Got 'em running got 'em stunning

Got 'em dreaming got em jumping

Up and down and in the corner shouting "iko wayo!"

Are they steaming are they starin'

Will they kick it to the border

Are we making mounds from mountains look who's thinking oh no

'bout the truth about the daring

If we're making a new hoarder

If we're solving every riddle with a skull and crossed bones

If we're crying or we're laughing

If we put the two together

If it's never been a question of whether we should

Take an engine down the county line

A fume or two will keep it runnin' fine and

Well-uh well-uh that's a mighty fine fella

At the front, eyes straight and nobody can tell-uh that

Choke the furnace cuz soon they'll find

The conductor is running blind

Yeah he's filling up the pails and uh

Clearing off the rails and uh

Conjuring a prayer that the brakes ain't gonna fail and

Hold on tight

Hold on for dear life

Oh the feeding and the biting of the locusts (Roller coaster baby)

We perspire, hope and wish and wonder (Teach me to feel shame again)

Are we too late to atone? (Bowl me over baby never be the same again)

While avoiding and employing (Hold me closer baby)

Every method from the liars and the gluttons (Show me how to feel again)

Found by Dante and the new inferno (Give me closure baby make it all too real again)

Wire walking while they're talking (Keep composure baby)

When you see a holy choir and (Tell me what you see again)

Another preacher promise gonna take us all home (Full exposure baby can you take me as I am)

And then finding bless-ed timing

And its started up the HURT

We want the HURT

Bring on the HURT

Before the healing comes

Like the first time that your face met pavement

Like the first time you found what the pain meant

Feel the hesitation course through your veins

The procrastination as the blood drains

Take an engine down the county line

A fume or two keep it runnin' fine and

Well-uh well-uh that's a mighty fine fella

At the front, eyes straight and nobody can tell-uh that

Choke the furnace cuz soon they'll find

The conductor is uh running blind

Yeah he's filling up the pails and uh

Clearing off the rails and uh

Conjuring a prayer that the brakes ain't gonna fail and

Hold on tight

Hold on for dear life

Mercy me let the waves wash over

Wash away wash away

Let every tear combine

Mercy me let the waves wash over

Wash away wash away

The pain left in your eyes

Mercy me let the waves wash over

Wash away wash away

Let every tear combine

Mercy me let the waves wash over

Wash away wash away

The pain left in your eyes

Mercy me wash over

Runnin' runnin'

Hold on

We're comin' now

Mercy me wash over

Runnin' runnin'

Hold on

We're comin' now

Mercy me wash over

Runnin' runnin'

Hold on

We're comin' now

Mercy me wash over

Runnin' runnin'

Hold on

We're comin' now

Wash away wash away (Mercy me)

Why should I wait? (Wash over)

Wash away wash away (Mercy me)

Why should I wait? (Wash over)

For an engine down the county line

A fume or two keep it runnin' fine and

Well-uh well-uh that's a mighty fine fella

At the front, eyes straight and nobody can tell-uh that

Choke the furnace cuz soon they'll find

The conductor is uh running blind

Yeah he's filling up the pails and uh

Clearing off the rails and uh

Conjuring a prayer that the brakes ain't gonna fail and

Sure enough it would be a crime

To do it all on the company dime

Yeah we'll push it to the edge

Until we push it the ledge and then

Maybe only maybe we can find a way to hedge our duty

Hold on tight

Hold on for dear life
