnight promise   It's such a deal   So go for the ride   And get your promise, your midnight promise
