twenty-five to midnight - sting lyrics
train i ride, don’t be slow
if your whistle can blow
fifteen miles down the track
tell them i’m coming 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
to 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
’cause she said, she won’t wait
she’ll just go 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
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
mr. 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
’cause she said, she won’t wait
she’ll just go 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
when drugs and booze ate all my dough
this isn’t how it 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 home on time
train i ride, don’t be slow
if your whistle can blow
fifteen miles down the track
tell them i’m coming back
and that’s it more or less
’til this midnight express
i know i can’t be late
’cause she said, she won’t wait
she’ll just go marry jack
so there’s no turning back
and it’s twenty-five to midnight
and fifteen miles of track
and it’s twenty-five to midnight
and fifteen miles of track
