Interlude outtro field recording feat Noah, Catherine and the Ray White team.

lyrics

The light is fading like an ember
Like a yellow amber summer day
Something's got my third eye blind
This semi-charmed kinda life

I'm hanging on what I barely remember
My future's just a memory
Something's got me paralysed
This semi-charmed kinda life

Locked down in the middle of the night
Locked down in the middle of the night
Let's dream up a getaway
Let's dream up a getaway

Locked down in the middle of the night
Locked down in the middle of the night
Let's dream up a getaway
Let's dream up a-

I got everything I had ever wanted
But I end up only wanting more
Somethings got my third eye blind
This semi charmed kinda life

I'm drifting and I'll take you with me
Take your hand in the night, I know where it is
Darling won't you be my wife
In a summertime kinda life

Locked down in the middle of the night
Locked down in the middle of the night
Let's dream up a getaway
Let's dream up a getaway

Locked down in the middle of the night
Locked down in the middle of the night
Let's dream up a getaway
Let's dream up a-

I move away from the darkness
I move towards the light
Dreams often follow you
As you float

I move away from the darkness
I move towards the light
Dreams often follow you
As you float

Locked down in the middle of the night
Locked down in the middle of the night
Let's dream up a getaway
Let's dream up a getaway

Locked down in the middle of the night
Locked down in the middle of the night
Let's dream up a getaway
Let's dream up a getaway

I move away from the darkness
I move towards the light
Dreams often follow you
As you float

Dave Ruby Howe, Music Director of Triple J Home & Hosed, describes Spectoral as an artist who "can be relied on to deliver highly detailed productions with unshakable earworm qualities at their core".
