Engine #9
Calling engine number nine
The box car's on fire
But still on time
Feeling dizzy on the tracks
Ain't built for going back
Can't relapse
Heading south
Rails bend around
Got more speed than the ratings allow
The railway line
Is past its prime
And the signal's out
Calling engine number nine
The coal men are tired
Of going blind
Can't decide if the heat
Is from the smoke or the steam
it's stifling
Heading south
Rails bend around
Got more speed than the ratings allow
The railway line
Is past its prime
And the signal's out
The pistons fire
The heart is strong, but it's getting wilder
Choking back from the smoking stack
One station away from a panic attack
Heading south
Rails bend around
Got more speed than the ratings allow
The railway line
Is past its prime
And the signal's out
The box car's on fire
But still on time
Feeling dizzy on the tracks
Ain't built for going back
Can't relapse
Heading south
Rails bend around
Got more speed than the ratings allow
The railway line
Is past its prime
And the signal's out
Calling engine number nine
The coal men are tired
Of going blind
Can't decide if the heat
Is from the smoke or the steam
it's stifling
Heading south
Rails bend around
Got more speed than the ratings allow
The railway line
Is past its prime
And the signal's out
The pistons fire
The heart is strong, but it's getting wilder
Choking back from the smoking stack
One station away from a panic attack
Heading south
Rails bend around
Got more speed than the ratings allow
The railway line
Is past its prime
And the signal's out
