Midnight Situation

from South of the Wall by Walter Ehresman

/

about

The final entry in the album's strong opening trifecta of in-your-face rock and roll, this time with an old Southern rock feel (think Allman Brothers, which Ehresman says he likes, not Lynyrd Skynyrd, which he says he can't stand musically or morally).

lyrics

Midnight Situation
(© 2017 Walter Ehresman)

Not quite sure how it got this far;
The action has wandered a little off page;
It’s fever-pitch city, man, and something’s got to give;
Cut the pressure valve, baby; find the exit backstage.

I didn’t plan for this;
It wasn’t in the diagram;
And no contingency fits;
I didn’t call the stuntman.

[chorus #1]
How will you handle your midnight situation?
How will you handle your blinder saturation?

….I guess I let my guard down;
I thought we could all have just a moment of ease;
So hard to keep together, baby, all of the time;
‘til the anvil from the sky falls down and drops you to your knees.

[chorus #2]
How will you handle your midnight situation?
How will you handle your blind-side realization?
How will you handle your midnight situation?
How will you handle that lack of cogitation?
How will you handle your midnight situation?
How will you handle that spotlight information?
