cool the engines

now i like takin' off

don't like burnin' out

every time you turn it on

makes me want to shout

we keep getting hotter

movin' way too fast

if we don't slow this fire down

we're not gonna last

cool the engines

red line's gettin' near

cool the engines

better take it out of gear

i'm no fool

i'm gonna keep it cool

and take it day by day

we won't know where we might go

'till we take it all the way

take me for a ride

take me all the way

take me where i've never been

someplace i can stay

don't get yourself too hot

don't get yourself too high

if we don't take it easy now

we can kiss it all goodbye

cool the engines

slow this rocket down

cool the engines

why don't ya take a look around

i'm no fool

gonna keep it cool

take it day by day

we won't know where we might go

'till we take it all the way

cool the engines

cool the engines

goin' over the line

goin' off the dial

runnin' out of time

and it's gettin' wild

got flashin' lights

goin' 'round and 'round

until we get it right

better cool it down

better cool it down. cool the engines. and now we're on our way

no need to hurry just to get from day to day

and i

oooh

i know

we don't have to run that hard to get where we can go. cool the engines. cool the engines down. cool the engines. cool the engines down.
