[Verse 1]
Standing in the pouring rain
Waiting for the midnight train

[Chorus 1]
Holy Moses!
Oh, my roses
Have been cut
Along with the laughter

Holy Moses!
She supposes
I won't need
Her love ever-after
Hey!

[Verse 2]
Frozen by the heart that's gone
Reaching out to touch the soul

[Bridge]
Oh-ooh!

[Verse 3]
Leaning all the time, I cry
Looking in the monster's eye

[Chorus 2]
Holy Moses!
Day discloses
I am shocked
Oh, I'm tired and screaming

Holy Moses!
All she knows is
She wants out
Oh, I'm left to my dreaming
Hey!

[Verse 4]
Frozen by the heart that's gone
Reaching out to touch the soul

[Outro]
Holy Moses!
Holy Moses!
Standing in the pouring rain
Waiting for the midnight train
Holding by the love inside it
Upon this side
Whoa God!
Holy God!
I don't know
What I'm gonna do
For me now, sister
Now, now, now

Psychedelic proto-metal duo, consisting of Billy Joel on organ and vocals, and Jon Small on drums. Both had played together previously in a band called The Hassles. Billy Joel – who has since become a popular singer/ songwriter with a large and successful discography – has been known to regard this project as amusingly embarrassing.

The band would release one album in 1970, and would not release any singles.
