Midnight Train To Moscow

(Album: Rats In The Burlap - 2015)

Winter, swirling glistening
Like diamonds on the road!
Kilted clad we made off through the night
And through the snow!
Destined for the Moskovsky Station
There to hop a lift!
On a midnight train to Moscow
Through the barren frozen drifts!

Our freight is laden in the dark
We board the metal curse!
The next 8 hour uncertain
For the better or the worse!
The Russian cops aboard are
Charming let us scream about!
In the dining car we party
With some lassies on our route!

On the midnight train to Moscow
The Iron Horse we ride!
Pushing through the frigid land on
Frozen tracks we slide!
With any luck we'll disembark in Moscow...
Tonight

Finally docking at the station
Getting locks turned out!
Explain our situations man
The Russians have their doubts!
They let us go we load up in our van
And on our way
The memories of our journey
Leaving a song for us to say

On the midnight train to Moscow
The Iron Horse we ride!
Pushing through the frigid land on
Frozen tracks we slide!
With any luck we'll disembark in Moscow...
Tonight
