lyrics

From apartment building backstreets from inside the promised land
Lost glory start reminiscing
And so the 'Midnight Moth' always the opportunist
Gives him the slip and makes for the freight train
With overcast shadows towards global the dark side maestro
Antagonises the fetishists
(To secure the profit system, to ensure we will always need them)
But a love letter has been written to the CEO
And while that lunatic stamps his authority on an unconvinced majority
Who shout
Hear me now
Change is afoot

The midnight moth is near the cargo bay
Acknowledging that corporation defined
Ceases to exist as a majority but continues to
React as an uncooperative mastermind
Temporary relocation has been deemed essential
And so the freight train maintains its course south along the line
Being merely an unannounced and undesired passenger
He maintains subtlety amongst passers by
Choosing to keep permissive
Despite lost glory's recent decline
The Midnight Moth finds refuge amongst the people left in transit
Claiming fragile
Expensive goods
