NIGHT TRAIN TO MUNICH

Meet me at the station underneath the clock 
Carry an umbrella, no need to talk 
The man in the homburg, hiding 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 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
