Medicine at Midnight Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Say a prayer and close the light, thumb upon the scale
The pillow is cold, and that ship has sailed
Time has run the river dry, dry as a twisted trail
Into the bone, I'm into it

[Pre-Chorus]
Ever get the feelin' nothin' else will do?
I could hear you singin', pink turned to blue
Was it your graffiti? Did you write your name?
On the dirty ceilin', I can't explain

[Chorus]
I need medicine at midnight, but it ain't no cure
Medicine at midnight callin', but it ain't no cure
I may be sick, but you know
I'm yours

[Verse 2]
I remember dancin' hard under the dead moon
Howlin' with you, howlin'!

[Pre-Chorus]
Ever get the feelin' nothin' else will do?
I could hear you singin', I can't explain

Get tickets as low as $29

[Chorus]
I need medicine at midnight, but it ain't no cure
Medicine at midnight, howlin', but it ain't no cure
I may be sick, but you know
I'm yours

[Bridge]
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes

[Chorus]
Medicine at midnight, but it ain't no cure
Medicine at midnight, howlin', but it ain't no cure
I may be sick, but you know
I'm yours

[Outro]
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes
Rain on the dance floor, back against the ropes

About

This song bio is unreviewed

Medicine At Midnight is the Foo Fighters' 10th album.

Frontman Dave Grohl has likened the record’s sound to David Bowie’s Let’s Dance, and its title track in particular pays tribute to the 1983 hit. It’s a huge f–king rock song that I imagine opening every festival from here to Melbourne, he told NME

Though Grohl penned his lyrics before the coronavirus era, many of them apply to the traumas caused by the pandemic. This song is a case in point.

Medicine at midnight calling, but it ain’t no cure
I may be sick, but you know I’m yours

Grohl told UK newspaper The Sun he loved the song’s lyric, because medicine represents some sort of healing and midnight represents desperation. And people feel some sort of desperation and are in need of healing, whether that’s a vaccine or a f—ing shot of whiskey before bed.
