Here the train whistle blows
Rolling down the line
They're going to rescue
This heart of mine
Hear the rumble and roar
Of the Moonlight Express
A one last chance
At a better world than this
A better world than this
Every traveler's side
Silent as a storm
A large line
But not quite
Flesh and bone
Yet I would not be dogged
Or driven to faint
By a trainload of lost souls
In the high flat
Then a voice
From a hooded road
Went back
Whispered pale to me
Here we go
There ain't no turning back
All aboard
Cry the train guard
Make ready for your magic mountain ride
Say goodbye to the world down below us
Here's your one way ticket to the other side
All aboard
The ghost train
Drop all your trappings out the door
Wave goodbye to the boy in the car
He'll be in the window
You won't be seeing him anymore
Like a bat out of hell, we shot into space
I saw a weeping face, it was the face of a child
That caught me to the bone
And I heard him say, don't go away
Papa, please come home
Had no clue as to who was crying in the dark
But it hurt so bad that I suddenly had a change of heart
All aboard, cried the train guard
Make ready for your magic mountain ride
Say goodbye to the world down below us
Here's your one way to get to the other side
Yeah
Yeah
All aboard, ghost train
Drop all your trappings out the door
Wave goodbye to the volume of the window
You won't be seeing him anymore
All aboard, no more
All aboard, no more
And so I left off the train, fell into my skin
The mountains up and grew back to the land of the living
To a cottage in the woods, into the arms of a woman
Well, I held my head to a giant's head
We're gonna have a son
We're gonna have a son
We're gonna have a son
All aboard
All aboard
All aboard
Ghost train
All aboard
