“Midnight City” is off of M83’s sixth, and critically acclaimed album Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming (Naive, 2011). The song’s catchiness quickly made it one of the most popular songs of the year, appearing on the top of many “Best of” lists.

Midnight City lyrics

Waiting in a car
Waiting for a ride in the dark
The night city grows
Look at the horizon glow
Waiting in a car
Waiting for a ride in the dark
Drinking in the lounge
Following the neon signs
Waiting for a word
Looking at the milky skyline
The city is my church (city is my church)
It wraps me in its blinding twilight
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
