| Alone and alive on the midnight train
|
| The life as I knew it
|
| Shot down the drain
|
| Right on time or way too late?
|
| Oh Lord, give me all your mercy
|
| To get it straight
|
| The night keeps breathing down my neck
|
| My nerves are shot; |
| I’m nearly a wreck
|
| Oh midnight train
|
| Take me away
|
| Oh, Again
|
| I do, I don’t
|
| I’m close to insanity
|
| I will, I won’t
|
| The doubt is a-killing me
|
| Bridges burning
|
| Wheels are turning
|
| I cut the rope
|
| And free-fall to stay alive
|
| I cling to hope
|
| And see if I learn to fly
|
| Bridges burning
|
| Wheels are turning
|
| And I’m running away?
|
| Alone and alive on the midnight train
|
| Over the edge just to feel the flame
|
| Or am I just another pathetic liar?
|
| And if I get burned will I always dread the fire?
|
| I do, I don’t
|
| I’m close to insanity
|
| I will, I won’t
|
| The doubt is a-killing me
|
| Bridges burning
|
| Wheels are turning
|
| I cut the rope
|
| And free-fall to stay alive
|
| I cling to hope
|
| And see if I learn to fly
|
| Bridges burning
|
| Wheels are turning
|
| I feel the blood rushing through my brain
|
| Under my skin and in my veins
|
| Oh, this is real; |
| no I’m not insane
|
| This time I’m gonna win this race
|
| It’s only me and the open space
|
| I speed up, pray for grace
|
| This is real; |
| no I’m not insane
|
| I’m riding fast on the midnight train
|
| This time I won’t stay at the station
|
| No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
|
| Oh no
|
| I do, I don’t
|
| I’m close to insanity
|
| I will, I won’t
|
| The doubt is a-killing me
|
| Bridges burning
|
| Wheels are turning
|
| I cut the rope
|
| And free-fall to stay alive
|
| I cling to hope
|
| And see if I learn to fly
|
| Bridges burning
|
| Wheels are turning
|
| Before I come back home
|
| I’ve gotta take care of this
|
| Oh, I’m coming home
|
| I’ve gotta take care… yeah
|
| Before I come back home
|
| I remember being here before
|
| So many times or even more
|
| How many lives do I have to live?
|
| To get things straight on the midnight train |
