Intro
Verse
Engine engine #9 I pray today that you're on time
Engineer we'll paint the tracks red These rails will be my final bed
Engine #9 oh please be there the smell of death is in the air
B Section
Standing on the tracks in the middle of the night
There won't be no moon so there won't be no light
Engine #9 I wait on the rails keep it full throttle get me out of this hell
Bridge
I can hear your whistle blowin' a mile away
been run over all my life this is just another day
It won't be your fault so you won't be to blame
I'm just so sick & tired of this liivin' game
Verse
Engine engine #9 hurry up runnin' out of time
Engineer don't use the brakes I gave up so now please take
I just hope your coffee's weak So I can have eternal sleep
This has to be the day I die This pretending to live well it's just a lie
B Section
Standing on the tracks all dressed up in black
Hope I have what it takes there is no turnin' back
Engine #9 I wait on the rails keep it full throttle get me out of this hell
Bridge
I can hear your whistle blowin' a mile away
been run over all my life this is just another day
It won't be your fault so you won't be to blame
I'm just so sick 7 tired of this liivin' game
Chorus
Engine engine #9 Engine engine #9 Engine engine #9
This one day you got to be on time
Engine engine #9 Engine engine #9 Engine engine #9 Engine engine #9
Engine engine #9 Engine engine #9
This has got to be the day that you are on time
This has got to be the day that you are on time
Engine engine #9 Engine engine #9
