Marko Hietala - Runner Of The Railways

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 am 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
I'm a runner of the railways
Runner of the railways
I'm a runner of the railways

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 a runner of the railways

Runner of the railways
I'm a runner of the railways
Runner of the railways
I'm a runner of the railways
