Riding the underground, swimming in sweat

A rumble above and below, hey cop don't you know?

The heat's on alright

The hot summer day didn't quit for the night



1277 express to heaven, speeding along like dynamite

1277 express to heaven, rumbles the steel like a dogfight

You caught me in it's spell

Trying to leave but you know darn well

The heat from below can burn your eyes out



Blackened out eyes, scratched on a wall

Stoned out looks from the crowd, the king will not know

On the wall it was said

The flash of his cards was sprayed with red



1277 express to heaven, speeding along like dynamite

1277 express to heaven, rumbles the steel like a dogfight

You caught me in it's spell

Trying to leave but you know darn well

The heat from below can burn your eyes out
