The Kills - Midnight Boom: Wikipedia Album Entry
Midnight Boom is the third album from The Kills, released on March 10, 2008 through Domino Records (March 17, 2008 in the United States). It was recorded in Benton Harbour, MI. "Midnight Boom" refers to the moment the moon comes up and everyone else goes to bed.
The album was preceded with a site, also titled Midnight Boom, dedicated to the videos and multi-tracks for "U.R.A. Fever", "Cheep and Cheerfull", and "Last Day of Magic". Due to the album's unexpectedly high profile level, "Tape Song" and "Black Balloon" served as follow-up singles, and "Sour Cherry" became a cult hit due to its inclusion on the show Gossip Girl.

The Kills - Midnight Boom Lyrics
The Kills - U.R. A Fever Lyrics
Walk you to the counter
(What you got to offer?)
Pick you out a solder
(Look at you forever)
The Kills - What New York Used To Be Lyrics
Come on, come on drama
Come on draw, scratch and say it
Say it, make it to the bottom
Let it climb and drop an apple off the top
The Kills - Alphabet Pony Lyrics
Easy, alphabet pony
Uh easy, alphabet pony
Funny monkey
The Kills - Sour Cherry Lyrics
Shout when you wanna get off the ride
Shout when you wanna get off the ride
Shout when you wanna get off the ride
'Cause you crossed my mind, you crossed my mind
The Kills - M.E.X.I.C.O.C.U Lyrics
Running into trouble
Running into trouble
You've got heavenly eyes
Thousand highs
The Kills - Black Balloon Lyrics
Elevator straight into my skull
The escalator rises as it falls
I swear our jet is crashing in my mind
You can hold on but I wouldn't waste your time
The Kills - Hook And Line Lyrics
With your hook & line
Us to blow away
With your hook & line
Us to blow away
The Kills - Last Day Of Magic Lyrics
We're two parties, two parties ending
What if you move? What if you hide?
There's only so much you can miss
Before we both collide
The Kills - Getting Down Lyrics
What's going on fire
I want you to know
My spirit's alive
I want you to know
The Kills - Tape Song Lyrics
You've got to
You've got to
You've got to
You've got to
The Kills - Cheap And Cheerful Lyrics
I'm bored of cheap & cheerful
I want expensive sadness
Hospital bills, parole
Open doors to madness
The Kills - Goodnight Bad Morning Lyrics
Steam's working, I see it in everyone
Like a lost idea under a light bulb sun
Your eyes, ready for takeoff, melt in your head
What a beautiful state we're in
