Sung to “Starlight Express” from “Starlight Express”
When the denunciations’ been said
And you are sure you’ll be dead
Before the night is through
And though you’re hidden well down
You get the feeling that sound
Is the citizens coming for you
When you think your mind is missing
That’s when you hear the whistling
Of the midnight brain
Here again
Can’t explain that midnight brain
That midnight brain
Scarlet Pimpernel
You really must tell
Are you real? Yes or no?
Scarlet Pimpernel
“Yes”, please tell
I don’t want you to go
Want you to take me away
From Paris before daylight
And in the time between
Hide me anywhere
But don’t abandon me there
Just want to say I’ve been
I believe in you completely
Though I may be dreaming sweetly
I can hear the brain
Here again
Can’t explain that midnight brain
That midnight brain
Scarlet Pimpernel
You really must tell
Are you real? Yes or no?
Scarlet Pimpernel
“Yes,” please tell
I don’t want you to go
Scarlet Pimpernel
“Yes,” please tell
I don’t want you to go
