MIDNIGHT IN THE CITY
| 1. | Beautiful Is Gone | Play | Beautiful Is Gone
Our love has come so far but not at all / I remember the start you can’t recall / By the time it was right you didn’t want to fall / If it’s over say it’s over / Blindly I let you destroy me / Love is not so beautiful when your lungs are caving in / And beautiful is gone / Oh don’t lie to me when we both know baby beautiful is gone / I pushed you so hard but not at all / You closed your eyes / I could see it all / Run out the door see no more of you and what you do
/ Blindly I let you destroy me / Love is not so beautiful when your lungs are caving in and beautiful is gone / Oh don’t lie to me when we both know baby / Beautiful is gone / Beautiful is gone / What’s in store now that you have shut the door? / Peek in through the open crack / I can’t keep from crawling back for more / Crawling back for more / Say its over if it’s over / Blindly I let you destroy me / Love is not so beautiful when your lungs are caving in and beautiful is gone / Oh don’t lie to me when we both know baby / Beautiful is gone |

| 2. | Collide | Play | Collide
You know I won’t start taking pictures until the trip is done / You know I won’t stop blowing kisses at everyone / It’s not where we are it’s where we’re going that gets me inside / Right where the heart and the headache where they collide / Straight to the heart of the problem but the damage is done / I pick up the phone call the medics but they never come / Swept under the rug where no one can see / I’ve already lost a small part of me / Take what you want / No please just take what you need / Love pull me / Love heal me / Oh how she comes when we collide / Not now you’ll say this is the game we play / And our love comes when we collide / It drives us apart, this attraction / It wont be our fault / Stand with your feet on the stairway but you never walk / When will you move / Leave here for good / Can’t break the strings that you never could / It’s all that you want / Its all that you need / Love pull me / Love heal me / Our love comes when we collide / Not now you say / This is the game we play / Our love comes when we collide / Can you feel it / Can you heal it / No? / Love pull me and love it heals me / Our love comes when we collide / Not now you say / This is how the game is played / Our love comes when we collide |

| 3. | Time & Place | Play | Time & Place
Look up, don’t you look down / This place is above / Not below the ground / The time is here / The clock is run down / The dreaming is over / Not awake but somehow I’m found / Enough, did I do enough? / A lifetime of hiding catching up / It really caught up / If this is the light on my face / If this is the time and the place / Then I can look back on my days and know that I’ve been there / So now, in the light of this hour / All the ones that I’ve touched and I loved have gathered around / I wish they could see what I see now / They’d never believe what I see now / If they only knew what I found out there / If this is the light on my face / If this is the time and the place / Then I can look back on my days and know that I’ve been there / Wish they could see what I see now/ They’d never believe what I see now/ This is the light on my face / This is the time and the place / Then I can look back on my days and know that I’ve been there / And how can’t you love what’s been done and how can’t you love when you’ve moved someone / If that’s all I have when I’m done / Then let me begin there / Let me begin there |
||||
| 4. | Come Here Come On | Come Here Come On
Oh no oh no you just can’t hide your surprise / When I tell you / Oh no oh no you just can’t pretend it’s alright when I ask you / Come here c’mon and take it away / Come here if you’ve got nothing to say / Come here I’ll make you afraid / I don’t want to find another you / I don’t want to find another you / Oh no no / It’s no surprise / Open your eyes / Feel the abuse / All the temptations / All the sensations / Give me some truth / Come here c’mon and take it away / Come here if you’ve got nothing to say / Come here I’ll make you afraid / I don’t want to find another you / I don’t want to find another you / Breaking in two is so hard to do / But easier than to return again / I don’t want to find another you / I don’t want to find another you

| 5. | Satellite | Satellite
Can you hold on to your child as the sun sets in your eyes and you face those darkened skies / Can you hold on? / But he will push away to make his great escape / There’s nothing you can say / Won’t you hold on? / You will see, see him bleed / You can’t pave the path he made / Satellite flying high / Won’t you come on down / Down to the ground / The tighter that you squeeze / The more he craves release / He’s asking you please / Can you hold on? / But he will push you away to make his great escape / There’s nothing you can say / Won’t you hold on? / You will see, see him bleed / You can’t pave the path he made / Satellite flying high / Won’t you come on down / Down to the ground / Can you hold on to your child / As the sun sets in your eyes / And you face those darkened skies / Can you hold on? / You will see, see him bleed / You can’t pave the path he made / Down to the ground / Satellite flying high / Won’t you come on down / Down to the ground |

