Twenty Five To Midnight |
| Train, I ride don’t be slow |
| If your whistle can blow |
| Fifteen miles down the track |
| Tell them I’m coming back |
| Counting poles, counting sheep |
| Don’t be slow, I won’t weep |
| If your wheels on the line |
| Were to put me on time |
| Just a year to the day |
| Since I went upon my way |
| Seek my fortune and fame |
| Be a star, change my name |
| And that’s it, more or less |
| 'Til this midnight express |
| I know I can’t be late |
| 'Cause she said, she won’t wait |
| She’ll just go, marry Jack |
| So there’s no turning back |
| And it’s twenty five to midnight |
| And fifteen miles of track |
| Band I had got a break |
| Just one chance we had to take |
| I told my girl I’d be back |
| Left her with my friend Jack |
| New York City for a spell |
| Things didn’t turn out so well |
| Every dive that we played |
| We were lucky, we got paid |
| Mr. Train driver please |
| If your speed you increase |
| Every cent I have now |
| Will be yours, this I vow |
| And that’s it, more or less |
| 'Til this midnight express |
| I know I can’t be late |
| 'Cause she said, she won’t wait |
| She’ll just go and marry Jack |
| So there’s no turning back |
| And it’s twenty five to midnight |
| And fifteen miles of track |
| We called ourselves the Latino Lovers |
| Hawaiian shirts and top forty covers |
| I didn’t think, I could sink this low |
| When drugs and booze ate all my dough |
| This isn’t how it was meant to be There’s no such thing as a meal that’s free |
| If I was ever to get out alive |
| I have to get home on time |
| Train, I ride don’t be slow |
| If your whistle can blow |
| Fifteen miles down the track |
| Tell them I’m coming back |
| And that’s it, more or less |
| 'Til this midnight express |
| I know I can’t be late |
| 'Cause she said, she won’t wait |
| She’ll just go and marry Jack |
| So there’s no turning back |
| And it’s twenty five to midnight |
| And fifteen miles of track |
| And it’s twenty five to midnight |
| And fifteen miles of track |
