Lyrics

It's a search for missing children
Voices down the phone
He packed his bag for nowhere
He knew where he was going
Down that road in the dead of night
There was now no way of knowing
Among the faces and names
And the queen's which face he should be showing
Looking down the shotgun
Bills of order fell
She whispered something private
I didn't care to hear
Oh, but I was close enough
An angel dressed in black
Feel the beat in his chest
Rolling, rolling, rolling down the track
Reaching all this black dust
In queen of soul knows where
Come watch her squeeze the trigger
On the night train
On the night train out of nowhere
She was all his mystery
She was his only one
Looking for deliverance
The boy was on the run
I was out of business
But someone else was gone
No ending or beginning
Just smoke and a barking dog
There comes a voice from the shadows
Hey brother, oh yeah
Let this boy on the down
I could read his face so clear
Reaching all this black dust
In queen of soul knows where
Come watch her squeeze the trigger
On that night train out of nowhere
Reaching all this black dust
Queen of soul knows where
Come watch her squeeze the trigger
She's on the night train
On the night train out of nowhere
Out of nowhere
On the night train out of nowhere
On the night train
On the night train out of nowhere
The night train out of nowhere
The night train
Well, the night train
The night train out of nowhere
Out of nowhere
Out of nowhere
The night train
The night train out of nowhere