| 6. | Sit Down Stare Out | Sit Down Stare Out
As the elevator rises to the 13th floor I ride and I’m holding on for life / Should I step out? / Should I get out and knock on your door tonight? / While you’re laughing out inside / Because what you see in me Is nothing but a shadow of what I see in you I lie awake while dreaming / Pretend to hear you breathing / Pretend I’m not alone / But I’m without you and I can barely breathe when I’m without you / So I drop my hands down to my side and run downstairs hoping that you didn’t see me / and sit down stare out at the numbers on your door / Drive off, forget to remember you some more / What you see in me is nothing but a shadow of what I see in you / I lie awake while dreaming / Pretend to hear you breathing / Pretend I’m not alone / But I’m without you and I can barely breathe when I’m without you / When I’m without you / Rescue me / So I drop my hands down to my side and then I start to run / So I drop my hands down to my side and then I start to run / Run / What you see in me is nothing but a shadow of what I see in you / I lie awake while dreaming / Pretend to hear you breathing / Pretend I’m not alone / But I’m without you and I can barely breathe when I’m without you |

| 7. | Monochrome | Monochrome
Slow down / We’re gonna take our time and make this right / Drag out / Everything that’s eating at your mind / So I deceived you cause I can’t believe you and now I’ve turned the tide / So monochrome / I watched the color drain from you / Where’s the color in this life? / Watch me doing all you’ve always feared / Just try and stop me / Pulling all the strings I can from here / So I deceived you oh / So monochrome / I watched the color drain from you / Where’s the color in this life / So monochrome / I took all I feared in you and that you must despise / It feels so good not to need you / It feels so good not to need you / But it’s so sad to watch you fall / Cause I took it all / So I deceived you cause I can’t believe you and now I’ve turned the tide / So monochrome / I watched the color drain from you / Where’s the color in this life? / So monochrome / I took all I feared in you and that you must despise |

Armed with the new album Midnight in the City, THE RUSE is taking the Los Angeles rock scene to new heights. Improving upon and expanding on the two distinct sounds of their first two albums, these boys have truly delivered their strongest record to date. From the punky new wave opener, Beautiful is Gone, to the classic rock swagger of the title track, Midnight in the City, THE RUSE takes their listeners out for a night on the town and doesn't bring them home until the sun comes up.

| 1. | Everything Comes with a Price | Everything Comes with a Price
And it takes a dive to the riverbed
And the darkness comes you lose your head When it all collides it tears a hole inside And the road is long to the end of time It's a wave you ride or at least you try When all you've got is time you just let it ride And everything comes with a price But how much can you sacrifice You feel when you win you still lose And no one else is in your shoes And the drive is long to god knows where You've lost your mind but now you just don't care The numbers on the signs are everywhere And everything comes with a price But how much can you sacrifice You feel when you win you still lose And no one else is in your shoes It's a bold idea to watch the angels sing You sit back and laugh to hide the state you're in Can you win? And everything comes with a price But how much can you sacrifice You feel when you win you still lose And no one else is in your shoes |

| 2. | Swallow You | Swallow You
I'm up
I keep waking up in the dark Just trying to stare down time all night Cause it's tough when you're left alone with your heart And it's the only constant sound all night Around Does it ever come around? Can I get back over ground tonight? Oh oh it's you Oh oh it's only you Take this sorrow let it swallow you I'm stuck Is it love if there's no pain? When that's all that's left inside it's all right Around Does it ever come around? Can I get back over ground tonight? Oh oh it's you Oh oh it's only you Take this sorrow let it swallow you The feelings in the pain It's tearing through my veins I watched the world beneath me fall Do you feel anything at all? Can you feel anything at all? Take this sorrow let it swallow you Cause it's tough when you're left alone with your heart And it's the only constant sound all night |

| 3. | All I've Done | All I've Done
ALL I'VE DONE
Not the same this time It's the lasting bind No circles and no smoke No burning bridge no sinking ship Just the whispers and the moans And all this love is burning The holes of life and learning how All I've done leads me back to you Loss of innocence and it won't be missed This is more than lust you know And the love runs deep when two people meet But there's so much ground to go And all this love is burning The holes of pain and yearning now All I've done leads me back to you All I've won takes me back to you This is all I've done Look how far we've come This is all I've done |

