Hell on Wheels Songtext
von Bruce Dickinson

Devil′s driving down the track
Hell on wheels and it won't turn back
Engine racing down a one way street
Speed wheel chasing in a red line heat

Into the blackness, into the night
Out of the tunnel, into the light
Red for danger that′s just for show
Climb aboard come as you go

Hard to steer when the devil's driving
Helen's wheels and the brake′s won′t hold
Hard to steer when the devil's driving
Hell on wheels and the brake′s won't hold

Too smart to come she just arrived
Only gave her one but she′s using five
Minutes of time in the usual place
If I was strapped in you could sit on my place


The door's were locked, the windows sealed
Hitting me with the jack was the devil′s deal
Blue light flashing as the lipstick smudge
Diving for cover in a tunnel of glove

Hard to steer when the devil's driving
Helen's wheels and the brake′s won′t hold
Hard to steer when the devil's driving
Hell on wheels and the brake′s won't hold

Something′s driving me I don't know where
Something down in my cellar somewhere
No one waiting for me down the line
No one waiting for me this time, check it out

Hard to steer when the devil′s driving
Helen's wheels and the brake's won′t hold
Hard to steer when the devil′s driving
Hell on wheels and the brake's won′t hold

Knuckle down, stick shift, take it slow
Easy come means easy go
Lay off the gas, make it last
Cuz under my hood she's blowin′ fast


Into the blackness, into the night
Out of the tunnel, into the light
Red for danger that's just for show
Climb aboard come as you go

Hard to steer when the devil′s driving
Helen's wheels and the brake's won′t hold
Hard to steer when the devil′s driving
Hell on wheels and the brake's won′t hold

Hard to steer
Yes, it's hard to steer
Hard to steer when the devil′s driving

C'mon
Hard to steer you know it′s hard to steer
Hard to steer when the devil's driving
