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
