Dr. Pants: Listen

Make The Midnight Hang (Acoustic Demo)

(Dr. Pants)

David C. Broyles

An acoustic demo of a song that will probably make the next record. My friend Steve, when he wants to describe hanging out or getting together with people, uses the phrase "make the hang". The title of this song is about both making a hang at midnight, but also midnight being hanged. Go from there.

WE WERE ONCE THE TOAST OF OUR OWN TOWN
MAYBE IN EXHAUSTION BUT NEVER IN DOUBT
NOW IT'S OVERRATED AND DECAYED
NO ONE HAS THE PLANS THEY'VE BEEN MISLAID

CAN YOU SEE IT SWINGING BACK AND FORTH?

ARE YOU GONNA MAKE THE MIDNIGHT HANG?
I'LL BE SITTING WAITING IN THE BACK
ARE YOU GONNA MAKE THE MIDNIGHT HANG?
WILL WE LET IT FALL INTO THE CRACKS?

MIDNIGHT HAS TO DIE TO LIVE AGAIN
I ACCEPT IT BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND
MIDNIGHT'S MY ILLUSION AND MY TRUTH
MIDNIGHT'S MY CONNECTION TO MY YOUTH

YOU'RE INVITED TO THE PARTY
I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT STARTS
BETTER BRING SOME BAND-AIDS
THIS COULD HURT YOUR HEART
I DON'T KNOW WHY IT IS
WE KEEP MAKING MORE RULES
ABOUT HOW WE'RE SUPPOSED TO LIVE
