[Verse 1]
Not a knife-throw from here you can hear the night train passing
That's the sound somebody makes when they're getting away
Leaving next week's hanging jury far behind them
Prisoner only of the choices they've made
[Chorus]
Night train
Night train
[Verse 2]
Ice cube in a dark drink shines like starlight
The moon is floating somewhere out at sea
I'm an island in the blur of noise and colour
Alcatraz, St. Helena, Patmos and the Chateau d'If
[Chorus]
Night train
Night train
[Bridge]
And everyone's an island edged with sand
A temporary refuge where somebody else can stand
Till the sea that binds us like the forced tide of a blood oath
Will wear it down—dissolve it—recombine it
Not a knife-throw from here you can hear the night train passing
That's the sound somebody makes when they're getting away
Leaving next week's hanging jury far behind them
Prisoner only of the choices they've made
[Chorus]
Night train
Night train
[Verse 2]
Ice cube in a dark drink shines like starlight
The moon is floating somewhere out at sea
I'm an island in the blur of noise and colour
Alcatraz, St. Helena, Patmos and the Chateau d'If
[Chorus]
Night train
Night train
[Bridge]
And everyone's an island edged with sand
A temporary refuge where somebody else can stand
Till the sea that binds us like the forced tide of a blood oath
Will wear it down—dissolve it—recombine it
