She was the fire and I was the engine   One of a thousand built to last   She was the fire dancing with hunger   She knew I would follow till I ran out of gas      Lost in the summer of burning desire   She lit the night for miles away   Out of control, yeah, she was the fire   And off in the distance she called my name      Engine 999, I'll met you on the roads we used to ride   Engine 999, a thousand dreams we left behind      She was the fire and I was her prisoner   One of a thousand tied to her flame   She was the fire dancing with hunger   And the way she danced was never the same      I was a fool to try and contain her   One of a thousand consumed in her path   Running like wild yeah she was the fire   I was the engine she was calling back      Engine 999, I'll met you on the roads we used to ride   Engine 999, a thousand dreams we left behind      She was the fire and I was the engine   She was the one I couldn't tame   Out of control, yeah, she was the fire   And still I can hear her call my name      Engine 999, I'll met you on the roads we used to ride   Engine 999, a thousand dreams we left behind
