999 - The Midnight Express Lyrics

Got no money in your pocket
Got no food for your dinner
And you're thinking to yourself
About your next money spinner
Just another melody
Just another notion
It's a captive audience
Now you're all in motion
So take your chance on the Midnight Express
Strange locomotion travelling west
So get on-board the 10:45
Pass the hat and grab your bag
Pull into the station
Got to get a little bit
Of fortification
Never know your luck until
It hits you in the face
It could be a tragedy
But you gotta watch this space
So take your chance on the Midnight Express
Strange locomotion travelling west
So get on-board the 10:45
Get the last ride to the sticks
And places in the middle
The cards are on the table
And someone's on the fiddle
It's a sticky situation
And no one really knows
Just how this party started
Then the whistle blows
So take your chance on the Midnight Express
Strange locomotion travelling west
So get on-board the 10:45

Got no money in your pocket
Got no food for your dinner
And you're thinking to yourself
About your next money spinner
Just another melody
Just another notion
It's a captive audience
Now you're all in motion
So take your chance on the Midnight Express
Strange locomotion travelling west
So get on-board the 10:45
Pass the hat and grab your bag
Pull into the station
Got to get a little bit
Of fortification
Never know your luck until
It hits you in the face
It could be a tragedy
But you gotta watch this space
So take your chance on the Midnight Express
Strange locomotion travelling west
So get on-board the 10:45
Get the last ride to the sticks
And places in the middle
The cards are on the table
And someone's on the fiddle
It's a sticky situation
And no one really knows
Just how this party started
Then the whistle blows
So take your chance on the Midnight Express
Strange locomotion travelling west
So get on-board the 10:45
