When your good nights have been said, and you are lying in bed, with the covers pulled up tight
And though you count every sheep, you get the feeling that sleep is gonna stay away tonight
That's when you hear it coming, that's when you hear the humming of the midnight train
Here again, can't explain that midnight train, that midnight train
Starlight Express, you must confess, are you real, yes or no?
Starlight Express, answer me yes, I don't want you to go
Want you to take me away, but bring me back before daylight, and in the time between
Take me to everywhere, but don't abandon me there, just want to say I've been
I believe in you completely, though you may be dreaming sweetly
I can hear the train, here again, can't explain that midnight train, that midnight train
Starlight Express, you must confess, are you real, yes or no?
Starlight Express, answer me yes, I don't want you to go
Starlight Express, answer me yes, I don't want you to go
Starlight Express, you must confess, are you real, yes or no?
Starlight Express, answer me yes, I don't want you to go
Starlight Express, you must confess, are you real, yes or no?
Starlight Express, answer me yes, I don't want you to go
