[brass, saxophone, piano and organ by Tilo Rockstroh]

Same old stories and the same old song
I've been living here for much too long
Small town small minds it's all so bloody daunting
Sitting round with nothing to do
watching stupid movies chinese kung fu
Bruce Lee, Zombie Trash, forget your dream-hunting

Down on main street there's a danger sign
saying 'Caution: Dead End Street lies just straight ahead”
Bored teenagers meet each night at nine
getting soused, pale faces like they're back from the dead

I'll be leaving on a night train
Yeah, there's gotta be a better place
Don't wanna be a basket case
No, oh no...

I'll be leaving on a night train
I don't care and I won't turn around
Yeah, I'm gonna break new ground
Hooray, I'm northern bound

Out of this town right now
Leave on a night train now
Out of this town right now
Leave on a night train now

School work death — nothing else to do
just do the things they expect from you
but deep inside you know there's gotta be a better life
somewhere, someplace else
Snow's falling and my bags are packed
I'm gonna leave tonight, well that's a fact
Cause I ain't gonna wait til the best days of my life
have been washed out

And I'm walking down main street for one last time
with its houses that look to me like a scene-of-crime
I'll be trading this life for a real big time
but I don't know where I'm gonna wake up at dawn

I'll be leaving on a night train
Yeah, there's gotta a better place
Don't wanna be a basket case
No, oh no...

I'll be leaving on a night train
I don't care and I won't turn around
Yeah, I'm gonna break new ground
Hooray, I'm northern bound

(Leave on a night train now)
Out of this town right now (Out of this town right now )
Leave on a night train now (Leave on a night train now )
Out of this town right now (Out of this town right now )
Leave on a night train now (Leave on a night train now )
Out of this town right now (Out of this town right now )
Leave on a night train now (Leave on a night train now )
Out of this town right now
(Leave on a night train... Leave on a night train now... )
