Karaoke Twenty Five To Midnight

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
