Midnight Swim Songtext
von Pie for Billy

Static glow on the CRT,
It′s 3 AM and I can't sleep
Space Ghost′s on, but the jokes feel heavy,
Like every laugh's a fuckin' epitaph for me

We used to quote Aqua Teen lines,
Now I′m stuck rewinding my whole damn life
Inuyasha′s on, too late to change the channel,
I'm just a ghost in a Venture Bros. panel

I miss the way the world felt wrong,
Static hum and a dial-up song
Now I′m too old for this shit, but I still can't quit
Take me back again for a Midnight Swim!

The microwave clock screams 4:03,
A half-eaten Hot Pocket and this broken TV
Samurai Jack still fights through time,
But I can′t rewind past two thousand nine


Robot Chicken's breaking my brain,
Every sketch feels like a memory I can′t explain
I'd kill to watch Tim and Eric one more time,
Before the sunrise blinds me with its shine

I miss the way the world felt wrong,
Static hum and a dial-up song
Now I'm too old for this shit, but I still can′t quit
Take me back again for a Midnight Swim!

I miss the way she looked at me,
At the time when we were young and free
She won′t remember my name,
But I'll still be the same
Take me back again for a Midnight Swim!

The infomercials hum like a lullaby now,
But the jokes don′t hit the same somehow
We swore we'd never be those guys
Now I′m alone chasing TV screen highs

The laugh tracks echo like ghosts in my room,
Static confessionals in the dark glow of the moon
I traded my friends for reruns and sighs,
And a hollow glow where my heartbeat dies


I miss the way the world felt WRONG,
Pizza rolls and a Brak Show song!
Now I'm too old for this shit, but I still can′t quit
Take me back again for a MIDNIGHT SWIM!

I miss the way she looked at me,
At the time when we were young and free
She won't remember my name,
But I'll still be the same
Take me back again for a Midnight Swim!

Why can′t I go back to those days?
Hangin′ out in a weed fueled haze
I know they're already gone,
But I keep the lights on
Take me back again for a Midnight Swim!

I love the way the world felt wrong,
Static hum and a dial-up song
Now I′m too old for this shit, but I still can't quit
Take me back again for a Midnight Swim!
