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
12-77 express to heaven
Speeding along like dynamite
12-77 express to heaven
Rumbles the steel like a dogfight
You caught me in a spell
Trying to leave, but you know darn well
The heat from below can burn your eyes out
Blackened out eyes scratched on the wall
Stoned outlooks from the crowd
The king will not know, on the wall, it was said
The flash of his cards was sprayed with red
12-77 express to heaven
Speeding along like dynamite
12-77 express to heaven
Rumbles the steel like a dogfight
You caught me in a spell
Trying to leave, but you know darn well
The heat from below can burn your eyes out
12-77 express to, 12-77 express to
12-77 express to heaven
Speeding along like dynamite
12-77 express to heaven
Rumbles the steel like a dogfight
You caught me in a spell
Trying to leave but you know darn well
The heat from below can burn, yeah, burn!
Your eyes out, your eyes out
