HIGHWAYMEN IN MIDNIGHT MASKS, with it's foreboding atmosphere, minimalist composition, and fairytale lyrics, is a 'bittersweet swan song' that bares the characteristics of a true classic, albeit with a sense of post-modern descent.
lyrics
quiet now, oh listen now
i hear its thrill in every bone
ghostly face, painted lips
divine kiss.
life was never crazier
and i was never lovelier
and highwaymen in midnight masks
would whisk me away.
sweep, sweep me off my feet
carefree in that dress,
waiting in the silence,
i would be your moonlight Bess.
quiet love, oh listen, love,
i feel its thrill in every bone,
wait between the shadows for
a pair of pretty eyes.
life was so much crazier
and I was so much lovelier
and highwaymen in midnight masks
whisked me away,
sweep, sweep me off my feet,
take me to your hidden
hollow on the hill,
make me your highway girl.
highwayman, i'm riding nigh
'midst midnight's trees and devil's sky,
watch between the shadows for
a pair of desperate eyes,
sweep, sweep me off my feet
take me to your hidden
hollow on the hill,
capture me your highway girl.
