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 'til 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
