Late nights in the workshop
I have been on a mission
It’s a miracle of science
And it’s ready for ignition
They said it’d never work
They said it wasn’t doable
We’d never find a fuel source
So readily renewable
This train runs on pain
These regrets will feed the jets
Disgrace burns with no trace
This train runs on pain
Get it in your tank like sugar and salt
It can bring your rig to a grinding halt
But tinker with the timing
And advance the spark
It will burn hotter
Than a plasma arc
This train runs on pain
This disturbance will drive the turbines
Turning blues into BTUs
This train runs on pain
Coast to coast
Sea to shining sea
Agony to energy
Mired in depression?
Grounded by aversion?
Check the compression
And make the conversion
Open up the throttle
And see how she runs
Like a genie in a bottle
Or a thousand suns
This train runs on pain
These regrets will feed the jets
Disgrace burns with no trace
This train runs on pain
