[Verse 2] When you get the paper take a look inside On page twenty-seven there’s a photo of a bride Underneath the story of a man who died in Morocco Memorize the article word for word The man in the homburg understands the code Make sure the conversation isn’t overheard they’re around you Upon that night train to Munich Dm                 Ddim Rumbling down the track After half an hour in the restaurant car Look for the conductor and there will be a stain on his tunic    Dm                   Ddim A paper underneath his arm Then you’d better pray that he doesn’t look away Or you’ll never never never come back. [Verse 3] I really wouldn’t ask if there was anybody else I know you’ve got the knack of taking care of yourself They don’t know your face so there won’t be anyone looking for you When you get to Munich we’ll be waiting in the car Don’t look around just walk straight out If you don’t show I’m sorry for the pain I caused you Upon the night train to Munich Dm                 Ddim Rumbling down the track After half an hour in the restaurant car Look for the conductor and there will be a stain on his tunic    Dm                   Ddim A paper underneath his arm Then you’d better pray that he doesn’t look away Or you’ll never never never come back.

La chanson évoque une rencontre secrète sur un train de nuit se dirigeant vers Munich. Le personnage invite son interlocuteur à suivre des instructions précises pour garantir sa sécurité, fort d’un code mystérieux lié à une conversation clandestine. Il suggère d’observer le conducteur du train, qui porte une tache sur son uniforme, et d'analyser un article de journal sur une mariée et un homme décédé. L'atmosphère de tension est palpable, reflet d'un rendez-vous périlleux où chaque détail compte pour échapper à un danger sous-jacent. Le contexte semble plonger dans une période troublée, évoquant des thèmes de clandestinité et d'évasion, avec une aura de mystère qui entoure le voyage et les personnages impliqués. C'est un voyage non seulement physique, mais également chargé d'une lourde symbolique, où chaque geste peut avoir des conséquences importantes.
