In the dead of night

"In the dead of night" is a song by The Gliding Faces. One of the many examples of the synergy between Max and Dan, this song was put together while Max was staying over at Dan and Peter's place in Coventry. The song was the last to be released as a maxi-single from the album, Dark matters.

Lyrics

I can't stop thinking
 That something wants to take me
 Away from my own thought patterns
 Somewhere that's not been seen
 
 If the dark cloud hadn't come
 I might have made it home
 And now I'm not so sure
 Where I want to be
 
 And sometimes I like to walk
 Alone till I'm back with me
 
 In the dead of night
 In the dead of night
 
 It's harder to think about truth
 Or make sense of positive connotations
 When I'm constantly sent down there
 A place where we use fronts
 
 And sometimes I like to walk
 Alone till I'm back with me
 
 In the dead of night
 In the dead of night
 In the dead of night
 In the dead of night
 
 I'm taking a deep breath
 I'm tasting the sour air
 I'm thinking of home
 I'm thinking of no one
 
 In the dead of night
 In the dead of night
 In the dead of night
 In the dead of night
 
 In the dead of night
 In the dead of night
 In the dead of night
 In the dead of night
 
 In the dead of night
