Lyrics

Night train to Munich

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Meet me at the station underneath the clock

Carry an umbrella, no need to talk

The man in the homburg, hding in the fog

Will be watching

Get yourself a ticket, go through the gate

At seven forty-five precisely, don't be late

If anybody follows don't hesitate

Keep on walking

And take the night train to Munich

Rumbling down the track

After half an hour in the restaurant car

Look for the conductor

And there will be a stain on his tunic

A paper underneath his arm

Then you'd better pray that he doesn't look away

Or you'll never, never, never come back.

When you get the paper take a look inside

On page twenty-seven there's a photo of a bride

Underneath the story of a man who died

In Morocco

Memorize the article word for word

The man in the homburg understands the code

Make sure the conversation isn't overheard

They're around you

And take the night train to Munich

Rumbling down the track

After half an hour in the restaurant car

Look for the conductor

And there will be a stain on his tunic

A paper underneath his arm

Then you'd better pray that he doesn't look away

Or you'll never, never, never come back.

I really wouldn't ask if there was anybody else

But I now you've got the knack of taking care of yourself

And they don't know your face so there won't be anyone

Looking for you

When you get to Munich we'll be waiting in the car

Don't look around, just walk straight out

If you don't show, I'm sorry for the pain

I caused you

Upon the night train to Munich

Rumbling down the track

After half an hour in the restaurant car

Look for the conductor

And there will be a stain
