    Verse 1
    Not 
    a 
    knife 
    throw 
    from 
    here, 

    you 
    can 
    hear 
    the 
    night 
    train 
    passing 

    That's 
    the sound 
    somebody 
    makes 

    when 
    they're 
    getting 
    away 

    Leaving 
    next 
    week's 
    hanging 

    jury 
    far 
    behind 
    them 

    A 
    prisoner 
    only 
    of 
    the 

    Verse 2
    choices 
    they've 
    made 

    Night 
    train 

    Night 
    train 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    Ice 
    cube 
    in a 
    dark 
    drink 
    shines 

    like 
    starlight 

    The moon 
    is 
    floating 
    somewhere 
    out 
    at 
    sea 

    On 
    an 
    island 
    in 
    the 
    blur 
    of 

    noise 
    and 
    color 

    Alcat
    raz, 
    St. 
    Helena, 

    Verse 4
    Patmos 
    and 
    the Chateau 
    D'If 

    Night 
    train 

    Night 
    train 

    Verse 5
    And 
    everyone's 
    an 
    island 

    edged 
    with 
    sand 

    A temporary 
    refuge 
    where 

    somebody 
    else 
    can stand 

    'Til 
    the sea 
    that 
    binds 
    us 
    like 
    the 
    forced 

    tide 
    of 
    a 
    blood 
    oath 

    Will 
    wear 
    it 
    down, 
    dissolve 
    it, 

    Interlude 2
    recombine 
    it 




    Verse 6
    Anyone 
    can 
    die 
    here, 
    they 
    do 
    it every 
    day 

    It 
    doesn't 
    take 
    much 
    effort 

    Though 
    it 
    goes 
    against 
    the 
    grain 

    And 
    the 
    ultimate 
    forgetfulness 

    of 
    violence 

    Sweeps 
    the 
    land
    scape 
    like 

    the 
    headlight 
    of 
    a train 

    Verse 7
    Night 
    train 

    Night 
    train 

    Interlude 3

    Verse 8
    Ice 
    cube 
    in 
    a 
    dark 
    drink 

    shines 
    like 
    starlight 

    Star
    light 
    shines 
    like 
    glass 

    shards 
    in 
    dark 
    hair 

    And 
    the 
    mind's 
    eye 
    tumbles 

    out 
    along 
    the 
    steel 
    track 

    Fix
    ing 
    every 
    shadow 
    with 
    its 
    stare 

    Verse 9
    Night 
    train 

    Night 
    train 

    Interlude 4

    Verse 10
    And 
    in 
    the 
    absence 
    of 
    a 
    vision 

    there 
    are 
    nightmares 

    And 
    in 
    the 
    absence 
    of 
    compassion 

    there 
    is 
    cancer 

    Whose 
    banner 
    waves 
    over 

    palaces 
    and 
    mean 
    streets 

    And 
    the 
    rhythm 
    of 
    the 
    night 
    train 
    is 
    a 
    mantra

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
