Engine 999

(álbum: One Way Home - 1987)

She was the fire and I was the engine
One of a thousand built to last
She was the fire dancing with hunger
She knew I would follow 'til I ran out of gas

Lost in the summer of burning desire
She lit the night for miles away
Out of control, yeah she was the fire
And off in the distance she called my name

Engine 999, I'll meet you on the roads we used to ride
Engine 999, a thousand dreams we left behind

She was the fire and I was her prisoner
One of a thousand tied to her flame
She was the fire dancing with hunger
And the way she danced was never the same

I was a fool to try and contain her
One of a thousand consumed in her path
Running like wild yeah she was the fire
I was the engine she was calling back

Engine 999, I'll meet you on the roads we used to ride
Engine 999, a thousand dreams we left behind

She was the fire and I was the engine
She was the one I couldn't tame
Out of control, yeah she was the fire
And still I can hear her call my name

Engine 999, I'll meet you on the roads we used to ride
Engine 999, a thousand dreams we left behind
