Karaoké Twenty Five to Midnight Sting

The train I ride don't be slow if your whistle can blow

Fifteen miles down the track tell them I'm comin' 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 'cos 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

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

Mister 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 'cos 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

And drugs and booze ate all my dough

This isn't how I 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 some more time

Train I ride don't be slow if your whistle can blow

Fifteen miles down the track tell them I'm comin' back

And that's it more or less 'til this midnight express

I know I can't be late 'cos 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

Twenty five to midnight and fifteen miles of track
