A song about someone doing what they need to do, yet longing to get back to where they want to be, featuring a brilliant vocal performance by Al Costa.

All original rock and roll, in many different flavors and textures....
A year has now passed since we chose to experiment with marketing our music through channels such as iTunes, Napster, Amazon and others. As this experiment has convinced us that keeping our day jobs was indeed a very wise idea, that album will no longer be available after April 24, 2009. It's for that reason that we've re-enabled downloads for all our music on here - if you like what we've done, feel free to download it and add it to your collections.

Story behind the song
It's a personal look at a situation I've been in, and how I felt about it.
Lyrics
I walk along the empty streets Listen to the city's beat The stillness in the dead of night The buzzing of the neon lights There's a man with rolled up sleeves Dirty apron hanging to his knees Hosing down the concrete path As if it were a cleansing bath (chorus) Taking the midnight train Ride all night through the rain Taking me back where I belong I know it's just another city I know it's just another song This is where I make a living It's not the place where I belong They pour up from the subway stairs Like salmon make their way upstream Another day is just beginning Time to put away their dreams (chorus) Taking the midnight train Ride all night through the rain Taking me back where I belong A lonely vendor at his cart Much too early for a sale Leans back in his folding chair And sorts through his old mail Time for me to pack my things And leave this place behind I'll start again another day But for now this time is mine (chorus) Taking the midnight train Ride all night through the rain Taking me back where I belong (repeat chorus to fade)
