In this dirty town there's nothing going for me No shows going down that I would want to see Nothing but the midnight train In this shady street on a top floor flat Women take their sheets down to the laundromat And as the night falls on this town I'm going to watch the moon come down Watch the moon come down I'm gonna watch the moon come down Watch it come down As the workmen walk home, reflected in the car chrome Splashing through the gutters and the sand The birds move in the rafters hearing echoes of the laughter From children in a playground close at hand And hands inside my pockets, staring at the light sockets Everyone's been blown out everyone's been thrown out I said baby baby baby baby baby I'm going to watch the moon come down Watch the moon come down I'm gonna watch the moon come down Watch it come down If I stay out all night test the midnight train's headlights Follow the tracks beyond sight to the bend Now who've I got to let down, tell me somebody with their head down Bargin' into solid ground in the end in the end, yeah in the end Waitin for the end, arrive to the end, hey hey (guitar solo) I said baby baby baby baby baby Watch the moon come down (three times) Yes I'm going to watch the moon come down Yeah I'm going to watch the moon come down like a midnight train uh huh Uh uh I'm going to watch the moon come down watch it come down Yes I'm going to watch the moon come down, like a midnight train
