With your undying hope in hand
Waiting for the midnight train to land
you may have guessed before
But just in case you're still uncertain
That train don't run here anymore
That train don't run here anymore
Not like it used to run before
When it brought lady to the city
When it brought stranger from the shore
Life doesn't run here anymore
That train don't run here anymore
Wally, would you step inside the door?
For you can hear the howling of the train
You don't look too hard in my position I'll never,
You are confused by changing faces
Yeah, but when you learn the rules
You catch the drip but not the drifter
I see you hangin' from a window
Prepare to fall me softly
You don't need no crystal ball to tell you
That train don't run here anymore
That train don't run here anymore
Not like it used to run before
When it brought gravity from the city
Seashell bracelets from the shore
No, no, it doesn't run here anymore
Like a train don't run here anymore
would you step inside the door?
For you can't hear the howling of the train
If you don't work too hard in my position,
I'll never, never tease you again
You practice hard at what you do
So when it came around, it came to you
Anyone you want to take along
Will have an ear cajoling in the song
But when the train gets busted open
To show an empty safe, sir
You get slapped out of your slumber
That train don't run here anymore
Not like it used to run before
A big red apple took the city
And it even caught it off the core
That doesn't run here anymore
That train don't run here anymore
But we don't run here anymore
But we don't run here anymore
But we don't run here anymore
But we don't run here anymore
But we don't run here anymore
we don't run here anymore
And we don't run here anymore