| 4. | Devil in the Girl | Devil in the Girl
I'm tied to you like a drifter to the night
Looking for a small town to make everything all right I'll follow you down a cracked and dusty road Headed off to nowhere where no one wants to go And you can take it all And you can own this soul I'm tied to you like muscle to the bone You know I've always been a drifter but you're like coming home And I'll follow you through the fire to the light Through the river to the gates where day becomes the night And you can take it all You can own this soul Just tell me you'd be made complete If you know it you can own it To crush this stone Keep pushing these bones The stories have been told The same old ending never grows old Another deep groove in the wall How many times will I fall? You can take it all If you want it You can own this soul If you want it Just tell me you'd be made complete If you know it you can own it |
|||||
| 5. | Light You Up | Light You Up
I'm stuck in between what I have, what I want, and what I know
It comes in a dream that every night I can't stop I'm just taking time to know Which way should I go? To light you up And bring you out I've had enough Just show me how To light you up I'm falling into what I love from what I hate it's what I need Tell me it's true the beautiful life I used to see So I'm taking time to know Which way should I go? To light you up And bring you out I've had enough I've had enough |

| 6. | The Situation | The Situation
I'd surrender everything I've made
I'd forgive you if you put me in my grave I can't deny the memories I save Not satisfied there's so much left I crave You chose the silent road I'll take the one back home Don't release me don't ever let it go All this distance we'll never let it show To survive and hide in the obscene To describe the situation we're now in You chose the silent road I'll take the one back home Don't take the time to plead You're not the one I need When you give too much you find You cannot ask in kind And all that I gave Is all you could take With nothing in between Except the scenes Or so it seems The situation we're now in When you won't come out from within And I won't be the one to fall, to fall, to fall |
|||||
| 7. | Goodbye | Goodbye
Everything has changed
Nothing's quite the same The world I knew so well Is under a brand new spell You made your moments last Left us with quite a task The life you lived so well Into its arms you fell And I only miss what I couldn't fix I only miss Oh it's time For us to say goodbye And tear this world apart When will it start? The sorry cycle came To take your soul and name The ones you loved and hurt Now blind your eyes with dirt And I couldn't cry when I whispered goodbye I couldn't cry Oh it's time To let the strings unwind And tear this world apart When will it start? Oh it's time For us to say goodbye And leave this world You can leave this world I can feel you But I can't heel you Wipe those tears from your eyes |
|||||
| 8. | Alone | Alone
I need to hear you say that you love me
But you can't say Why did I play that game of chances Now you drift away And when I get home Will you be alone I had to make the decision I had to carry that burden stone Left you alone How'd we lose the connection How could you just let it go You never let me know And when I get home Will you be alone Crumbling down The walls come crumbling down They crash with out a sound And when I get home Will you be alone |
|||||
| 9. | Don't Let it Fade Away | Don't Let it Fade Away
Let's start again
How can I save my soul Can we begin How can we make it home I don't even understand When do we break our plan It's coming Show me places nobody fears Fallen faces can't wipe away tears Fade away You'll never fade away Everyday Don't let it fade away Let's take control Where do we draw the line We move too slow Stuck in another time Don't even make a sound Maybe we'll bring this down Show me places nobody fears Fallen faces can't wipe away tears Fade away You'll never fade away Everyday Don't let it fade away |

| 10. | Hold Tight | Hold Tight
Standing on this ledge with a bottle and a notion
And I've done this before to block out the commotion And I'll repent, and I'll forget How I even got here And I'll shut down to stop the sound It's never really over Hold tight It's not easy to be following your lead Hold Tight Cause I'm down on my knees so eager to please When I walk through these streets watching all the motion I know you done this before with a young mans devotion And did you repent, and did you forget How you even got there And did you shut down to stop the sound Is this ever really over Am I still my father's son In this man I have become Hold tight It's not easy to be following your lead Hold tight Cause I'm down on my knees so eager to please Am I what I think I am In this man, this brother, this son Through the driving rain Through the blinding snow Through the scorching heat we'll go When does it end? When will this pass You made these hands I hope they last |
"I love everything about this album. This is the most complete and mature album from an unsigned band I have ever heard."
