Runner of the Railways Lyrics

I'm coming from the north, east, south, to the west
I'm off before you know it and I know it's for the best

I'll be running you down in a cloud of bloody steam
I'm gonna eat you up, and I'll love it when you scream

I'm a loco with a motive and you'll ride with me tonight
Here's my bullet train, whoa Now it's out of sight

Runner of the railways
Runner of the railways
Runner of the railways
Runner of the railways

Your InterCity daddy tried to catch me in vain
You oiled me up so good, I can outrun all the pain

I know, that with this pace, I could be running off the track
A broken heart at every station longing for me to come back

Let a railcar run me down into pieces with a crack
I'll leave my baggage there where all the tunnels end in black

Runner of the railways
Runner of the railways
Runner of the railways
Runner of the railways

Runner of the railways (Runner of the railways)
I'm a runner of the railways (Running)
Runner of the railways (Runner of the railways)
I'm the runner of the railways (Running)

With a coal black heart, teeth grinding on grit
Veins are pumping oil, and my head is full of shit
I don't really care if you get stuck out on the street
Everyone's a sucker for my first class seat

Runner of the railways
Runner of the railways
Runner of the railways
I'm the runner of the railways
Runner of the railways (Runner of the railways)
I'm the runner of the railways (Running)
Runner of the railways (Runner of the railways)
I'm the runner of the railways
I'm running
