2 Magnetic East - Midnight Jump

The sound of ivory clicking in the corner
It was the sound of fate loading the dice
She whispered son if you could do it again
Would you cheat now, would you cheat
I said I wouldn't even have to think twice

You can buy absolution for your sins while your away
Lying pays at the border, double cross the Singapore straits
Travelling salesman and a body guard
Putting Chinese merchandise into Russian arms
A long cold rail ahead, well at the border you could wind up dead

I saw a midnight jumper from the train
He was jumping into darkness
Out of light headed for fame
Said he'd seen some kind of sunrise in the west
It kept pulling him like madness
From the east where he was dead
Well I saw a midnight jumper from the train

Bandits caused confusion
Throwing treasure from the train
Played cards five days running
I was on a holiday straight
Travelling lady and a bodyguard
Putting Russian merchandise into foreign arms
Ten minutes of her charm
And a smile that offered nothing but harm
Well I saw a midnight jumper from the
I saw a midnight jumper from the train

Saw a midnight jumper from the train
He was jumping into darkness
Out of light headed for fame
Said he'd seen a revolution in the west
It kept promising him magic
Or a Bug River death
Yeah I saw a midnight jumper from the train
Could you make that midnight jump
