Hundred-fifty tons of steel, rolling through the night
Sparks are dancing in the smoke, the fire´s raging wild
Hundredweights of blackest coal to feed its burning hunger
A melting pot of glowing steel, a hell of grime and smoke


[Pre:]
Smoke and fire, run that pyre


[Chorus:]
Steam and thunder gonna roll you under
Rage and fury gonna spell its name, Locomotive


The railway´s gonna squeaking hard, wheels are dragging over
Red hot grease is on the steel, oiling all the bars
Rhythm´s gonna pounding hard, the monsters own thunder
The whistle-pipe is blowing strong, foretelling what to come


[Pre:]
Smoke and fire, run that pyre


[Chorus:]
Steam and thunder gonna roll you under
Rage and fury gonna spell its name, Locomotive
The stoker´s gonna shoveling coal to melt it in the fire
Sweat is dripping from his brow, vaporizing in the heat


Pressure´s gonna rising high, speeding up the engine
Purgatory comes alive to burn on fires rage
So comon now


Hundred-fifty tons of steel, rolling through the night
Sparks are dancing in the smoke, the fire´s raging wild
Hundredweights of blackest coal to feed its burning hunger
A melting pot of glowing steel, a hell of grime and smoke


[Pre:]
Smoke and fire, run that pyre


[Chorus:]
Steam and thunder gonna roll you under
Rage and fury gonna spell its name, Locomotive
