In the middle of the night The train's about to leave the station I hear the whistle blow and know There's no time for hesitation Running towards the track It feels like there's no chance I'll make it Sending chills down my back Cause I can see my lifeline fading The doors closed behind me Now the wheels are rolling and we're picking up speed The midnight train, the midnight train feels no pain It's time to runaway Like purple rain, in the night, I can't explain The midnight train Oh yeah, I can't explain Like purple rain The midnight train feels no pain Oh, yeah, the midnight train The locomotive whistle blows And echoes through the tunnel Straight into the black abyss The walls begin to crumble I left my fears behind me I can finally breathe, time for reckoning The midnight train, the midnight train feels no pain It's time to runaway Like purple rain, in the night, I can't explain The midnight train Oh yeah, I can't explain Like purple rain The midnight train feels no pain Oh, yeah, the midnight train
