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
