GIn this dirty town there's nothing Cgoing for me
GNo shows going down that I would Cwant to see
GNothing but the midnight Emtra----Cin
GIn this shady street on a Ctop floor flat
GWomen take their sheets down Cto the laundromat
GAnd as the night falls on this Emto-----Cwn
CHORUS
I'm going to Gwatch Dthe Emmoon Dcome Cdown
GWatch Dthe Emmoon Dcome Cdown
I'm gonna GWatch Dthe Emmoon Dcome Cdown
GWatch Dit Emcome Ddown
GAs the workmen walk home, reCflected in the car chrome
GSplashing through the gutters Cand the sand
GThe birds move in the rafters CHearing echoes of the laughter
GFrom children in a playground Cclose at hand
DAnBmd hands inside my pockets, Staring at the light sockets
CEvDeryone's been blown out Everyone's been thrown out
CI said baby baby baby baby baby 
REPEAT CHORUS
GIf I stay out all night CTest the midnight train's headlights
GFollow the tracks beyond sight Cto the bend
GNow who've I got to let down, Tell me somebody with their head down
GBargin' into solid ground Cin the end DIn the end, yBmeah in the end
CWaitin for the end, Darrive to the end, hey hey (guitar solo)
CI said baby baby baby baby baby 
GWatch Dthe Emmoon Dcome Cdown (three times)
Yes I'm going to Gwatch Dthe Emmoon Dcome Cdown
Yeah I'm going to Gwatch Dthe Emmoon Dcome Cdown Like a midnight train uh huh 
Uh uh I'm going to Gwatch Dthe Emmoon Dcome Cdown watch it come down 
Yes I'm going to Gwatch Dthe Emmoon Dcome Cdown, like a midnight train (fade)
