It took some time for us to find
A way for us to kill the time
And when we sing while we are lone
And what we lost

No we won't go nowhere where we don't wanna go
No you can't tell us nothing we don't wanna know

We are the midnight children
We are dancing on our own
We are the midnight children
And we go out when you go home

We never thought we'd see the night
From the cage we're trapped inside
And how the night began to fall
And how it fell

No we won't go nowhere where we don't wanna go
No you can't tell us nothing we don't wanna know

We are the midnight children
We are dancing on our own
We are the midnight children
And we go out when you go home

We are the midnight children
We are dancing on our own
We are the midnight children
And you can leave us we don't wanna go

Outside in this place I can't get out
I don't know what to do, what to do with myself
Outside in this place I can't get out
How we gonna find a way to get out

We are the midnight children
We are dancing on our own
We are the midnight children
And we go out when you go home

We are the midnight children
We are dancing on our own
We are the midnight children
And you can leave us we don't wanna go

We are the midnight children
And we go out when you go home
