Sting - Twenty Five To Midnight lyrics

Your rating:

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 25 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 25 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 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track
 And it's 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track
