midnight from the inside out

I'm still trying to get into Lions and I've managed to rotate a few songs into my daily TBC playlist. One of them being Midnight From the Inside Out but I still contend that Lions is just so different from every other TBC album. And, indeed, Midnight From the Inside Out is a bit heavier sounding to me. It's been played 91 times live, which is more than I would have guessed. Watching the live version below, however, I can see why . . .

You, with your fast and furlined mind
With your disregard of time, virtue, horizon
Here, where the angels never sleep
Where the water's dark and deep
You breathe molasses

Chorus:
Midnight from the inside out
Turn around and they all fall down
Screaming red and the lights go out
Turn around and they all fall down

You, madness dripping from your tongue
While staring at the sun
You speak explosion
Up, with the flies around the moon
Needle, mirror, spoon and cotton candy
