[Verse 1]
Feels like we danced into a nightmare
We're living 1984
If doublethink's no longer fiction
We'll dream of Huxley's Island shores

[Pre-Chorus]
Waking life, it lets us down
So close your eyes and melt away

[Chorus]
In the middle of the night
I can dream away
Change what I like and go back to the future again
In the middle of the night
Gonna scream your name
Bring you to life then go back to the future again

[Post-Chorus]
In the middle of the night, ahoo
Ahoo

[Verse 2]
Now that reality's distorted
Can we just Blade Run-Run away
Back into some imagined future
Let's tap our heels three times and pray

[Pre-Chorus]
Uh, waking life, it lets us down
So close your eyes and melt away

[Chorus]
In the middle of the night
I can dream away
Change what I like and go back to the future again
In the middle of the night
Gonna scream your name
Bring you to life then go back to the future again

[Post-Chorus]
In the middle of the night, ahoo
Ahoo
In the middle of the night, ahoo
Ahoo

[Bridge]
Hey, uh, uh
Uh, take me back to the future
Uh, take me back to the future
Uh, take me back to the future
Uh, take me back to the future
Uh, let's go back to the future
Uh, let's go back to the future

[Outro]
In the middle of the night
Can I dream away?
Bring you to life then go back to the future again
In the middle of the night (Ahoo)
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night, ahoo
Ahoo

Bastille

Bastille is a British indie pop band. After releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011, the band was signed to Virgin Records. Following their signing, the band released two mix-tapes – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 — for free. In an interview with The Guardian, Dan Smith discussed the

Someone recently said to ‘The mixtapes were very clever, was that the label’s idea?’ Actually the label were completely against it; we were stealing and sampling illegally left, right and centre. The label ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.

Preceding the release of their debut album, Bad Blood, the band released several singles — “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood” and “Flaws”— to moderate commercial success. In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.
