LYRICS:

You set the snakes loose inside my belly.

They're done with my supper, they start on my endocrine lining.

You said, "Please stop your whining!"

This isn't a love song. I'm through writing those for you.

All the while you claimed the ghost in you lives,

but it's dead it's inside my head

and all that I know is that it's midnight and you haven't called.

Oh, when you sigh, and you cry,

I figure you probably lie and I'm here waiting.

And all I can see, if there's anyone fooled then it's probably me

and I'm here waiting.

And all that I know is that it's midnight and you haven't called.

And all that I see is that it's midnight And you haven't called.

All that I know is I'm left with frustration

and this hyperactive imagination of mine.

I would love to lay all my faith in you.

Why can't I let fate have its way with me?

I would love to, but...

It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over

You say you're at Mother's, but do you mean lover's?

Are you in the amorous arms of another?

It chills every bone in me, straight to the core of me.

Your girlfriend concurs with you, is she your alibi?

How did you get that sweet little girl to lie?

Meanwhile I'm here waiting....

And all that I know is that it's midnight and you haven't called.

And all that I see is that it's midnight And you haven't called.

All that I know is I'm left with frustration and this hyperactive imagination of mine.

I would love to lay all my faith in you.

Why can't I let fate have its way with me?

I would love to place all my trust in you.

Why can't I? 'Cause... It's over, it's over, it's over (again)

This isn't a love song. I'm through writing those for you.

All the while you claimed the ghost in you lives, but it's dead and it's inside my head

And all that I know is that it's midnight

And you haven't called.

I've been thinking what this song is about and aside from the through writing love songs bit the most I can come up with is a father talking about his son staying out late and doing other things that make him lose trust in his kid. Does anyone know what the song is actually about?

I’ve had this song on my mind since I ran into my ex. You sir make music that just helps people get their feelings out constructively. Heading over to Ex lover’s Lover although to be frank it’s him that would be getting mailed in pieces all around the world :-)

I got into a chat room with my friend one day (just us) and since neither of us were talking i put on "When You're Evil" and sang along with it he wound up asking, and i quote, "What the hell are you listening to" i told him "Voltaire When You're Evil" he wound up listening to a bunch of Voltaire and liked it, then he played the "Have you heard this" ame with me (plays a song and someone guesses what it is) nothing but Voltaire stuff

I've noticed that this great song has a similar key, rhythm, and overall tone as the equally great "Ex Lover's Lover." Have you ever considered trying to put the two together as a big, epic, scorned lover's medley, Mr. Voltaire? I feel like they'd fit together beautifully. :-)

It's great to see artists that actually put feelings in their songs, it's weirdly rare to find artists making... ART (as in the act of expressing feelings through song). I've been a fan of yours ever since the Nostalgia Critic used "When You're Evil" in his Top 11 Disney Villains list (I actually had to search for the lyrics online to find out who was the artist) and I hope it stays that way forever. You're an idol of mine, my good sir.
