lyrics

He said he came from the wrong side of the track
now he's made it cross to money and hes never coming back
He has set his destination in his one track mind
while we're all blowing smoke he's leaving us behind

Yeah he is chugging like an engine
he is working to the bone
he is iron, he is thunder
he is carved right out of stone
there's a fire in his belly
and a burning in his chest
for his one way ticket to fame and success

He's alive with aspiration but he hasn't got a clue
he's surpassing expectations but it's too good to be true
the wheels are getting greasy and he's running out of steam
but he's blinded by ambition and he's reaching for his dreams

Yeah he is chugging like an engine
he is working to the bone
he is iron, he is thunder
he is carved right out of stone
there's a fire in his belly
and a burning in his chest
for his one way ticket to fame and success

He is flying past the station, he's forgotten how to brake
he is hurtling through tunnels as the cabin starts to shake
he is breaking every limit, he is tearing down the line
he has lost all sense of reason, he is running out of time
