[Verse] Streetlights bleedin yellow through the fog A dame in red lipstick and a whispered name Shadows dancin on the grimy brick wall This city aint nothin but a crooked game [Prechorus] My fedora pulled down low Another story bout to blow [Chorus] Midnight train whistle cryin Out there somewhere someone dyin Midnight train a lonely sound The truth aint never gonna be found [Verse 2] A dame with eyes like emeralds bright Spillin secrets in the dim saloon light Said her man was gone a puff of smoke Left her with a heartache and a broken joke [Bridge] The saxophone wails a mournful tune Underneath a pale and sliver moon Every face a mystery every corner a lie Just another day beneath a cold hard sky [Chorus]
