Bought a ticket to this train
God knows I paid my price
I don't mind going on this trip
Any evening but not tonight

I'm going down

Time is closing in on you
Anytime now this train will move
It's too late to reconsider
Here's one battle you're gonna lose

I'm going down on a midnight train

Everybody's friendely and everybody's smiling
Now everybody wants to have a little chat
Everybody just needs to get their price
And we're the action so it seems
Please do you love me, please don't hate me
Please like the song I'm spitting out now
Please do you love me, please don't hate me
It feels like a sellout and I think I'm going down

I'm going down on a midnight train

Screaming noises, screaming voices
Lights shining in your eyes
Please let the curtain call my bluff
'Cause this is just a bunch of lies

I'm going down on a midnight train
