Coding after Midnight

Was cranking up Living After Midnight and then I couldn’t get the song out of my head. So I started changing the lyrics.

This is what that classic might sound like if a software developer wrote it after a particularly bad night… with apologies to the band.

Coding after midnight, PR was withdrawn
Deploy it in the morning, then I’m gone, I’m gone

I was debuggin’ ’bout one A.M,
Coded, Tested
It’s all fixed up to try again,
Coded, Tested

Barley alive it is late at night
Eyes blur from the laptop’s light

Codin’ after midnight, got more to work on
Deploy it in the morning, then I’m gone, I’m gone

I can’t go home, missing every meal,
Coded, Tested
I hear the servers start to squeal,
Coded, Tested

My pulse is racing, from Dew intake
This coder’s revved up, wide awake

Coding after midnight, features added on
Deploy it in the morning, then I’m gone, I’m gone

I’m codin’ for ya,
It’s gonna floor ya
The caffeine pouring
All night long

Wish I was chargin’ by the hour
Coded, Tested
Can’t remember my last shower
Coded, Tested

I see my board and then phone in
This pro-ject’s going in a tailspin

Coding after midnight, features added on
Deploy it in the morning, then I’m gone, I’m gone
Coding after midnight, got more to work on
Deploy it in the morning, then I’m gone, I’m gone
Coding after midnight, PR was withdrawn
Deploy it in the morning, then I’m gone, I’m gone
