Midnight cowboy rides again

In the night
the sparkle of a knight
The knight sparkles in the night
and the midnight cowboy rides again
a boy
hangs out with you
then drives you home
he gives you a kiss
was he serious?!?!?
and the midnight cowboy rides again
a white unicorn
eats your pants
what in the name
of craziness????!!!!
and the midnight cowboy rides again
a cowboy that may only ride on the minute of midnight
and no other time
that’s just strange
he cries
It is now 12:01
so now there is a different one
a midnight and 1 minute cowboy rides for the first time.

This was inspired by an eye shadow. It was called 'Midnight Cowboy Rides Again'. I fell in love.
