Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Only believe, son
The Starlight Express will help you
How many times have you found, though you were firm on the ground
Still, the world around you sways
You notice all that you've got does not add up to a lot
And the way your heads amazed
You've used everything inside you
So maybe it's time you tried to find
A brand new power to shine a light
A light to brighten up your darkest hour
[Verse 2]
Starlight Express hears your distress
He's there, all around
Starlight Express will answer you, "Yes"
He's waiting to be found
[Verse 3]
Starlight Express hears your distress
He's there, all around
Starlight Express will answer you, "Yes"
(Control, control)
(Thirty seconds till close of entries for heat 2)
(Engines report)
[Verse 4]
When your good nights have been said
And you are lying in bed
With the covers pulled up tight
And though you count every sheep
You get the feeling that sleep
Is going to stay away tonight
[Verse 5]
That's when you hear it coming
That's when you hear the humming of
The midnight train, here again
Can't explain that midnight train
That midnight train
[Verse 6]
Starlight Express, you must confess
Are you real? Yes or no?
Starlight Express, answer me, "Yes"
I don't want you to go
[Verse 7]
Want you to take me away
But bring me back before daylight
And in the time between
Take me to everywhere
But don't abandon me there
Just want to say I've been
[Verse 8]
I believe in you completely
Though I may be dreaming sweetly
I can hear the train
Here again
Can't explain that midnight train
That midnight train
[Verse 9]
Starlight Express, you must confess
Are you real? Yes or no?
Starlight Express, answer me, "Yes"
I don't want you to go
[Verse 10]
Starlight Express, answer me, "Yes"
I don't want you to go
Starlight Express, you must confess
Are you real? Yes or no?
Starlight Express, answer me, "Yes"
I don't want you to go
