[Verse]
Shadows boarding
One by one
A ticket punched
The journey's begun
Steam screams loud
The whistle's pain
Midnight's crawling through the vein
[Chorus]
On the midnight express to nowhere
Monsters grin
Demons stare
City lights won’t know we’re near
On the midnight express to nowhere
[Verse 2]
Seats are broken
Dreams misplaced
Hollow eyes
A thousand-faced
Tracks are whispers
Steel turns cold
Every story’s already been sold
[Prechorus]
Do you hear it hum
Do you feel it run
[Chorus]
On the midnight express to nowhere
Monsters grin
Demons stare
City lights won’t know we’re near
On the midnight express to nowhere
[Bridge]
The wheels don't care
The brakes don't bite
The moon’s our lantern
A fractured light
We’re just ghosts on a crooked rail
A twisted hymn
A serpent's tale
