about

It is late on the nightshift.

lyrics

Midnight Express

The streets are cold and my feet are wet
It’s a crappy job but it pays the rent
My hands are frozen and my head is sore
Boss thinks he’s god but that’s the score

But I’ll be home soon to see you at midnight
No time to be depressed on the midnight express

I guess at school I should have played the game
For a life of pleasure not a life of pain
But you make your bed and you’ve got to lie
Take what you can and give it a try

But I’ll be home soon to see you at midnight
No time to be depressed on the midnight express

Working on the nightshift doesn’t pay so well
One man’s heaven is another man’s hell
I’ll park your car sir and I’ll do it swell
Returned without a scratch if you tip me well

Now do what you want but don’t call me the tin man
Do what you want but don’t call me the tin man

I guess at school I should have played the game
For a life of pleasure not a life of pain
But you make your bed and you’ve got to lie
Take what you can and give it a try
