| Album | Mercury Falling |
| Lyrics：Sting Music：Sting | |
| Train I ride don't be slow | |
| If your whistle can blow | |
| Fifteen miles down the track | |
| Tell them I'm coming back | |
| Counting poles counting sheep | |
| Don't be slow I won't weep | |
| If your wheels on the line | |
| Were to put me on time | |
| Just a year to the day | |
| Since I went upon my way | |
| To seek my fortune and fame | |
| Be a star, change my name | |
| And that's it more or less | |
| Til this midnight express | |
| I know I can't be late | |
| Cause she said she won't wait | |
| She'll just go marry Jack | |
| So there's no turning back | |
| And it's 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track | |
| Band I had got a break | |
| Just one chance we had to take | |
| Told my girl I'd be back | |
| Left her with my friend Jack | |
| New York City for a spell | |
| Things didn't turn out so well | |
| Every dive that we played | |
| We were lucky we got paid | |
| Mr Train driver please | |
| If your speed you increase | |
| Every cent I have now | |
| Will be yours this I vow | |
| And that's it more or less | |
| Til this midnight express | |
| I know I can't be late | |
| Cause she said she won't wait | |
| She'll just go marry Jack | |
| So there's no turning back | |
| And it's 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track | |
| We called ourselves the Latino Lovers | |
| Hawaiian shirts and top forty covers | |
| I didn't think I could sink this low | |
| When drugs and booze ate all my dough | |
| This isn't how it was meant to be | |
| There's no such thing as a meal that's free | |
| If I was ever to get out alive | |
| I have to get home on time | |
| Train I ride don't be slow | |
| If your whistle can blow | |
| Fifteen miles down the track | |
| Tell them I'm coming back | |
| And that's it more or less | |
| Til this midnight express | |
| I know I can't be late | |
| Cause she said she won't wait | |
| She'll just go marry Jack | |
| So there's no turning back | |
| And it's 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track | |
| And it's 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track |
