Cinderella was on the last train   That stops at every station   Yes, she stayed long after midnight   Yes, she gave in to temptation   She thought her lipstick and her hairspray   Would stand her in good stead   And Cinderella is on the last train   When she should be home in bed      The man - he leans across the table   With his coat over his arm   Hoping she might read its label   Its his one and only charm      While she's thinking of excuses   She should make when she gets home   Like a bomb scare or an accident   Nowhere near a working phone      Cinderella was on the last train   That stops at every station   Yes, she stayed long after midnight   And she gave in to temptation   She thought her lipstick and her hairspray   Would stand her in good stead   And Cinderella is on the last train   When she should be home in bed      The man - he stares at her reflection   Hoping he won't catch her eye   She's just a face against the darkness   With streetlights flying backwards in the sky      The train - it stops between two stations   A cold wind blows over his knee   And he's filled with trepidation   When he thinks where he should be:      Not with Cinderella on the last train   That stops at every station   Yes, he stayed long after midnight   And yes, he gave in to temptation   He thought her lipstick and her hairspray   Would stand him in good stead   He's with Cinderella on the last train   When he should be home in bed      The dawn - it rises in the distance   Like one they'd never seen before   Now there's a poem on the window   And there are burnmarks on the floor      And the collector walks straight past them   Returning to his flask of tea   He's smiling safely in the knowledge   He's the only one that's paid to be      With Cinderella on the last train   That stops at every station   Yes, she stayed long after midnight   Yes, she gave in to temptation   He thought her lipstick and her hairspray   Would stand her in good stead   Now Cinderella is on the last train   When she should be home in bed      Should be home in bed   She should be home in bed
