Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) Songtext
von Brian David Gilbert

To my dearest sister slash wife Elizabeth
I am absolutely sick with grief at the news of Mother′s death
I have buried myself in my studies
And I pray that I shall find a breakthrough
Before death finds me
May this loneliness end soon
Yours truly and humbling, Victor Frankenstein

(Half past twelve)
And I'm reading my letters in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
(Autumn winds)
Blowing outside my window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom

There′s not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer


Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me come and dig up a grave
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Lighting up the darkness with electricity
(I give you life)

(Live, my creature, live)

(Alchemists)
Find the end of the rainbow with a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I′m living in
(Tired of dead things)
I open the window and I gaze into the night
Seems like it′s a perfect time to create life

There's not a soul out there
Why not make one in here?


Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won′t somebody help me come and dig up a grave
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Lighting up the darkness with electricity
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
(It's alive! My creature lives!)
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
(I can foresee no repercussions to this! Absolutely none)
(Love me, father)
(Why′d you make me so big?)
(Here I go out into the woods)
(Hope I don't light myself on fire on an iceberg later)
(What have I created? What have I done?)
(Why have you created me? Just to suffer?)
