Il testo della 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
To 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
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 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 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
