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
