Gregory Porter - Light At The End Of The Tunnel
текст песни

Well done, rusty, king of the track
Well done, rusty, king of the track

I love it when romance occurs on the railroad
The steamer she dreamed of turns
Up right on time now steam is the winner
Now steam's back in style
Maybe smokers might rate an occasional smile

Greaseball you're hurt

No dinah, please don't cry
I'm washed up, i'm finished
And gee, down am i
I'm i don't know how to tell it

Come on, greaseball, you can spell it

Ok dinah, i'm s o r r r y pOPPA
You could be converted

WHADDYA MEAN

Rebuilt, with a new & better form of power

You mean i could be converted to steam

SURE COULD and with steam you'd be
Under your own control

Engines must obey control!
Engines must obey control!
Do what you're told!

Shut it, control!

Diesel is for unbelievers
Electricity is wrong
Steam has got the power that
Will pull us along
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
The inside might be as black as the night
But there's a light at the end of the tunnel
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
The inside might be as black as the night
But at the end of the tunnel there's a light

It's the power of james watt
The steaming scot

The man who watched the pot
And said "hey, i've got a brilliant plot
When the steam is hot
It seems to make a lot of power"

It could turn a wheel

LOTS OF POWER

It can drive it down the track

Tickety tack, tickety tack pOPPA
It could drive it with a beat

CHOO CHOO CHOO
With enough left over for a woo woo

He saw the light at the end of the tunnel
He saw the light at the end of the tunnel
Thanks james watt for watching that pot
He saw the light at the end of the tunnel
He saw the light at the end of the tunnel
The inside might be as black as the night
But at the end of the tunnel there's a light

There are dark days ahead when
The power goes dead
When the oil runs dry what can we try?

We could use the sunlight

But it don't shine at night

Electricity is fine

Til there's leaves on the line

NUCLEAR FISSION

Makes nasty emissions

OH YEAH

Once again the pistons will be humming
Steam will have a second coming

We see the light at the end of the tunnel
We see the light at the end of the tunnel
When that angel gabriel blows his magic toot
You see the light at the end of the tunnel
You see the light at the end of the tunnel
So let the water boil gOODBYE TO OIL
At the end of the tunnel there's a light

You see the light at the end of the tunnel
You see the light at the end of the tunnel
When that angel gabriel blows his magic toot
You see the light at the end of the tunnel
You see the light at the end of the tunnel
We see the distant gleam
That tells you its steam
At the end of the tunnel there's a light

STARLIGHT!
