about

Track 2 of Highway Gothic
ButterBean Records
BB002

Recorded at ButterBean, Mystery Street, Arlington Heights Memorial Library, and Stagby Manor/Room of Requirement, Chicago.

Came to me in a dream. I don't know what it means.

lyrics

In the middle of the summer, in the middle of the night, yeah
We heard the beat of the drum and it was loose and it was tight, yeah
And we knew it was wrong and we knew it was right, yeah
In the middle of the song, in the middle of the night, yeah

And we hopped and sweated strutted twisted
Poured ourselves a drinky
And we tore and tripped and screamed and ripped
And we danced that beat to slinky, hey hey hey

In the middle of the floor in the middle of the night, yeah
She heard the beat of the drum and she threw down the lights, yeah
And she felt her heart thrum and she knew it was right, yeah
In the middle of the floor, in the middle of the night, yeah

And she hopped and sweated, twisted, yeah
Had him wrapped around her pinky
And she tore and tripped and screamed and ripped
And slid her hips all slow and slinky, hey hey hey

In the middle of the road in the middle of the night, yeah
We heard the beat of the drum and we threw on the brights, yeah
And we screamed out the song and we knew it was right, yeah
In the middle of the road in the middle of the night, yeah

And we hopped and sweated strutted twisted
Feeling all nice and hinky
And we tore and tripped and screamed and ripped
And we danced that beat to slinky, hey hey hey
